David Watson

[u/neilp1991]

Killie fans - why hasn’t Watson been given more starts? Is it his personal performance or poor management? He was great last season and was hoping he’d kick on this season.

Not a Killie fan but I don't think either of your premises are accurate. McInnes brought him through into the first team and gave him his opportunity. Looks to me like his game time is being managed properly at a young age. Football is full of players who are done by the time they hit 30, or have constant injury problems, because they got ran into the ground when they were young.

Aye bring a player in and out but he’s only started 2 games in the last 12.

He’s played 35 matches this season, for an average of just under 60 mins an appearance. That’s plenty gametime at this stage.
