Malky Mackay hails his defeated 'warriors'
26 Aug 2009Malky Mackay hailed his young Watford side as "warriors", despite seeing them crash out of the Carling Cup with a 2-1 defeat at Leeds.
The Hornets boss fielded a largely second string team at Elland Road and paid the price as two goals from Robert Snodgrass earned the League One side a place in the third round.
Mackay, who saw Marvin Sordell net his first goal for the club to take the tie into extra-time, said: "Overall I look at my group and I see a team of warriors who really gave their all for the club. They threw everything at Leeds. They're a big club with a big tradition."
