Could be paper talk but as I said weeks ago I think they will both leave. |

TBH I was surprised when Watson was still with us for this season!

Really? He isn't that good! Like, good enough for someone to take a gamble on him with a free maybe, but he's not a standout League 1 player.

I would agree with Welly that perhaps Watson is 'not that good', but having said that yet again it would seem our 'player of the season' has up and left us immediately after picking up the accolade. On another matter, can anyone inform me what with KC agreeing a full time contract with Oldham Athletic that it means we do not have to pay the rest of his outstanding contract with us?

Watson has one significant attribute...arriving on the edge of the box in a timely fashion and putting a shot away from a loose ball/lay off. He's very good at that.
I think aside from that, he's a fine league2 player, but very average in league1. BUT goal scoring is a huge attribute to have, so that kind of masks everything else where he's probably not great.
This isn't a slur. If we'd had 11 average league1 players we'd have finished midtable in league1! He's therefore just the right sort of player we need at this moment in time. Get us out of league2 (again), then stabilise us in league1!
I shouldn't of thought a club like Crewe will have much weight in terms of them being in league1 versus a league2 team. It will come down to £. He's 27, unlikely he will ever play above the lower two divisions. They bobble about in the lower two divisions just like we do. If its exactly the same contract being offered, hypothetically, he'd probably go with the club closest to home. Different for a player who is 22/23/24 because their aspirations will be to play as high up the pyramid as possible, regardless (within reason).
Id say we've got a much more realistic chance of keeping Watson than Jones. I too though would be surprised if either signs for us. I don't have much faith at the minute that we are going to be pushing the boat out financially to put in a strong challenge next season, the next few weeks will either blow that lack of faith out the water or confirm it. Fingers crossed I'm wrong, obviously!!

Does he still live up North?
He has been with us, MK and Barnet in the last 5/6 years so thought he may be settled down here by now.
Think Watson/McWilliams would be a fine midfield pairing for us in L2.
Hopefully have news on him and LJ soon though, otherwise it's back to the norm for us in waiting for our best players to re-sign, they don't and then we rush into picking up whoever might be available for the sake of it.
See the Rob Hall rumour is picking up some traction, really hope we do a thorough medical like MW suggests if that is the case.

Managed 18.5 games per year since 2013. Can't see him being any more use than Marshall would have been. I don't know why you would ever risk picking up a similar player when its seemingly a gamble if they will work out. The risk/reward does not add up. |

Hall isn’t that good a player to merit the risk for me.

Harboroughs all right. Can anyone recall the name of the pub, on the corner, that had sawdust on the floor? |
Were in the pipe 5 by 5.

YES!!! Hopefully, KC will sign him again...HOOF...worst NTFC captain ever! Will free up at least two decent L2 wages I'd guess |

i bet the instant the second hand ticked passed the two week time frame on Bolger , the club sent the email to say his time was up - thanks very much .
Absolutely useless and the fact Lincoln paid most of his wages still is testament to the fact they think the same thing .
