DRAFT: An International Watford 6-a-side | The Warm Up
From The Rookery End - A show about Watford FCShow Notes
With no midweek Watford game, we're bringing back an FTRE favourite — the Watford Draft!
Jon takes the host's chair as Jason, Sam, Jordi and Adam go head-to-head to build the ultimate international Watford six-a-side team.
Here's how it works: Each round, we reveal a country, and our four managers take turns selecting a former Watford player born there. Once a player has been picked, they're off the board! The picking order reverses each round to keep things fair, and everyone has to think carefully about positions, tactics and how their team will fit together.
From Spain and Brazil to Italy, France and a few surprises along the way, there are some wonderful Watford names to choose from — but not everyone will get their first choice.
Expect tactical masterplans, questionable selections, old favourites and plenty of frustration as the squads take shape.
Four managers. Four teams. But who has drafted the best six-a-side Watford team?
Listen along, pick your own side and tell us who you'd back to win the tournament! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
