Max Watters

By Glen Williams

A number of players have personally benefitted from the summer window, but few more so than Max Watters. Cardiff saw Uche Ikpeazu and Jordan Hugill leave for their parent clubs at the end of last season, while James Collins was sold off to Derby County.

It meant that Watters, who has little Championship pedigree and a poor goal record in the division so far, has been entrusted with the first-choice striker tag. That is some show of faith from the manager, who has placed a sizeable amount of responsibility on his shoulders.

It is likely that the signing of Robinson will displace him from the starting lineup, with Watters having started all eight games for the Bluebirds without scoring a goal, but even so, he is still battling for that shirt. The manager clearly sees something, enough to only sign one striker at least, and that will be a huge boost for the player. He needs to repay the favour with goals sooner rather than later, though.

I get the impression that Glen Williams is desperate to right about things atm.

We all know the situation about Watters. We know how it has come about. Sadly it's not looking good for him. I hope he does turn a corner because one we need it and two I quite like the players. He needs a goal soon else those misses are going to haunt him while he is here.

He needs a spell out on loan till January at a club where he is likely to score - which probably means L1 or 2. When he regains his confidence he can come back and go again. Must be very stressful for him with a lot of expectation and made worse when it's not delivering. All players have a wobble, no shame in that.

In theory I agree, but that would leave just Robinson and Harris as possible strikers. However many blanks Watters is fitting atm it would be too risky until / unless we pick up another striker, possibly in January
