He's not the only one turning it over, at least he's one of the only ones who look interested at the moment.

You can add Stanton to your list as well. Very sad for this young man. He looks half the footballer he was 2 years ago. Shocking decision making, poor skills and terrible accountability

Stanton, Monfries, Dyson, Welsh, Houli, and Winderlich have all been way worse than Watson.

agree, the saddst thing is that this implies that 7 of our 22 have been absolutely f****** useless.

That last effort by him was deplorable. I'm livid with him and many others for these half arse tackling attempts.

how easy is it to avoid someone wearing a red & black jumper! I thought this was an area we had improved on - but we are as useless as statues when it comes to stopping an opponent.

I'm livid at the fact he can't hit a f****** target to save himself. NO wonder he's handball happy. Oh well he's not alone.

That's certainly true. We missed more targets today than the Hillbilly darts team.

Although Jobe hasn't been hitting targets as well as he did towards the end of last year, I think he's been a bit of a scapegoat.

When he gets the ball out of a pack he need support around so that he can dish it off. Didn't have much of that today, or for the last few weeks. We had plenty of passengers out there today. A few who play well for a quarter and go missing for the other three.

As already mentioned, our disposal in general was horrible.

Jobe had many brothers in arms today who disposed of the pill terribly. Stanton, Slattery, Houli, Lovett, Welsh all murdered the bloody thing. It was the most inept performance from our smaller players as a whole since somewhere in 2006, i reckon.

Although his disposal can let him down, Jobe's effort in getting the ball can't be faulted. If the outside players don't work hard enough to make position, it makes it hard for Jobe to hit the target. This was the case on numerous occasions this afternoon.

Stanton and Watson seem to always get a belting on here, yet they work the hardest and get most of the ball every week.

Granted they have not used the ball all that well, but next to none in the side have. If we had a better supporting cast of midfielders things would be alot different.

Yep. There were occasions where Watto looked for the handball option when he should have kicked, but he put his body in, won the hardball, and fed it out more than anyone in our team. It shits me to tears that everyone loves belting this bloke while a bludging bastard like Monfries escapes scrutiny.
