The Lloyd Doyley testimonial honoring 10 years with Watford, dubbed LDX, proved disappointing for fans yesterday and not just the result, a 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur.
What was touted as a chance for the Vicarage Road crowd to see the new squad for the first time (all other pre-season friendlies have been away matches, some closed), proved to be the same-old, same-old for the most part with only two new faces on the recently re-laid pitch.
Midfielder Daniel Pudil lasted all of five minutes before pulling up with a hamstring, leaving new keeper Manuel Almunia the only newcomer in the match.
Watford held through the first half, but a Jermain Defoe header proved the only score of the night.
The final pre-season friendly is tomorrow at Gillingham. Kickoff is 1:45. Season starts on Saturday!
