Ran about a bit, but no goal.

1 in 13 for this season now.

Need to look for a replacement in January, maybe even two. We can't go the whole season with this striker as our only option and expect to achieve anything.
It was weird mate, as its by far the best performance of the season where not one player really had a poor game. Everyone knows your opinion on this as you’ve posted it multiple times, but you just can’t wait to post again and again. I honestly think everyone gets that you don’t rate Watkins, and its fine you don’t rate him. However, posting the same stuff all the time, means this thread is now nothing more than Smirker vrs the world. Its a bit dull to be honest.

Watkins was brilliant yesterday. Gave Stones and Diaz lots of bother, so much so former was taken off. Created space for Rogers McGinn Bunedia and Sancho.

You mean his game, and the job the manager wants him to do, isn't just about sticking it in the net? It'll never catch on.

Except it isn’t.  I repeat what I said the other day.

He’s totally out of form but working his bollocks off for the team. He was 100% better tonight than he was on Thursday. However he didn’t score again which is becoming a bit of a worry. There really is nothing more to it than that.

He just seemed to let the ball run across him a couple of times when he was in on goal and it just ran away from him.

No confidence at all in front of goal. That effort at a header was dire. Led the line well though. Touch was good too.

Yep, he still offers a lot even when he's not scoring. 

This is where I disagree, he did yesterday but there have been too many games where he gives up the ball far too easily and causes us no end of problems.
