Hayden Mullins is taking training at Watford today.
Quique Sanchez Flores was dismissed on Sunday following defeat by Southampton, having only returned to replace Javi Gracia in September.
Under-23 coach Mullins was to take training on Monday and insiders believe the squad needs a psychological jolt as opposed to major surgery echoing Flores' suggestion that Saturday's collapse against Southampton was the result of mental fragility.
He admitted after their 1-0 lead evaporated that "one goal for us now is a tragedy".
It's since been confirmed Mullins will be in charge for Wednesday's game at Leicester City.
