Tommy Watson

I personally don’t think he’s deliberately not trying. I agree he’s been rubbish since he came back and inevitably now he everything he does is monitored like fbi surveillance. He might be struggling to get Upto speed and lacking confidence which isn’t surprising given the stick he is getting.

That being said perception is everything and the fact the deal was announced in the way it was hasn’t been good for anyone really.

Watch him score the winner at the playoff finally at Wembley 😂😂

Don’t think that is going to happen, but he is just a kid who has been badly advised I think.

I don’t think he should be on the pitch personally, but is so we should raise above any reaction.

Blame head coach for picking him, blame is advisors for jumping ship before he has earned any spurs.

He’s just a kid, I don’t if he is a good kid or a bad kid but whilst he’s playing for us I will just roll with it.

He’s not exactly Darren Bent

He's always bottled tackles all I'm saying is he was pretty average in a lot of games bar 2 before his injury, do you think bris will use him tomorrow

Aye I think he will. Enzo needs minutes in the middle and Rigg and or Neil need to have a rest. Rigg especially.

Personally I’d use Aleksic. There’s no way he can be worse than Watson and at least we’re using someone who is ours for the future.

I’m sure Le Bris will be aware of the feeling amongst the fans towards Watson.
If the fans are correct that the issue isn’t just rustiness/poor form and is at least in part related to effort, Le Bris and the rest of the team will know this. He will be at most on the bench in that case.

Watson and his 2 good games and reminds me of Thomas Butler, who turned it on (for 2 games) at the end of the 2001/2 season, before reverting to being shite.

Be wary of players called Tom, Tommy, Thomas ….. 😜

Thomas Helmer , Tommy Gibb, Tommy Lynch, Thomas Hauser, Tommy Smith, Tommy Miller, Tom Flanagan …….. I think you may be onto something 😜

Maybe they want him to sufffer and won’t let him dictate. Otherwise I think they have to be aware, and it would just breed negativity .
Iam more concerned with deflecting attention and not giving the team belief as a fan base

It might just be me but I felt against Swansea that people were starting to become more frustrated than usual

He’ll get stick tomorrow undoubtedly.

I suspect he’ll be on the bench but even if he’s sent to warm up he’ll get grief.

Unless we literally run out of bodies to make up the squad I think the best course of action is just leaving him out from here on in.

Even if we are short, we are pretty much finishing 4th, id rather give one of the younger lads a decent taste of the first team who might get chances next season even if they're not quite ready, at least they're going to be hungry and put a shift in.

I m very much in the fuck him camp and have been since he was sold. He’s an 18 year old boy though but for a Sunderland lad his lack of effort wasn’t acceptable. As a fan base we’ve seen some utter shit players over the years who have been fully supported as they’ve put effort in. Club need to just take him out the firing line. He’s not exactly been great bar a couple of games. I just don’t get the point of the lad now. Good luck to him but close the door on your way out. 10 million is class for what we’ve actually seen of him.
