THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Got pulled off before half time last night.

He's seemingly gone from the hard working goal scorer that we saw here to a lazy striker that the manager has to come out and slate in his post match interview.

2 years left on his contract, and I'm fully expecting us to be in for him in the summer as we were with Healey.

They’ll at least want their money back, we won’t be getting Watters

It really depends how the management feel about him. If last night is the breaking point for Max and I wouldn’t blame him if it was, both parties might simply just be happy to cut their losses.

We’ve also paid fortunes to release strikers out of their contracts before (Hello Osman Sow) and I’d be happy to do the exact same again with a striker we actually know the quality of.

I think the concern from me would be if we are promoted, he hasn't shown Championship form yet so committing a significant sum to an unproven striker would be a risk especially with Eisa on the books who is also unproven at that level. If we don't go up a deal can be done no problem.

Also his wages must be huge compared to the rest of the squad

He was signed on the back of half a good season in the EFL… I don’t think they’d be drastic.

Anyone watch? Was he that bad?

Hardly a ringing endorsement:

"I will pick my words correctly this time or I will get annihilated," Morison said about taking off Watters. "It was a tactical change. He just wasn't good enough."

"Does he need to realise what it takes to be a Championship striker? Yes. Will we go through it with him and talk about it again? Yes.

"You can't play up front in this team, any team in the Championship, and not have a physical edge to your game. The ball can't keep coming back."

Though he was not pleased with Watters' all-round display, Morison admitted the former Crawley player could have got on the scoresheet.

"Within all that we have said, he could have had two goals. He could have scored a header in the first minute, I thought it was a goal as soon as it went to him," Morison added.

"Then when he goes through, I'd already planned to take him off, but then I was like 'Oh what am I going to do now, he is going to score!' Because he is a goalscorer.

"But I think you could see the difference as soon as Jordan came on."

Morison added that he was not upset with Watters opting to stay motionless on the bench throughout the half-time interval.

"It's half-time, I've got bigger problems," he said. "We've got to deal with what's going on. It's not a big deal, it is what it is.

"You have two choices in life. You either suck it up, get on with it and get better and make me not do it again, or you don't. It's very simple."

Is that in someone’s job description? Do we have someone who does that for our players?
