    Louza, Bola, Abankwah and Baah make way for Dele-Bashiru, Kamga, Mullins and Irankunda.

    Irankunda was certainly quick and skillful .

    Hopefully Pollock is ok .

    Certainly seemed to be more mobile up front and press well .

    Selvic was very steady and made some good saves, they kept possession very well and knew how to go down when we won possession back and pleaded for their lives when they took one of our players out, bit like our girls against Spain in the Euro Final

    Sissoko looked good when he came on

    Overall a very good runout preseason

    We are still missing a few players and got a very young side out plus Sissoko.

    Think we have more pace and skill in the side but bit sloppy at times and the press was broken a lot particularly on the left side .

    No more programmes! I'm not too surprised given other clubs have done this, but I am disappointed. I can't make many games, so often get one when I go, and it makes me feel more connected to the club having the match specific statements from the manager, captain, etc. Glad I got one for the last game I went to last season against Hull. I think it's a bit sad, and another footballing tradition that's dying.

    When I left England, I was able to hand over my collection to a 12-year-old.
    Some were single sheets from reserve games, but altogether there were fifty years of Watford history in those programs.

    Sadly I've also seen that the Golden Pages fanzine stopped at the end of last season too. I wonder if there's a gap in the market now for anyone selling fanzines outside the ground? Or are there other fanzines people are selling I'm not aware of?

    Ngakia is a helluva lot better going forwards than defending!

    His shots never quite make it mind, he has scored one goal in 98 games with us.

    Probably has more assists though!

    I think that as he was through our academy he gets away with a lot. I don't rate him. Or Ngakia really to that matter.

    Andrews has 6 goals in 92 games.

    Give my Lloyd for defending any day and his one immense goal of a legend!

    I have a collection from the 1960's/70's including the Football League Review which was a good read. Would like to dispose of them, when I find them again.

    My mum's got mine or maybe at my dad's. I didn't leave many things in the UK, I believe.

    When I was in England last year, she said she had thrown away my coin collection mind when clearing things out. Look I am no coin collector or coiny, but it was a nice collection of a coin from every country I had visited, and this was before the Euro came in. Shame as it would have been nice to look back through to help memories!

    Her space her call I said grumpily!
