Ollie Watkins

[PaulTheVillan]

Last week, he was back. This week, sell him.

To be honest, last week he ran around a lot and took 3 goes at what should be a simple goal for a top level striker

He’s not a top flight wide player.  He just hasn’t got the quality to play there.  In the form he has been in for the last year or so, he is a striker to bring on in the latter stages of games to give a bit of energy in the final third.

Yeah, apart from that goal he didn't do much. We need a better striker  than him.

A striker who is top class at at least one thing so we can play to their strengths

[Des Little]

Ill be amazed if he’s still here next season, but the same could be said for half of this team.

[Mellin]

I said the latter. I didn't say the former. He's not good enough. Sell him.

There are mitigating circumstances but it can’t be denied that Watkins is regressing each season.

Doesn't seem to have been the same since he became a Dad. Compare and contrast with Risso who just gets better and better each time he has a bambino.

Based on his first touch and shooting skills, Watkins not Risso’s, it was some feat that he got her pregnant.

Of course it could be a grudge baby.

[ASHTONVILLA]

He was very good in his first season, so we know he can do well when deployed in the right position in a system that suits him.

Emery will need to decide wether setting the team up to suit him is worth the upheaval or we twist and get someone that suits the way he wants to set us up. The big plus with Watkins is that he puts a shift in, and makes himself busy. I think we will keep him, but he will be not be our frontline striker, and that he will improve.

Time will tell though.

Maybe he isn't as focussed now. Me I spend more time at work when a baby appears!

How many has Risso got now? I'm on 5, but might be 6 soon if the missus gets her way.

Now I'm picturing Ollie running around the bed for hours, hitting the 'side netting' several times and finally getting a shot off on target. The carpet burns from his celebration after scoring must have been painful.

BV, I've said the same about Ollie; never been the same player since he became a father.

[eamonn]

Danny became a Daddy too around that time right? You'd think we have a right pair of dribblers up-front.

[Demitri_C]

Has only been a success 1 of the 3 seasons here in my opinion so far.

I just don't think he is good enough.  That air kick on Saturday was so poor and embarrassing.

[Jon Crofts]

Hardly a revelation.
