Sunderland fans are all saying the same thing about 17-year-old ahead of Millwall clash

Sunderland fans are all saying the same thing about one academy gem ahead of their meeting with Millwall this weekend.

Sunderland are preparing to host Millwall in the Championship this weekend, as they approach the final three games of the campaign.

It is their penultimate match at the Stadium of Light and could potentially see them return to the top half of the league table with a win.

The Black Cats’ form has drastically improved in recent weeks, picking up five clean sheets in six games and remaining unbeaten this season against both Leeds United and West Brom.

Meanwhile, Millwall’s back-to-back wins over Leicester and Cardiff make relegation for highly unlikely at this stage.

There is very little to play for in the clash on Wearside tomorrow afternoon, but both sides will be vying to continue their unbeaten run until the end of the campaign.

It’s unclear what starting line-up Mike Dodds will be planning ahead of the tie, though he has made very limited changes during their positive run.

Their lack of goals has remained an issue though, and Sunderland fans have now all expressed their desire to see one youngster brought into the frame for their final matches.

Tom Watson has been a name on many fans and journalists lips recently, having bagged three in three for the U21s.

The winger has been likened to Jack Clarke and is very highly-rated, having been linked with a move to Nottingham Forest before signing his first professional contract with the Black Cats in September.

A Love Supreme shared a poll earlier this week asking whether supporters would like to see Watson given a chance in the senior team. 93.6% of the 1,233 people who voted said that they would want to see him given more minutes.

Fans have often shared their opinions on Watson and have urged Dodds to give him an opportunity, though the 37-year-old has so far resisted using these final games as a way to offer youngsters more experience, insisting that he wants to win all the matches left.
