It says we lost Watson in last weeks match , is that when it all went belly up for us as we were drawing 22 all at one point ?

No - Watson was back on after half time - he was off for a period in the first half.

took a knock in the face

Just thought we might have been rudderless again thats all although a bang in the face ...... he might not have been firing on all cillinders, i'm just grasping really on why we lost

It was out wide we were caught out

After reading the write up of the match i'm not surprised really we lost as it was a patched up side, i'm not looking for excuses just reasons as i try to see positives from matches .

And Chris Hill came off the bench to replace Watson....





Think Watson looked a lot better for Hemingway taking some of the pressure off him though. Fine try as well.

i will wager now that watson wont play under millward .....as well as a few others ...just heard him on boots and all ...wait till he watches some of the video nasties....
He sounds well up for it though!!!
C`mon ian millwards red and white army!!!!!!!!!!

Need a replacement though. Considering that, up until Hemingway playing on Sunday, Watson is involved several times in every single set of six so far this season, I don't think he does too bad for an owd un.

I,m not a fan of Watson but this season he has been outstanding
and so far as walked the player of the season award every match ive seen him play Ian as showed 100% commitment and tried his best to get the team moving but a high percentage of the team are clueless how
to play the game which is why we find ourselves in dire straits
that said i,m sure with I Millward on the way the lads in the team will now start to show some mettle and get stuck in and try and impress the man
hopefully getting us out of the mess they,ve got us in !!!!!!

Heard you had durbin at full back is that true?

if it is no wonder u got caught out

Needs must. He was either going to be at full back or on the wing, given the injuries picked up during the game.

True....Durbin moved to FB after Mort went off injured.

anyone above 6ft with an up and under has immediate advantage over durbin... thats careless management imo

Watson does a hell of alot of tackling and i'm sure there are others he could get rid of before him ,could get another season out of him WITH A DAMN GOOD 6

Thought he did ok for an elf.

Mort was on the wing - it was after Alstead went off.

I stand corrected....... think were starting to turn the corner TBH - if it wasn't for some dubious decisions from the ref I think we would have won at Haven.

We weren't good enough to turn a potentially winning position in to points when at 22-22, nowhere near enough cutting edge. The poor defence comes as expected these days. Lot of hard work still to be done before Sir Ian arrives.

If Millward does watch some of these video nasties, he'll soon realise Watson's ability and the cr@p he's playing with! I don't know if Millward has players in mind but, Watson is one of the few that will perform week in and week out.

i disagree ....speak to a lot of parents of players at reserve games and watson?rowley command that all plays go through him ...thus the other halfs that start cant or wont play their own game???
not my words but young players parents....and i know differant in reserves but all halfs there just play and take command....again just my opinion????

The thing is its been proven that if he leaves the field the team go to pot now whether its as you say all play must go through him and so when he does go off then theres no-one to take the reigns so to speak,now with a good 6 this could /would take your pick,change things .

We won't have the debate next season anyway, Watson is retiring after our last game.

Do you know this for sure? if thats right then a good 6 and 7 needed and reading Millwards coments he has already had a few names thrown at him from players agents ,well thats how i read it .

The club are appealing against the Joe Williams decision which will see him at the club next season and the Coyle brothers are joining.
