Watmore

[rubberfacejnr]

I hope he stays, seeing the highlights he looked our most creative players. His attitude and character has never been in question, I really hope he stays and finally puts his injuries behind him.

..finally, someone talking sense about Watmore.

 

[Tin Soldier]

I like Duncan, I hope he sticks in and does well.

I think we all do because without any pace we might as well not bother playing Wyke of Grigg because they certainly aren't going to come for the ball

 

[Mally Mackem]

best player we have atm.. was wrote off before the season kicked off.. funny old game eh..

 

[Seaham Towny]

Has pace - after two serious knee injuries.

If he didn’t he wouldn’t be with us regardless of his touch, passing or owt else.

He is a serious asset next season

what is worrying is ross has his whole game plan around him.. if hes injured we are proper fcked..

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

Anyone said 'pacey' yet?

 

[Mally Mackem]

has anyone apart from him even had a shot on goal apart from him in these two portugal games.. the streams havent been great..

 

[samwise]

always said i would love to see duncan do well here, his main problem has always been his final ball, hopefully him and ross have worked on that as if he sorts that part of his game out he will be a massive asset to the club this season.

For how much longer are we going to be saying this about a lad who has never lived up to the hype from some of you. In juries or not he looks like a modern day Alan Brown - for those that remember our former player. I have sene nothing so far from Watmore that tells me he can be effective in this division, never mind a higher one.

If only attitude and character won you games.

Although he is pacey his decision making/final ball leaves a lot to be desired

That’s putting it mildly , he got in some superb positions yesterday but his final ball and decision making was very poor indeed.

It might help mcgeady mind

 

[fyl2u]

His 4 goals in 54 league games suggests to me he has never been and never will be a "proper striker".

Cue Watmore apologists

How many of those matches was he played as a striker rather than a winger?

 

[Smartin]

Lad simply doesn’t have the endurance to be a professional footballer.

Personally, I don't care. Grigg and Wyke have few decision to make as they're rarely on the ball. They show little movement as well.

Watmore on the otherhand makes things happen, yes sometimes the moves break down but at least he creates chances, often out of nothing and if he's not having a go, he's stretching the play and winning corners/free kicks. He looks far more value than the legion of doom.

Can't argue with the stats though. Signed in 2013 and he's played 54 games for us. Luke O'Nien played 47 last season.

Roy Keane said it in his book. He had a knee injury but the physio wouldn’t rush him back. He said another lad at another club was progressing faster and was nearly ready to play (can’t remember the other lad he said) but turns out the other lad ended up with a lifetime of repeat injuries and had to retire. They held Keane back and it was the right decision
