| Play
for the Shirt
Stevie
Wat has urged the team to start getting their act together and
Sundays game against Bologna is the perfect time to start
Stevie
said:Now it is time to really start raising our game.
It is our last competitive game before the start of the new season
against Bologna on Sunday and there is no question that we are
all playing for our shirts now.
No-one is assured of a place against Arsenal that's for sure.
We've all got to stand up and be counted and show we deserve a
place in that team. We still have the same collection of players
that should have taken the club into Europe last season and our
realistic aim for the new season is to go one better. We don't
believe that this season is all about consolidation, we believe
it is about improving and finishing higher than last season's
seventh place."(07/08/03)
Get
Forward
Stevie
Watson is determined to get forward as much as he can. The more
chances he gets the more goals he will score. The Dundee game
was frustrating but Steve still managed a few efforts even though
he was on for the last 30 minutes.
Stevie
said: "From my own point of view, I got half an
hour or so and I managed to get a few efforts on goal which is
pleasing because I've missed a couple of days training this week.
I still feel there's a lot more to come from me and there’s a
lot more goals to come.
In every game I play in now, I'm trying to get forward a lot more
and get more chances which to a certain extent I did tonight and
hopefully I'll get the opportunity to do so on Saturday."

Wato:
"It's in our own Hands"
After
dropping vital points at home against strugglers, West Ham on
Saturday Steve Watson still believes we can get into Europe.
Wato
says: "We've found ourselves in fourth place and
yet haven't built on it. We dropped two points at Middlesbrough
and now two against West Ham. At the Riverside the draw felt like
a defeat and it was a similar feeling in the dressing room after
this one. We are all very disappointed. We know we can do better
and we have to. I can't put my finger on what went wrong but the
effort in the squad cannot be faulted and we will fight all the
way to get into Europe this season. It is still up to us."

Back With A Bang
Stevie
has given the team a big boost with his return. Not only has he
played well, (he's got 4 Blue Kipper Star
man nominations to date), but also he has been on the score
sheet 4 times in his last 4 league games. The need for goals from
midfield is essential if we are to maintain our top 6 position.

Comeback
Trail
Steve
Watson hopes to get his season going with an appearance for the
Reserves tomorrow night. He is desperate to get back into the
first team.
He
said:"I need to get as fit as I can be over the next few
weeks and then force the gaffer to pick me. But what I don't want
is for the team to do badly before I get selected, I want to be
in a winning side and push for a place while the team's doing
well. (13/10/02)
Hibbo's
The Man
Steve
Watson has admitted that he doesn't think that he has much chance
of getting in at right back but there may be a place for him further
forward.
"Hibbo's
been outstanding.He's probably been in the top three most consistent
players of the season so far, so it's going to be difficult for
me to get my place back, but I wouldn't be surprised if I played
the majority of my games this season further forward.
"I
certainly think I can do a job in front of Hibbo, as a right midfielder
and I scored four goals in six months at right back last season,
so I think if I was given an extended run further forward, I could
double that tally."(03/10/02)
