Watson back in training

But Watson is better than Poveda and was playing better than Roberts before he was injured.

He's going to have to consider playing them both. Either way, it's good we have options from the bench. It's a shame we've lost Le Fee to injury.

It's not that simple if it's a position he's never really played I just don't think it will happen

I'm sure both Mundle and Watson are more than capable of playing on the right wing considering they're right footed. It would simply change our dynamic, where normally they would cut in on their stronger foot giving them options to shoot, pass or create space for the full back, they'd be more likely to hit the byline or come in side and play someone else in.

Roberts rarely shoots or hits the target anyhow, so I don't think it would be such a big problem.

Starting with Mundle and bringing on Watson to replace him when the opposition are tired sounds like and excellent option to me. We need to use substitutes more.

This too is a good option.

Roberts and Poveda are available and Mayenda so he won't although Watson played against Preston there he wasn't great and he never really played there at younger levels

Everyone in the team was terrible at Preston. Roberts and Poveda are 2 cheeks of the same arse, lots of nice touches with little end product.

Poveda has barely played Roberts I agree, so would you play a rookie Watson in a position he's literally played once I wouldn't and don't think we will

0 goals/assists for us.
0 goals/1 assist in 23/24.
2 goals/1 assist in 22/23, 24 appearances.

Absolutely nothing he’s done suggests he’s going to start producing anything.
 
Watson at the backend of his games in the U23s played centrally in a number 10 role. Really think we need that quickness and ball carrier to get us running at the opposition defences.

I don't think our wing play is an issue, it is what we are doing centrally at the moment.
