Louie Watson on the bench.

 

Honestly? Never heard of him. I know a little about the academy, here and there, but yeah...never heard of him ?

Best of luck! 

This smells of Watson being the cover player just outside the squad in case they decide Lawrence isn't fit enough on the day and has stepped in.

For me it is yet another reason why we need investment in jan, anyone thinking our squad is good enough to stay up is delusional

He's there to make the numbers up.

Other midfield options on the bench of Bird, Sibley, Evans and Holmes. On the wing we have Ibe, Holmes and Sibley.

To be honest, we should have included eithwr McDonald or te Wierik so we have RB covered. ?‍♂️

Give over, this squad was deemed good enough for the playoffs if not better last year, only major losses to that team are Martin and the two full backs. 

This squad has more than enough ability to stay up, it's up to the players to get the job done. 

It really wasn't. Especially not better than top six ie automatic promotion standard!

There was no creativity from the wings and it was over-reliant on players past their best, unable to keep up with the physical demands of a full schedule (let alone the condensed one) or kids from the academy with the varying performance levels / consistency expected of young players.

At full strength without any injuries the current squad should be good enough to finish anywhere between 8th and 14th, no more.

Or we may have had an acceptable offer for Lawrence and we intend to sell - it’s that time of the year and all that

Please say it’s true. Scores some great goals but his good game/poor game return ratio is going in the wrong direction.

it wasnt good enough for the playoffs last year and we massively overachieved after the rooney bounce in my opinion.

a few results doesnt change the fact this season has been dreadful, the term you are only as good as your last game is valid. we do not have enough quality and time will expose this.
