I'd honestly like to know what it was that people thought Watters did well on Saturday. Everyone around me seemed to think he should be taken off at half-time. Nobody was signing his praises. On the contrary, people were bemoaning the fact that City could have been three or four goals in front if they had a striker on the pitch worthy of the description.

I'd love to see Watters playing well and scoring goals, but he looks well off the pace to me. What am I missing?
I'd agree with you there but he can't do much about his face! I think that's his default expression.

To be brutally honest. I have no idea why I like the lad and feel protective. It makes no sense. I just do. I've got some humorous stuff going with Bobby D about him and I can't really argue with any of his critics. It might have something to do with him being hooked before half time. I was sat very close to him that day he didn't go in at half time and I never want to experience that again. Call me soppy if you like but I really felt for the lad and put myself in that situation and it made me feel sick.

So there you go. Nothing rational. All emotional. That's why it doesn't make any sense when it's cold-bloodily analysed. It just comes down to feelings.
