Ollie Watkins

[andyh]

strikes me that Watkins comments are a good indication of how the mindset and expections of the squad have changed.  For example can anyone imagine Gaby coming out with such comments?

Some of them

One has to respect his honesty.

He has mentioned it once before too, along with Douglas Luiz.

None of this PR crafted robotic garbage that uses lots of words to say fuck all.

Some nice honesty for a change.

Makes me proud to support The Villa.

A few times = twice now this season.

We've won far more points late on than we've dropped.

Luton away as well. We were in total control and then had to get a late winner to win a game that should have been put to bed long before.

It's weird too that in that game, Saturday and even on Boxing Day we were in total control of the games  when going ahead, none we see-sawing games where we'd just taken the first chances.
The first half at Luton was pretty much the perfect performance against such opposition, we'd cruised to 2 up at Old Trafford and Saturday felt like it was going to be the most standard routine home win after the 2nd goal, until it wasn't.

There's been other games where it's happened but we've come back to life and sorted it out, Brighton and West Ham at home spring to mind, but it is a bit strange.

So did Arsenal against them I think.

[Risso]

Just think, if he was our penalty taker he'd be on 18 goals.

[Footy-Vill]

No striker in the league has more touches in the opponent's penalty area than Watkins .

It seems Ollie was doing his bit for non-league football last night watching Truro City v Torquay. It seems his mate is the Truro captain.

Mustn't be playing on Thursday, if he's traipsing all the way to Cornwall on a Monday night.

[Sleeuwenhoek]

If he's thinking of coming to Mousehole v Melksham tonight there's a pitch inspection!

Yes I am also concerned. Time difference lag is a factor and on top that he would have scoffed a few Cornish pasties as well. Totally unprofessional  he has been. I think an immediate fine of two weeks wages paid to a well deserving charity called olaftab should teach him not to do it again.

That's harsh...but true.

I can see the headlines already if he doesn't get a hat-trick on Thursday.
"Watkins is pasty his best"
Apologies.

He only travelled to Gloucester, although he will need jabs after being there.
