Marley Watkins

Don't get me wrong his chipped in with a few goals and assists, but I don't really know where he should play I think his a very average winger I missed the game he played up front so don't no how he was then. May/probably get slated for this but for me his overachieving at the min as I think his fairly average. He does have one great asset though he never stops trying which you carnt knock. Thought today he was our weakest player.

 

I really like him from what I've seen, but my brother, who was at the game, said pretty much exactly the same as you.

 

Very Poor Today

 

I like Marley and he's been one of our best players this season, in my opinion.

But today he was poor. He couldn't find a Barnsley player in the final third of the pitch today.

 

I saw his disappointment when crowley played a bad pass to him late on he's got passion, put him up front when we want to press on and put Wabara right wing, Bree full back, he's got the beating of a man a cool head and doesn't seem to panic.

 

I like him but it's a new standard for him he will have good and bad days. Today was a bad day.

 

When ever I see him am not sure what kind of player he is. For me I'd send rothwell and wilkinson back and get o'sullivan back as he's meant to be available again. Watkins has great work rate but for me he's not a good winger. With the way our team line up I think we need another winger similar to Harris on the opposite side.

 

Not great today, but shows promise.

 

This is not difficult - he should play in the Outer Hebrides.

That said, Leejay has stuck by him with a fervour so far, so unless we think Lee is lacking (which I don't, personally) then we must have patience, and assume that at some point this season he will become our MPV.

 

My favourite player and gives his all every game

 

I love him but today was poor. Will improve

 

Consider yourself slated ...

 

Not knocking him but today he was totally played out of game by their young back called Euin. Just never got in game. His crosses etc were missed.

 

He's had a decent season so far, worst game today, was poor.

 

I'm just not a fan of his he's done well with assists and a few goals but am just not a fan. I think because he works hard people think he's better than he actually is.

 

He is glaringly inconsistent, for whatever reason.

When he plays well he is one of our best players. But it would be nice if we all knew when he'd be better resting.

 

In some ways he reminds me of Brendan O'C.

 

He has been involved in most of our goals and works hard both ends on that flank. Yesterday he was poor, while getting in good positions his final ball was very poor. However so was Harris, got past his defender every time first half and did nothing with it. Second half rarely beat his man, however partly due to Donnie changing it late on.

Watkins has been great so far we can allow him an off day.

The problem is given our experience anyone having an off day affects the whole performance. When everyone's on it we win and look good. Not enough experience and strength to make up for underperformance from individuals.

 

The problem is he can't score when he practically has an open net. He missed a sitter yesterday and it certainly wasn't the first time that has happened

 

I like him and wouldn't be ever thinking of dropping the only guy other than Hourihane that chips in with goals/assists regularly from midfield until the likes of Scowen, Harris and Crowley start helping out more.
