Seems to me a football mistake to equate not playing well with not trying. Law of averages one of them has to score or assist today, at least Middleton has a goal and an assist, actually i think he has shown a little more the last few matches. Watt should be in the next best position on the park after Moult to get both goals and assists, given we are the dominant team in most these games and level of opposition we are playing in both the cup and league this season, it's quite remarkable Watt has neither, even accounting for him being poor in front of goal, its probably harder to not have had a goal or an assist in that run. I think both of them are quite slow tbf, Middleton has a habit of being slow to react/on his heels, but I do think they are trying and will improve, not expecting either of them even at this level however to blow the league away, certainly neither should be getting preferential treatment, up to the youngsters to make themselves undroppable when they get the chances.
