Not only he goes with the team he is starting the match :naughty: THE TEAMS: WEALDSTONE v WATFORD Sat 18 Jul 2009 WATFORD line up this afternoon (Saturday) ahead of their second pre-season fixture of the 2009/10 campaign at Wealdstone FC. Mackay includes new signing Jure Travner in the line-up following the penning of the Slovenians' contract this morning. Richard Lee starts in goal, in front of a strong back four including newcomer Travner alongside Lloyd Doyley, Adrian Mariappa and Mike Williamson. Trialist Claudio Beauvue joins Scott Severin, John Eustace and Jon Harley in midfield. Stirker Danny Graham, who scored two goals for the Hornets last Saturday partners Tamas Priskin in attack. Don Cowie misses out due to illness. For Wealdstone, former Watford scholars Marvin McCoy and Kieran Forbes feature. WEALDSTONE: Woods (gk); McCoy, Jones, Gray, Massey, Quaye, Forbes, O'Leary, Alexander, Ngoyi, Spendlove. Subs: Thomas (gk), Ashe, Locke, Osbourne, Lafeite, During, Lewis. WATFORD: Lee; Doyley, Mariappa, Williamson, Travner; Beauvue (trialist),Severin, Eustace, Harley; Priskin, Graham. Subs: Irving (gk); Kiernan, Hodson, Henderson, Brooks, Bryan, Ellington, Oshodi, Sordell. REFEREE: Mr Linden Anyone will see the game? Please report back how they played. Any chance this game could be on some web channel?
Order of the back 4 is confusing. I think it's this: Mariapa M.Willo Travner Doyley Malky will faouvr Lloyd at left-back as he actually was the first manager to play him there
Absolutely no chance I'm afraid Bizi. In fact you won't be able to catch any Watford games anywhere on the web unless they're being shown on tv over here by Sky. And we only have one of those before November I think.
That's too bad. Maybe Slovenian TV channel that holds the rights for broadcasting EPL games in Slovenia will arrange some games as now both Koren and Travner will be playing in Championship.
So the total summer signings now rises to 3. None of them are the sort to get your juices flowing, but if they are good enough to do a job, they all look like value. All I want to see now is that Priskin is staying and that another attacker will be signed if Smith goes and then I think we will be well placed to start next season. If Muff goes, expect numerous posts from me about crown jewels and the promised never selling of them.
Agreed cheers bizi Your wfc forum name on the back of your shirt i spotted today, maybe it will start becoming a trend?
I would donate you some orns but i dont have many! Thanks again for your info, i was reluctant to believe you at first but after reading a few of our posts it didnt sound like the usually crap you get on here when people claim a certain transfer is going to happen.
Should have said something, that was me. It is my surname by the way. I hope you didn't see me spectacularly **** up trying to get out of the car park (field)? Careful! He was useful on the pitch, bar one hilarious occasion where he did a stepover and drag but forgot to take the ball, then fell over trying to turn back for it.
:]] Nah it wasnt then, it was about the start of the second half and then your mate headed the ball back onto the pitch
Hahahahahaha, yess.. he's a ****, funny though! Don't suppose you were close enough to catch my thick as **** nephews 'Malteser' comment?
Hi Bizi, can you get Sky Sports News in your country? If you can, you might just see some very short clips of some Watford games on that? If you can't? then I'd imagine that one of our computer whiz kids could put any such clips on u tube for you to see if you were to ask them?
Any chance they'll show the goals from the game on Sky Sports News like they did for last week's game against Borehamwood?
Hi folks! Like that "bizi" guy I'm also from Slovenia. I am neither relative of Travner nor involved in any kind of sports business... just a sports fan, spending a lot of time (too much actually) on and near the football pitch. As soon as I heard for Travner to join your club, I instantly checked your WFC website and forum for any kind of reactions. It would be interesting to get the information about the transfer fee, as our club (NK Celje) was near bankrupcy. In recent months, our club has regularly breaking the contractual obligations towards the players (because the lack of funds). I guess Travner could cancel the contract and signed for Watford FC for free. But anyway... »Bizi« already gave you some informations about this fella. I would just like to add something more, that was not mentioned before. Travner is pretty good left footer with decent technique and high determination. You won't see him acting lame (or looking lazy) on the football pitch. He always tries to put his best on the field. He's undoubtedly the most constant performer of our team in the last couple of seasons. Normally playing LB, familiar with LW, but showing some fantastic performances in DC! Even though he lacks height (aprox 180 cm), he has pretty good headers. His strengths are also agility and consistency. His main weakness could be the fact, that he adopted the slovenian slower tempo of the game. I think he is able to think fast on the pitch, but need some time to get use to the english way of playing. I think he could be a good signing, just give him time to get use to the new area and to develope his game. Cheers! :sign15:
Should be a good buy considering sadler is ****, Parkes in on trial at gillingham and is probably going to stay there and could be a back up for doyley incase he is injured or plays right back.
Malky Mackay on Jure Travner (source: BBC) "He looks as if he can play in the Championship, and that's what I wanted. It will take time just to bed him into English football. "He has got to be careful with some of those tackles but his attitude and application have been excellent."
Rewind to Ray Lewington signing Ja Demerit from Northwood Town. :sign15: Hopefully there isn't some obscure Slovenian feasting ceremony that will affect his on pitch performances.
We have the so called beer and flowers festival (mostly beer though). (http://www.finance.si/galerije/328/1/) It was just over so hes good till next year arty1:
From reading this morning's article in the Wobby it would seem Travner has been brought in as Lloydinho's understudy. So he'll get time to adjust... at least from Malky, as I'm sure the canuting canut Watford fans won't be as patient. I hope he'll adjust quicker than Priskin did.
I just wonder if Malky might be thinking of him primarily as a CB? Especially if Jay and Willo2 leave as rumoured!!!! Default Quote: Originally Posted by Stebrinho View Post Hi folks!

Quote from Malky interview on the OS. "He speaks perfect English and since he has been here he has been excellent in terms of his attitude and his application." Hopefully this should help him settle in more quickly. I think he could may well be a fairly decent signing.
