Watmore's having a go 'on one leg'????

[TeessideCleveland]

Wilder said: “We’ve got really high hopes for Josh, but we possibly feel that in his progression and his development that he maybe needs to go out [on loan] and play regular football and get into a rhythm. But right now, he’s here, Chuba’s here having a go, Dunc is here having a go on one leg, and we all understand where we’re at'.

What does he mean 'on one leg'?

I have heard from a good source he is really struggling with his knee and he manages it in training and is really playing through the pain barrier. He will never do 90 minutes for us I don’t think.

I don’t think any of our strikers will do 90 mins for us under Wilder.

Watmore is best as an impact sub and would’ve been ideal to bring him on yesterday with 20-30 mins left.

I can only think that he is carrying a knock …. Carrying a knock or not does not excuse his failure to get on the end of that cross yesterday

Probably not but I think others are capable. I don’t think Watmore is.

He's been managing his injuries since he signed for us, it's probably just got worse as he's a bit older and he's played consistently through it for 2 seasons now.

I was at the game and I can confirm that Watmore definitely had two legs.

No idea what CW is on about.

Probably the fact the ball somehow managed to go through Watmore’s foot when he was a yard out from goal

I think it was a cack handed joke about the miss!

Bernie would have been all over that cross like a tramp on a dropped kebab - we just need someone who knows how to do tap ins with balls like that

Unless he was wearing a cardboard cut-out, which could explain it?

I think it's highly unprofessional of the club to allow a player with only one leg to play.

Typical boro.

 

[S7DiscoDown]

I'm presuming it means he's carrying a knock. Although maybe keep that on the down low if we have a bid on the table for him

I think we've just signed one. Unfortunately he played in the wrong half.

You can tell that from his intensity and his limited game timed . He’s had Horrific injuries but he’s done amazing to get this far.

 

[Smoginexile]

I think that means he has an injury.
Players often make sure everyone knows if they break so much as a finger nail.
He just gets on with it and does what he can.
I really like him.

 

[Gunslinger]

He's not a central striker is he really, he lacks the attributes to play that way as a central striker in a 2 man strike force IMHO, he was best for us as a wide forward cutting inside in the 4-3-3 we had under Warnock, he's good at finding pockets of space coming in from wide areas, thats his game, you can't ask him to play centrally as a target in Wilders set up, thats just nuts

Forss looks similiar to me............he needs a strong technical type of striker to play off, but i think Wilder just wants his 2 strikers to be mobile and press high, so that is something Forss will have to learn going forward

 

[Middlesbrough123]

Makes me wonder if hoppe was a target or just a reference for watmore

 

[DanBoro4499]

To be fair, he played like he had 1 leg on saturday.
