    5 goals conceded to League One teams in pre-season so far.

    It's comforting to know that defence is not a problem area for the club though.

    They will make the excuse we only played on Sunday and had a trip back from Austria

    Can count on it.

    I suppose Liverpool fans are having a similar melt down after losing 4-0 to United in a friendly

    While I dont necessarily disagree, a few twitter updates is all we have to go on in regards to the performance. A mistake by Bachmann and a really well struck 2nd doesnt, in a vacum, mean we've played badly per sa. By all accounts we've had far more chances, hit the bar and another disallowed.

    However, over the last 2 and a half games there are some worrying trends. Mainly the 1 goal scored for 5 conceaded against lower level opposition.

    Three Watford changes at the break.

    ON: Okoye, Sema, Sarr.

    OFF: Bachman, Ngakia, Bayo.

    Sema right wing back? God I wish we could watch this.

    I don't want to get too carried away about pre season. However, it is worrying that we have had a few weeks of pre season and we have a relatively strong side out and yet still find ourselves 2-0 down to a league 1 side. Especially after losing 3-1 to Cambridge. I know it is only pre season but its not good is it?!

    Bayo hooked again, he'll start the season on the bench at this rate

    Wait until we only get a point out of our first three games.

    Bachmann will be straight on Twitter ranting how he didn't play the 90.

    In miniscule amounts, yes - the actual toxicity of straight Botulinum is absolutely incredible, when you consider a form of it is injected into your face to temporarily remove wrinkles. Remember seeing some infographic saying a kilogram would be enough to infect all of Europe, or some other such ridiculous proposition.

    Although left footed Sema always played right wing when he played in Sweden

    Basically we cannot score or defend...

    Much like last season!

    We all know what will happen if we start the season like this which is more than possible given the games.

    Maybe the defence will set a very different record this champ season ?

    Sheff Utd have just battered Lincoln 6-0 away from home. Sounds really ominous so far...

    Mmm, but then again, the botox form is a much altered and diluted one that makes up just part of a whole concocted formula, and Botulinum is a toxin produced by a protein, so I imagine it would take a lot of effort to produce a kg of the concentrated form, at the same time, you know.

    It’s not all bad. We’re keeping clean sheets up front.

    Yes but Lincoln finished 9 places below Bolton in the table so a 6-0 away win is pretty much the same as a 0-2 home defeat.
    COYH.

    Don't people know results mean nothing in pre-season? In fact it's a good thing if we lose heavily to a lower league team as it makes it more likely we will win later, or something.

    Boltons keeper has pulled a couple of really good saves to deny Sarr, whose already had more attempts on target in 20 minutes then Bayo has had in 2 and a half games

    I'm hoping the first goal conceded was WTE's fault, and the second was Pollock's.

    Kalu on for Pedro. So two wingers playing upfront now
