    Well at least WTE get's to give his customary penalty away in pre season I guess.

    We've been deprived of his ducking out of headers for too long.

    Good pressing by Dion Charles forced Will Troost-Ekong to give the ball away and the @WatfordFC defender got a telling off by the referee following a late challenge on @GThomason14.

    Remember guys, this a team quoted by a CEO as being "promotion worthy". Lessons learnt and all that.

    .@WatfordFC looked to work an opportunity, but Tom Dele-Bashiru fired his eventual effort over the bar from just outside the box.

    Worrying that Kiko still isn't involved? Family issue?

    It's still classed as a "home game" as it's LC. Lost to Cambridge, losing today. Still haven't won on home soil since November. Could change today though.

    Feel like it's pretty funny/telling that they snuck out the Manaj signing announcement literally in between warm-up posts for this behind closed doors pre-season friendly.

    Can't be his fault. He's a top class keeper who deserves a shot at the highest level. In his own words, it's "incomprehensible" he doesn't start if he's fit.

    This season is going to be so toxic. It’s going to be absolutely ace. I’m here for it.

    I know results don’t matter.

    But surely performances bad enough to see you trailing 2-0 to a lower division team potentially could?

    What a shambles. I know it's only pre season blah blah, but it does tell you how "ready" this squad are. Bolton were a cobbled together squad of youngsters two years ago on the brink of liquidation. Fair play to them for turning that around and even getting promoted to League One. They are the better side by just text and even after a river rafting exercise we still hit choppy waters. Edwards to find his formula and get the team fighting again. Nothing so far since the season ended has been encouraging results wise, friendlies or not.
