And yet….lots of people on Twitter seem to actually think that Watters had his best game for the club on Saturday (from a low bar admittedly).

Quite how Morison saw enough from Watters to describe his performance as ‘unbelievable’ is utterly beyond me.

The Twitter lot can be an interesting bunch, will jump on any criticism of Watters but more than happy to continually slag off Mark Harris, a player who usually puts in a better performance than Watters does

The Sky Commentators thought Watters made some excellent runs and was unfortunate not to score.

From the Ninian Stand I thought he was hopeless. But although my first game watching City was in 1961 I know very little about managing a team because football is not my business.

I said before the season started we would have to be patient. It now seems we have to be patient with just one player. That's not really so bad, is it?

If Morison still thinks Watters has something, then I would go with his view.

I expect Nelson to start against 2 points in 3 games West Brom on Wednesday as well.

As it stands, I'd definitely take Hugill over what we've got.

Most Norwich fans in this thread would like to offload Hugill

Watters had the ball at his feet with plenty of time and he ****ed it up. Etete headed off target from a cross, albeit a perfectly weighted one. Watters miss was far worse in my opinion.

the xG that I've seen would tend to agree with you.

We are all being patient with Watters but that doesn’t mean that we can’t say that we thought that he was really poor on Sat.

As for ‘unbelievable’ though 🤦*♂️🙄

Are you serious? Do you actually watch games or just look at bizarre opinion-based stats sites afterwards?

I don’t want to go on about this but someone just Tweeted this:

‘I thought Watters was great with his work rate, showing for the ball the feet, holding it up etc. But yeah did miss a couple of chances. If he scores one I have no doubt everyone’s talking about what a complete centre forwards performance it was’

I must have been watching a different game. He was taken off in the 61st minute!

Yes, they did.

Steve M was quick to point this out too upon the 1st sign of journo probing.

BTW, I was laughing at Hilts reply. I lolled.
