That's what I'd play as well. Both.
 

If Watt is going, has Goodwin lost the dressing room?  I've always been concerned that Goodwin has outwardly been his biggest fan whilst anyone that watches football can see he is a lazy b.  Either Goodwin has been bluffing all along (and people on the inside know that) or he is clueless.

I'd love to watch your press conferences if you were our manager.

"Yeah Watt is a bit useless, and he costs us an arm and a leg.  I'm not sure what to do with him, to be honest, I think Ashgar only bought him because he wanted to learn how to setup a YouTube channel.  I hope someone buys him the next time the transfer window opens".

Haha, but slightly missing the point.  Clearly I understand why Goodwin bums him up (although the extent of it I'm not convinced) - my point is everyone else in the dressing room is either in on the amateur psychology, or, more likely, they are also wondering why the useless tosser appears to continue to contribute the square root of feck all and still the manager eulogises over him and plays him if he's 'fit'.  

I invited him, verbally, to GTF at Spartans and my view has not been changed by Goodwin's misplaced praise.

No, don't believe Goodwin has lost dressing room.  I think you're mebbe being a bit rhetorical in putting that one out there Finn ?

Whilst I'm no party to what's going on on the inside, I do think it's pretty clear from body language, respect shown to Goodwin, workrate, disappointment shown by players - in a word, sweat suggests otherwise. - The question's premature at this stage, although getting back to winning ways is a must.
Problem 1 being I would exclude highest paid member of the dressing room compliment from that statement - it's crystal.   Goodwin already knows it, part of why Watt's already a bit part, unhappy player - when we're crying out for a striker.
Problem 2 being losses - leaves all glum to say the least.

As to whether Goodwin has been bluffing all along with Watt ?    I think he was yes, I think he hoped in that way he'd get more out of him , I think he thought better the devil you know.    ... Clearly the penny dropped lang syne, he's a splinters man who still has frustrating flashes of the mercurial about him , but it's a long time since vice captain role was anywhere near him.

So what to do with the lazy bastard becomes the question ?   Seems like he's trying to get rid - good, although I'll believe that when it happens.  To me he needs to give the young Stirton a bit more of a run. I'd like to see Watt as far from the dressing room as possible - he seems to be either the happy joker ot trouble. But what can he do until Jan 1 at the earliest given our sparse resources up front is clear.  Goodwin has the juggling act of getting rid before he can buy in which if rumours are true he's addressing.

And Goodwin is certainly not clueless - unlike previous administration who left him a fecking pariah in the first place.

Indeed.  I think Goodwin's praise was due to knowing that he was stuck with him until 2024 (January hopefully) and therefore trying to make the best of a bad hand, but the reality is that he's always going to be a waste of space and it looks like Goodwin has admitted defeat.  The club's biggest jobs in January are moving on the Joker and Spaghetti Hands.  If we can manage that then we might just get the player that will win us the league.  Basically two hangovers from the summer and the pinnacle of the inept recruitment of the Fat Controller.

The depressing thing is that we should be strolling through this league, but the Asghar years are still holding us back and will do for a few years yet.

I wouldn’t say so but Goodwin likes two holders. I’d prefer playing the team more attacking against QP.

I think its fine when we have doch but when its Tilson your a man down in the playing football dept.
 

Can only hope Cudjoe and Watt are away in january. Fucking hopeless.

Time to go Jim. Sort this before it’s too late.

 100%.
Saw him arguing with the fans on the way up the tunnel, once the fans turn - it’s curtains.

 
Yep, needs to fuck off. Unfortunately I doubt we can afford it so probably stuck with the useless cunt.
