JackArmy.net has learned that following the impending departure of Matthew Bound to Oxford, Steve Watkin will be the next out of the Vetch Field doors, possibly for a link up with John Hollins at Rochdale?<\/p>\n
Watkin was the leading scorer under Hollins during his time at the club and Hollins is known to be a fan of the former Wrexham man who will surely end up being known as “the man who scored the goal that knocked Arsenal out of the FA Cup”<\/p>\n
Having said that, Watkin is not a firm favourite at the Vetch and has just two goals to his credit this season, one a penalty and has not scored in the league since the opening day of the season at Macclesfield.<\/p>\n
Whether it is Rochdale that are showing the interest remains to be seen but I cannot imagine too many people shedding a tear if Watkin is to go and the transfer fee is hardly likely to increase the stay of Petty and Lewis for that much longer.<\/p>\n
What is of more concern is the transfer dealings of the club since that fateful day back in October which now reads<\/p>\n
OUT – Stuart Roberts (Wycombe), Richie Appleby (Kidderminster), Matthew Bound (Oxford), Steve Watkin (?)<\/p>\n
IN – Steve Brodie (Scarborough), Terry Evans (Barry), Neil Sharp (Merthyr)<\/p>\n
League players replaced with non-league players. Bound and Watkin are also two of the seven sacked on that black Wednesday so hands up if you know who is going to be next?<\/p>\n
