Ollie Watkins

[Brend'Watkins]

Proper Centre Forward display. Won loads of battles, good in the air, 2 great goals. Well done Ollie.

[Deano's Mullet]

Eight goals already, six in the league.

I appreciate that we all see things differently, but I'm amazed that only 7 games in and some people question his ability / performance / contribution.

With a full season in the Premier League under his belt to build-up his experience and nous, we will have the striker we have longed for.

Love and cherish this boy.

I totally agree with you.

Exactly he's been brilliant for us.

[Risso]

I’m glad Risso isn’t in charge, he was ready to haul him off right before his brace!

Well done Ollie, took the goals superbly.

He may go quiet for spells but he's new to this level, and he's got an eye for a goal and getting in good positions. I just hope he doesn't get injured as we don't have anyone comparable to bring on anyway.

Fair enough, but I maintain he was miles off first half.  A stat flashed up that he'd only touched the ball 8 times, and he must have given it away cheaply for 4 or 5 of those.

Brilliant after that, obvs!

His goals were typical of the kind of goals he was scoring for Brentford - proper centre forward goals. Really happy to see him score goals like that because that's his game and it should be a sign of things to come.

To be fair to Risso...I thought Watkins touch was a bit ropey at times until the scoring burst late on. But physically he is well able for it, that Gabriel is a mountain of a man but Watkins gave him nothing easy. Two proper forward goals too. Such an uplift in quality from Wesley/Samatta/Davis and much more to come

I think it was your timing Risso, it was right on queue for his first!

His hold up play was very good I thought, but you were right in saying he was loose with his passing a few times.

[PaulWinch again]

Love both goals. The first is all about striker’s instinct, after brilliance from Douglas and Barkley. The second is great movement and a great finish.

The first thing I saw as my Scorchio posted was Risso's comment posted 20 seconds earlier. It happens and is funny, and has happened to all of us.

[dave shelley]

As I posted in the post match thread, Ollie Watkins is going to be some player for us.

Fixed.

[Hillbilly]

Reminds me a bit of Ian Wright. A bit of nuisance for defenders and knows how to nip in in front of defenders.

[curiousorange]

He seems very realistic about his performances in his post match interviews. Kicked himself for not getting more against the Scousers, and recognising he only had two chances tonight. That attitude is going to take him to the top.

[usav]

How many of those bullet headers from a couple of yards out does he have now?  I know it’s more about the cross, but love that’s he’s in there and not afraid to put his head where it hurts.
