When pretty much everyone, include your team mates, are basically saying "wow, holy shit" you know you scored a stunner.

And we were touting this boy to any and everybody in the window gone by …..I shudder.

I'm not sure that's true, most of the comments from people like Monchi seem to be that helpful was interested in going for more game time and we agreed to let him go if anyone met our price. I'd suspect the same would be true of pretty much everyone.

The BBC account starts with the equivalent of "We did a story on the death of the screamer and Duran stated hold my beer".

Would have had a hat-trick today given the same chances Watkins had.

Deserves to start for a few games. We've got some nice fixtures now and Watkins can come on from the bench.

For me it's clear.

Big D must start.

Completely disagree. I think we get the best out of Duran when he's coming off the bench with a chip on his shoulder. Keep him angry!

It would probably keep Ollie on his toes too. He's still the main man but he's going to have to perform at his very best week in week out if he's got Duran doing that every week.

Absolute nonsense.

But what a couple of strikers we have

Playing them both would be an absolute luxury if we could make it work. Doubt it'll ever happen for 90 minutes though.

He's won us 6 points already (3 match winners, 1 point otherwise) and that is the best left-footed strike by a Villan since Savo Wembley '96.

McGinn?

Against Wednesday in the Championship? Good shout, think it was this time of year too.

Its not nonsense. He's outscoring Watkins from the bench and despite his two goals today, Ollie still looks a bit short of sharpness. Missed a few sitters. Duran would have had at least 3 today had he started. He definitely deserves a run in the starting 11.

It is. You can’t use scoring goals as a reason to start someone, whilst at the same time also suggesting someone deserves to be dropped after scoring two. I’m ignoring the fact that Duran would also score all the imaginary goals.

Form is more than one match. That's why Ollie should be dropped.

Ollie's all round performances haven't been great.

Of the two, Duran is the one in form. Not nonsense at all.

I think we're seeing a genuine superstar taking off on front of us, 3 goals off the bench to win 3 games, each magnificent in their own way.

i said the same somewhere else Lee. Three superbly taken goals all different and all taken without any hesitation. Ollie is outstanding in his own way, but he's just not doing what Duran does. It's something about that South American madness about him, oryou see it in African players too who score some fucking screamers. To even think about what he did in that moment, so far out. The shot itself literaly couldn't have been any more perfect. Immense power, swerve and beat the current England keeper who is a very good shot stopper. In fact no keeper was stopping that.
