Max Watters

What, does he need a holiday ?.

 

Where on earth did they get all those clips of him scoring goals from? Are they AI-generated or something? I can only remember about two of them!

 

8 goals in 54 appearances. I can't remember them either

The one against Wensdeh is memorable mind.

 

After a disastrous loan spell it's possibly the worst signing the club has ever made to give watters a permanent deal

 

His stats must surely be far superior to Cosgrove's? And at least Watters looked like a footballer most of the time. I don't think I would have looked any more out of place on a professional football field than Cosgrove. And I'm in my 40's, with a penchant for craft ales and cheese.

 

Difference is that Cosgrove was signed on stats and spreadsheet crap alone. We essentially gave watters a 19 match trial and still signed him despite everyone seeing just how bad he was. Just because he was marginally better than Cosgrove isn't exactly a glowing endorsement. It's like putting me in the 4x100m relay for great Britain just because I'm faster than a man with no legs

 

Chris Lumsdon, although that was the other way round. Brilliant on loan, waste of space once signed.

 

Couldn't keep out of the boozers and betting offices.

 

Funnily enough I was thinking of him when I wrote my post. Probably one of our best loan to permanent signings we've ever made in theory and then the biggest disappointment

 

I think the writing was on the wall when Max made his debut. Red card for a headbutt. Daft. Redeemed himself with a goal against Wage Slave Wednesday, but we should've looked elsewhere in the Summer

 

Quite a lot of them are from when he played for Crawley, 4 years ago. A couple in there from when he played for MK Dons too.

 

Ditto Brian McCord.

I've listened to an in-depth interview with Lummy, and he fully admits he pissed his time at Barnsley up the wall, and regrets how he let the fans down. I expected him to come across as a bit of a plank, but he speaks very well and is refreshingly honest.

Great bloke.

He was a radio pundit at Oakwell when we played Carlisle a few years ago. Arranged to do a little interview with him for a future piece. Really honest about his time here. Biggest regret of his life. I regularly saw him and Alex Neil out in town on the ale. I was a student so I had an excuse!

 

Lolz, as the kidz would say.

 

Quote a few are for Crawley I think.

 

Nice to hear someone in the game admitting they were wrong. Good lad

 

Had literally scored mins before it too.

 

I don't think signing Max Watters was a terrible idea though, after the Duff Wembley season.
What were our other options that summer, maybe Slobodan Tedic, whose name was also mentioned.
I think Max had a better loan spell than Tedic, although that's not saying much.
And seeing as he'd been with us on loan, I hoped he would sort of hit the ground running, instead of needing time to settle etc.
But, I admit things haven't worked out well at all, and surely Max himself will admit to some or maybe most of the blame.
