Think we might have lost Johnny at Sevilla, not logged on since 29th June

Watford manager is getting a early start on preparations as he will be absent from the dugout this week as he will be flying off to Ibiza for a well earned holiday/honeymoon 

WATFORD;

A slight stumble last week Vs Spurs as dangerman Sanchez pegged the Hornets back, however the team still gave the manager encouragement so no needless changes made this week. However, new manager bounce expected at Villa under Martys stewardship? Hopefully the manager is still tinkering and making changes... Watford are bringing in Pape Sarr over from Genk after his impressive start to the season IRL. Need to ensure plenty of competition for places with Lavia keen to break into the side, ESR and Barnes all pushing. Even the mercurial Evan Ferguson will look to get a run in the cup games this season.

GENK;

Genk made a statement win last week Vs Liege and leapfrogged into top spot. Will have to resist the temptation to sell to many players from Genk. However, the amount of talent the manager likes to nurture makes that hard as he doesn't want to block the path to first team football with to many aging players. Likes of Lopy, Theate, Ugochuwu all ready for first XI action. Also Loanee Aster Vranckx comes back to the side having made his debut for Belgium. Also new face.. Boniface.. will look to push Lukaku at CF. This weeks opponents are unmanaged Gent.. Only change to the side is Lukaku is back from injury and replaces Brobbey upfront. 

LEVERKUSEN;

After a stumbling start, probably due to to many changes at the club during the offseason. The side managed there first win eventually. Some players still struggling to earn their spot in the XI, but the manager is reluctant to change now the side are back to winning, should some players form continue though, decisions will need to be made on their future as the side can't afford passengers when trying to win silverware. Hopefully Lewandowski can continue to drag the side through games. This weeks opponents are Bremen. 

BOTAFOGO;

A straightforward week for the Rio club... Win at all costs! A slight dip of form last week seen the side leapfrogged by rivals Santos. Who also happen to be this weeks opponents so a win is desperately needed to avoid falling further behind in the challenge for the Brasileiro title! Can the defence stop Gabigol? Or is it just about out scoring... Also a tense affair so hopefully the manager can Inspire the side.. but shouldn't need to be Fired up too much Vs the League leaders! 



Goodluck to all, try to cheer the side on from the pool! 

Johnny did say he was extremely busy moving house and other stuff and he did want to carry on, I'm sure he will update me when he has more time.

International games have kicked off.

League games will kickoff at 1000 hours today...

Another big week, PLymouth still finding their feet following the new additions face Charlton - with minimal changes, though a very slight tweak in midfield hopefully will make a difference. Not sure on the other three teams - bit of a blur last week – but hoping for some good results!
