Obviously I don't know what he's like in training, and Watters has scored a couple of big goals for us, but perhaps it's time to give Shaw a run out before the playoffs?
I’ve never seen much in Watters. I know he’s scored one or two but he just looks laboured when he’s on the field and at least a level below his teammates
His first touch has been extremely poor, something he needs to improve on drastically especially if he wants to play at a higher level than league one - still, he hasn't had a proper long run of games so don't want to sound harsh. He's performed well in this league before. I reckon that ban has had a big impact on his loan for us
I thought first 40 minutes he struggled. Devante too. Goals were good finishes though. Norwood has to start against Ipswich so surely Tedic up top with him after his brace today? Also agree on Watters. Poor today and behind Tedic in the pecking order for me now.
Think he could be an unexpected bonus for the play offs. Looks really good now. Watters looks poor in comparison….
I worry about Norwood's temperament in the pressure games, he gets too involved in the silly stuff, ex Ipswich, both their players and fans will be at him. Still, I'd be tempted to start him, but he's potentially subbed, earlier than usual, at half time after his inevitable yellow.
My opinion...Watters not good enough Tedic a reasonably good sub. Nors and Devante 100% should be our starters. would like to see what shaw has to offer rather than watters.
Norwood's been fantastic for us and I'd fully back him to start, strikers playing well is a great problem for Duff to have though.
Me too. I'd even go as far to suggest Kitching is more likely to lose him temper/do something daft now over Norwood. I think he's really smartened up since start of the new year, since his overall game has improved & he's at full fitness. I don't doubt he will get a yellow but I'd be confident he doesn't lose his rag and gets sent off (So this doesn't include being sent off in case of a bad tackle)
Watters seems to spend loads of time berating others for his own mistakes. The obvious one today was the overhit pass to Norwood that he should have played earlier anyway.
Kitching has calmed that side of his game right down too though. He’s been a revelation this year. Had you told me at the start of this season that the season would end with Kitching as one of my favourite players I would have told you to go and have a lie down, but it’s impossible to dislike him now he’s channelled the aggression to his feet and away from his fists, elbows and head.
Definitely true, but if I had to put my money on one of them, it'd be Kitching at the minute Tell you what though, if you were in a scrap, he'd be right there with you
