Ive said on a few occasions on this thread that I think he will do very well in this league and make a big contribution to the promotion campaign if he stays fit. I think he could be competent and effective in the league above. But, I dont think he will ever be a good top flight player.

Seems a decent lad, he never gives less than 100% for the shirt and its always nice to see a player return from serious injury. Cant ask more from an individual than that.

I think he was doing really well before the injuries

as bad as Moyes was

We had PVA and Anichebe down the left, Defoe upfront and Watmore on the right, I think we could have stayed up

Think people are being a bit unfair on him, he was just starting to establish himself
 
Not saying he hasn't but under Big Sam he was showing he could do it at Premiership level , so to say he is never going to make it is rubbish .

how many appearances do ya reckon Watmore made under Allardyce between January and the Everton match? Without looking, I reckon four from the bench and one start (if that)
 
Its not rubbish marra its an opinion.

As I said in my response ,poster entitled to opinion ,that opinion being rubbish .:D

Can't remember or bothered to look it up but sure it was more .
All I know is he was a great outlet for the ball out of defence taking pressure off said defence and creating space for Defoe .

Absolutely this. Thought it was just me that thought we actually looked half decent with those 3 in the final third and were picking up points. Pity it got cut short with Watmores injury, against Leicester I believe.

We had a couple of wins against Watford and Leicester that were routine, the Hull game at home was one of the most enjoyable, relaxing wins we'd had in the league for a while

We looked a real threat and were in good form.

Watmore and Anichebe got injured, we sold PVA and replaced him with Oviedo.

And that was the end of that.

Remember winning at Bournemouth with them 3 up front.

My recollection is similar but different. Moyes stumbled on a tactic of having Pickford launch it to Anichebe, him hold it up with Defoe and Van Aanholt supporting and scoring. That formula worked for about three games until Pickford (who kept us in it at Bournemouth with outstanding saves) got injured and Anichebe got injured. The winning formula was then defunct (I actually only remember us playing well against Leicester anyway - the others were quite fortuitous).
 
I thought, for a first competitive match after such a long injury, he did astonishingly well. To be honest, getting through the game unscathed constituted a tick in the rehabilitation box. That he caused the oppo problems to the extent he did was highly satisfactory.

You are not allowed to say anything positive about Watmore mate
Don't you know he's a dog with a balloon who's found his level in League 1 and will never make it in the Premiership. :D:D
 
Absolutely no doubt hes good enough for league 1. I think he could be competent in the league above. I dont think he'll ever be good enough to be a decent top flight player
He caused good defenders trouble in the PL. He's played in the PL and didn't look out of place.
When he played for England U21s, didn't he win some sort of star player award, or some such, in the Toulon thingummy?
He might well, providing he stays fit, be a lot more than a competent Championship player.

Hull? Wasn't at all, neither was Watford, think you are remembering incorrectly
 
He's never going to be the most pleasing player on the eye as his touch has always looked a bit scruffy but he could be a big asset to us coming off the bench for the second half of the season.
He'll be the last thing big clogger centre halves will want to see when they're tiring.
 
you know more than every manager and scout in the championship? james vaughan scored in this league and while maja might be better tna him he mjight not be..vaughan was a precocious teenager as well and now look at him..

Maja has far more talent then Vaughan ever had. Only 19 and will improve year on year and especially when he playing regularly for us. Watmore has shown enough when he is fit to show he will be a real threat for us in this league and hopefully when we get promoted
