All quiet on the B&W&RAO front

This evening we play the first leg of our UEFA Cup second qualifying round match against FC Ventspils of Latvia. Damien Duff is in line for his full debut, but Roeder's starting eleven is anyone's guess. I suspect five across midfield and Shola Ameobi alone up front, though, so Charles N'Zogbia can be accommodated too.

Unfortunately, both myself and Paul are off on holiday from today and neither of us is likely to be able to get to internet access before Monday at the latest - so you'll just have to wait for the report I'm afraid. Let's just hope all goes well in Riga - four days is a long time to have the report for a nightmare match festering in your mind...
