Did hear that this game was arranged for The Valley to begin with.As yet no match fixed pre season at home.Does that not tell you something about the very hard season ahead of us.Always played one friendly at home for as long as i can remember.
[cite]Posted By: ShootersHillGuru[/cite]Why are our pre season games ALWAYS away ?
We struggle to cover our costs on friendlies, so we have to be confident of attracting a reasonable crowd. For that reason we would never play a team from a lower level at The Valley so I admit to being completely baffled as to why Watford would play us.
Part of the deal that brought John Barnes to The Valley?
Only person missing is Francis then, who is short on match fitness, and Youga obviously. By the looks of that squad we need to sign our trialists (Marshall, Bauza and Fortune) and get a winger and a pacey 20 goal a season striker in and I'd be very happy.
I would expect to see Francis on the bench at least ahead of Mambo, and another striker/attacking midfielder in front of Stav too, by the time September 1st comes around
Daily is skipper too, he'll get it for the season.
GOAL! Watford lead as Graham taps home from close range after Elliot saves from Sordell. Charlton were unlucky with ricochet in build-up
I am surprised there is no Mulley, but he's played every match so far, so he's probably wankered, I would sign him up still, he's not going to cost a lot and could do a job, after all he has played about 6 different positions for us already!

Francis will be our first choice right back. He just isn't match fit.
Good to see Marshall, Fortune & Bauza still here, hope Mulley is too. If we got those 4, a LB on loan, a winger and a decent striker in I would be very happy indeed - I guess I am being a bit greedy though hoping for another 7 players!!

Got stuffed 4-2...
Last season's was hardly a bundle of joy. I might miss this one but depends how bored i am at the time
Valley Gold get first dibs.
I don't think there's going to be a problem paying on the day.

In the usual end so might want to find a pub or two beforehand!
We've all clubbed together and ordered a taxi.
I bet your lot are getting excited at the thought of rubbing your horns watching us....?
Probably be a booze and snooze in the sun, bit like watching cricket.
With our squad atm so thin and pretty experienced we'll probably be playing you in the league next season if you not go up.
Subs : Marshall, Llera, Fortune, Mambo, Stavrinou, Bauza, Abbott

Add the 2 signings from yesterday and I'm a lot happier with the team than I expected to be a month ago. Just worried about lack of pace at the back.
