Good prospect. Has got pace and can go past players in league 2 anyway. Think he would benefit from another year at City, but one to monitor. Have seen him play about 20 times , big improvement this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subman Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 How do we know we scouted Exeter on Thurs? Regarding Watkins, he has talent and works hard but not sure he's ready for the Championship yet. He doesn't seem to have found his 'best' position yet. He played up front on Thursday.

Don't worry about that - we're used to fielding players when we don't know what their 'best' position is. We seem to do it every season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
