    British and Irish players keep on scoring.. dam them.

    <whistle>

    Interesting to see the young players score 7 - I suspect Zola will be quite impressed although maybe the opposition made loads of changes.

    Rumour is we will now be playing B Dortmund in Austria, the team heading to Austria today and playing Sunday. Dortmund have had their opponent cancel too

    Will be a good test of formation, which looks like it will become almost a 3-4-3

    I wonder what they mean by Dortmund B?

    According to their website, they have a 'pro squad' of 28 players and an 'amateur squad' that appears to consist of U23 players.

    The pro squad have played 3 pre-season games so far - with attendances of 49000, 26000 and 19000 <yikes>

    Nothing on either the Dortmund web site or their fans forum about a B match against us. If it were their B team (which is the same as the U 23 team) they would be at the level of German 3 Bundesliga (Lower half) and the chances of first team players being there would be very small because in German football A and B teams are run almost as different clubs with little interchange of personnel, I don't think they even train together.

    Watford team:

    Almunia; Smith, Brown, Cassetti; Anya, Hogg, Romero; Abdi, McGugan; Assombalonga, Forestieri.

    Watford team:

    Bond; Doyley, Angella, O'Nien: Faraoni, Murray, Pudil; Fabbrini, Battocchio; Acuna, Deeney.

    Not sure which is A and which is B :)
