MacKay told the official Watford website:<\/p>\n
“It was a straight ball down the middle and I don’t want to be conceding goals like that. The players will be disappointed with the second goal.<\/p>\n
“Once again we’re making individual errors and I think the second goal was a goal we could have stopped. Up until then it was fairly even.<\/p>\n
“After that we’ve got to get ourselves back into the game and Swansea keep the ball very well. I’d have loved to have made their ‘keeper make a few more saves, but I can’t criticise the effort and energy today.<\/p>\n
“The last goal came because we were pushing on so much. I wasn’t going to sit and just lose 2-1, that’s why we pushed people on.<\/p>\n
“I think it was a fairly tight first half and we had some chances early on. We knew the passing game that Swansea were going to play and I wanted us to press them and take the game to them, which I think at times we did.<\/p>\n
“It was a fantastic strike,” he added reflecting on Bodde’s equaliser “but it doesn’t help not having a lead for longer. It happened in a flash and until I’ve seen it again I’m not going to put any blame on anyone.<\/p>\n
“Positives I can take are that the lads are giving everything that they’ve got, they’ve got a lot of effort and a lot of energy when they’re attacking.<\/p>\n
“We’ve given them the license and freedom to go and attack teams and I think, at times, they did that.<\/p>\n
“We’re staying over in Swansea, and although my sole focus up to now has been on today’s game, tonight we’ll turn to Tuesday.<\/p>\n
“I am bothered about the Carling Cup, especially in the position I am in at the Club at the moment, and the position of the Club.<\/p>\n
“I think it’s important that we get to the next round so I definitely am bothered about the Carling Cup. It’s a game I want to win.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
