Just watched the highlights and looked like one way traffic but don’t know how selective it was. Encouraging stuff, should have been put to bed with a higher scoreline on that viewing.
I agree, however, and I suspect that this is true for many of us who have suffered watching Cardiff City over the years, it doesn’t take long to spot a player who is not up to it. I’m no football manager (other than kids football!) but for example, I could tell after 5 minutes of watching Gary Madine, or Richard Langley that they simply weren’t good enough, and then I spent the rest of their time at Cardiff City praying and actually expecting them to do something good! I could provide countless more examples done the years, rather sadly.
And then I think: ‘What did people who know far more about football than me, see in them?!’
At the moment Watters and Harris fall into that category as did James Collins (not the Ginger Monster)
I really, really hope that I’m wrong on this one.
I’d move on Watters and Harris and I think Etete who even Morison described as a project and imo will be on the very fringes of the squad. Other than Etete we had all those players last season and Morison still brought in two strikers. I think it’s needed. Probably won’t happen mind.
Total football
Nicely done, #Bluebirds! #CityAsOne

I'm pretty sure the likes of Barking, Ashford Utd, Mickleover Sports and Grantham Town are semi-professional at best.
Watters has started 26 Football League matches and made sub appearances in a further 19.
He's now started nine Championship games for Cardiff City. He's been taken off in every one of them and the latest he's been subbed in any of those games is 66 minutes. He's been taken off on 55 mins, 57 mins, 56 mins, 37 mins, 66 mins, 63 mins, 60 mins, 52 mins and 45 mins.
Watched the itv highlights programme earlier and can't believe the pundit, Jaime Mackie thought they had a better penalty shout than us
We were celebrating Etete’s goal in the Grandstand, up on our feet, arms in the air waiting for the net to ripple. Seemed impossible that he would miss......how wrong we were, I’m still trying to fathom out how he did miss.
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.
Most Norwich fans in this thread would like to offload Hugill

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!
