Ollie Watkins

[cdbearsfan]

Serie A is a pub league these days, so difficult to judge how good he is. I wouldn't straight swap him for Watkins. Unless he has improved since leaving Chelsea, I think Watkins has a better all round game.

Most entitled thread we’ve had in ages.

As Scooter should have had it; It's nice to be important but it's more important to be entitled.

He needs to 'muscle' up and put a few pounds on so he can compete better with the physicality side of the game.

Oh no, no, no, no, nooo. We had another striker not too long ago, he did that. Ended badly for all concerned.

And before him, Darius Vassell trying to get rid of a blister on his foot with a power-drill (or maybe John Gregory was just trying to get a laugh with that comment).

Don't be ridiculous. It was a bruise under a toenail and he was just trying to relieve the pressure by drilling a very small hole... with a power drill!

We've all done it.

Would have cancelled his contract then, TBH.  I know footballers generally aren't the brightest, but fucking hell.

Watkins really proving his worth . Silencing the critics. Well played I give Watkins that goal v Palace today

I'm not silenced. Goes a little way to making up for all the chances he's missed, or wasted.

That's fair enough
However he's the only one getting the goals at the moment or looking any real danger.

[Risso]

That effort at the end was Watkins all over. Rubbish.

Our only hope for a goal at the moment. Another stinker from Ings today.

Wait until you see the replay.

Our strikers really haven’t got going this season. They have both had the odd moment of quality but no real sustained consistency and form. It’s strange and something that needs addressing.

If Ings connected with his chance very early on it could have been a completely different game.

[eamonn]

Do we not expect too much from Watkins and Ings? It seems every chance they get, even if it's a half one, they get slagged for missing it. Yet, I think their conversion % stats compare pretty favourably with the top strikers in the PL. Surely the problem is more that they don't get enough service.

[Ian.]

You may be right eamonn, in the same way every single mistake Mings makes it’s jumped on.

Our midfield could chip in more and in the same way Our midfield hasn’t helped our defence very well this season.

It’s definitely been quite a inconsistent season, hence our league position. They say the table doesn’t lie.

Good point,you only have to look at Nakamba ,who has only been back 10 minutes and some would say "he's shit", "stealing a living" etc..

Ings has had loads of chances recently, and mostly his efforts have been terrible.
