I thought Watters did well in the first half, linking up play, a couple of nice touches.
His runs in behind the defence made a lot of space which we utilised time and again.
Agree he should have finished some of the chances he had, but really feel once he gets his first one they will start flowing then.
Confidence is key for a striker, and overall he played well. Just missing the finishing touch!

Perfectly put regarding Watters. We seemed to lose a lot of the space we saw in the first half in the second. Whether that was due to tactics or the fact Watters had gone off is up for debate out I personally think it’s the latter.

Watters was always pulling one or two of brum's players with him, as he did for the goal, but after he went off nobody was doing that and a few times we had 4 or 5 players hanging around outside the box & nobody in the box or running into it to pass to so it just got passed around on the edge of the area with someone eventually getting frustrated enough to have a pop at seeing which row they could kick it into disguised as a shot from 20 yards.

Ok Gents fair comments but Watters is suppose to be a brilliant scorer / striker and 1 goal in 14 games for me it’s not enough as a striker.
Another couple of games to start , I would still give him.
So why does Morison take Watters off if he so good?

He took him off today due to illness. Was said at half time, and in his post match sky interview Morison said the same.

His touch is poor, he has no anticipation and the one on one with the keeper was shocking.
Terrible performance by him backed up by Morisons decision to haul him off at half time.
Etete done really well when he came on although missed a sitter and doesn’t look ready yet. A bit like Tanner.

We all have our opinions, it’s what makes this forum so good. We discuss our opinions. Some agree, others will not and argue their point.
But, I don’t think it was a coincidence that after half time the gaps behind their defence weren’t appearing as often as they were, I think Max played a big part of that. He makes those runs which get forgotten about, and they’re the things that don’t go noticed by supporters.
Morison sees something in him, I really believe that. Think he just needs that bit of luck, and things will click!

Only Morison can answer that question but I'm sure we all want someone to start scoring & we definitely need another striker. For Etete to not even hit the target from 3 yards out with nobody near him is not a good first impression either, the keeper may have saved it but that's not the point, at least get it between the goalposts.

Keeper was nowhere as long as the header was near post.
It was a terrible miss, and so was Watters one on one. Brilliant performance though and the goals will come if we play like that

Yes it was Watters miss once again, still deserves a few more starts for confidence and I am
Not writing him off just yet.
But time is running out for him.
14 appearances / 1 goal
