Useless player who needs dropping. It's actually pathetic how many poor decisions he makes repeatedly. I'm 1000% confident Archer would do a much better job than this non-scoring goal scorer.


Same.

Devoid of confidence and form and yet Action Man hair keeps picking him.

First laugh of the evening. Action Man hair.

Couldn’t get onto a cross even if his name was Jesus.

We put 2 decent crosses in all game, one he headed back into a dangerous area in thexbuild up to our goal and the other was our only other shot on target.

He’s a Championship player at best, league 1 would welcome him right now.

I have been a critic of late but what centre forward can survive without supply.

He needs taking out of the firing line. The lack of width and glacial speed of play isn't helping him one bit either but then again nor is his elephants touch. Give Archer a go.

He's been awful, but I don't think he's as bad as his form suggests. He's capable of getting goals, but the ball takes so damned long to come in, he's nearly always up against defenders who've had time to set themselves, rather than being on the back foot. The set-up of the team isn't helping him at all, and the players' timing of runs and passes is all off. It's like they were all signed last week. You wouldn't know they've all been playing together for over a year.

He's genuinely awful. A million miles away from being good enough, a first touch like a trampoline and the decision making prowess of Liz Truss.

Harsh but funny.

Whatever you think of his play, several times he got possession facing the opposition goal in our own half and didn't have another Villa player in the same postcode as him and he had to try and turn into Dalian Atkinson which is not in him.

I've had a bit of a downer on Ollies for a couple of seasons now.  His finishing is just pathetic and it's noticable even pundits and commentators are spotting this now.  Much as he has some great attributes and had an excellent first season with us, at the moment I just think he's a bit shit and a change would probably be better for both sides.

Don't think he's been the same since he became a dad.Maybe it's sleep deprivation.

He's not shit, just woefully out of form.
