    If the club can't get Isgrove back and the club get another striker in who would you like to see wide right?

    Kent and trickery or Watkins and work rate and pace?

    Honestly like to see what people think.

    What do you mean 'the club get another striker in'?

    We've got loads of them already haven't we?

    In for another at least. Already looking even before the injury of Winnall today according to PH.

    They'll keep a space open until WHU say no about Fletcher but think they could look at another too.

    Watkins without a shadow of a doubt. Not just because he is my favourite and most under rated player but it's a joke he wasn't starting today. In this league you need people like Marley with his unselfish running for his striker partner and the fact he never gives any defender any peace. He should be up front with Sam and should have been today, they work so well together.

    It's pivotal that you have someone strong enough to hold the ball up after sustained amounts of pressure and he can do that.

    Watkins all day long. I felt sorry for him that Kent got picked before him to be honest.

    Agree 100% with Lewis. Watkins was very good indeed today, whereas Kent offered little and looked out overawed - hence being subbed.

    Don't forget Watkins has Kent and his 75% of appearances to compete with .

    With Winnall out, Watkins is our best forward player, a fact proven yesterday. And he's much, much more than 'work rate and pace', again proven yesterday.

    I'm not going to criticise anyone on the basis of one game so if Hecky thought Kent was good enough to start yesterday he's got to be good enough to start on Tuesday.

    Same team as bossed Ipswich's twelve men for 40 minutes to start for me on Tuesday.

    Watkins will play up top now Sam is injured, thought it was harsh on Marley that Kent was picked ahead of him to start.

    Thought this was rumour and not fact. Hope it's not true, us being dictated to by a Premier team.

    Can't be good for the morale of either Kent knowing he's being chosen but not on merit, nor players being left out because of the clause no matter how well they perform.

    This would be a foolish clause to accept if true.

    Watkins for me. I rate him highly and believe we're better with him in the team.

    To be fair you prejudge people based on the colour of their skin, their country of birth or their religion so i'm hardly surprised that you judge and write off a player after an hour and 13 minutes

    It's interesting the way it gets reported that if he doesn't play 75% of games we get fined or charged. An alternative way of reporting it is that we are being charged x amount for loaning him but after he has played a certain number of games that fee gets reduced.

    In a way is it any different to the opposite scenario when teams buy players with additional fees to pay if the player plays x amount of games?

    1. Liverpool buy a player and must pay an additional fee if the player plays x amount of times
    2. Liverpool loan a player out and must pay a fee if the player plays x amount of times.

    I'm not saying that I agree with the system or anything, just that it can appear very differently depending on how it is reported and how the club budgets.
