Malky Mackay calls for change to Easter programme

Watford boss Malky Mackay is furious the congested Easter programme has decimated his squad before Saturday's relegation battle with Plymouth.

Monday's 1-1 draw against West Brom left his physio's room like a casualty ward, after Tom Cleverley suffered a serious knee injury and Will Buckley and Lloyd Doyley required attention.

Martin Taylor and Heidar Helguson didn't even get to face Albion after injuries at Preston on Saturday.

Mackay said: "One day between games is not enough in the modern age. It should be a full programme on Good Friday and then maybe a Monday list."
