Watters is a striker who’ll be on fire with our manager keeping faith and setting the team up for him. I’m looking forward to seeing more of him this season.

3-0 Wintle
Watters with a brilliant assist!
Note to self: don’t get carried away.
We’re playing very well here mind.
I will be beyond pissed off if Wintle doesn't start vs. Norwich.
Please don't hand a starting place to Ralls automatically.
Lovely stuff
Don't think the opposition are up to much mind, but that's partly because we've made life really difficult for them - we just didn't score goals like that third one last season.Quote:

Bring on Norwich :ayatollah:
Really positive first half. So much more movement and inventiveness than we have been used to.
I expect little this season but if today is an expression of our principles and we stick to them; it'll be a whole lot more enjoyable.
Our kids are winning at half time too :hehe:
I know, it’s just nice to see some creativity. Really enjoyed that 1st-half. Swindon look dire tbf.Quote:

I just couldn't understand this, the lad has scored wherever he's been and has barely had a chance. He had his confidence destroyed that night and the fans piled in on him 'weak mentality' they said. 80% of the big fan accounts on Twitter including The Canton End absolutely slagged him off.Quote:

I, and many others, have said he is a natural striker. This season maybe he will have the chances from a far better midfield.Quote:

Doing it at Championship level is another matter. Lets hope he proves the doubters wrong.
I know what you mean! I usually avoid here like the plague after a loss.Quote:

3-1
He can only score against what's in front of him, the facts are he's barely had a chance with us yet and is still getting slaggedo off.Quote:

About 80% of Cardiff fans on Twitter since January.Quote:

4-2 FT
Sloppy goals to concede. But the progress is there. Bring on Norwich :ayatollah:
Shame about the sloppy defending. Encouraging signs otherwise. We’ve looked far worse against similar standard teams in previous pre-seasons. We’ll know more next week.
But how many minutes has he played? He's never had a sustained run, gets played 30 minutes here and there. Not many players can thrive under those conditions.Quote:

Some people just can not bring themselves to say anything positive or encouraging about City, no matter what. They nit pick their way through pre season, writing us off at every turn and denigrating players right, left and centre, as if they know or could do better. Their glass half full, negative attitude is just so ingrained they cant do anything about it. They take all the enjoyment out of it for themselves and everybody else.
Well we might be about to find out how he does but it’s a massive gamble if it’s him and Harris. Watters has looked miles off the pace when he played in the Champ previously, and he barely got a kick after the Coventry game so Morison didn’t rate him very highlyQuote:

In the games that Watters has started, City have only scored one goal while he's been on the pitch - Jordan Hugill's 6th-minute strike against Forest.
Bloody shocking goal to concede that second one - Morison out!Quote:
