It's obvious to even the part time supporter we lack a bit of size. As a head coach I'm certain at the beginning of the season Gentle knew we would struggle in games where O'meley, Lynch and Watts weren't all playing, as proved even against some of the bottom half of the table teams. The measure of Gentles coaching ability is what he can come up with to fix the problem. On the topic of problem fixing I'd love us to sign a quality attacking centre, put a bid in for Dean Collis at Wakey Mr Pearson!

As a replacement I agree, however it would have been a treat to have both, or two similar quality players.

I'm not sure if that strengthens or weakens your argument. Watts has clearly lost some size (probably the most notable in the entire squad), so that's quite possibly a big factor in why he's gone backwards.

Mediocre was probably badly worded on my part. What I was trying to say was that he came on like he could be the next big thing then his application seemed to go downhillHis technique became seemingly lazy and he became a penalty machine, laying on too long and struggling (or not trying hard enough) to win the collision so leaving hands in. It was certainly not down to ability but almost as if he wasn’t putting in the hard work in training, becoming complacent?? This was backed up by Sandercock not even picking him (and the rumours around his attitude being off) then his ultimately being allowed to leave without a fight.
I’ve not seen enough of him this year (only your tv games and the derbies) but what I have seen seems very reminiscent of his latter months with us. Must admit I thought he’d bucked his ideas up in his first few months with you.

Seems about right to me. I'd strongly dispute the idea that he's been one of our best forwards this year. I think he's been relatively poor.

Me too.
