I heard the Villa analytics guy off twitter on a podcast a while back and he said Watkins xg last year was 36, so he underperformed.

The Brentford fans seem to say he works extremely hard, is good in the air and with both feet and has pace.All sounds very promising.

Maybe they combined the Watkins and Brentford XG together as a measurement?Thanks for putting up podcast , new one one me, haven't had chance to listen but hope to check it out sometime.Up the Villa.
I just wonder if he's got the all round game to be a success in the Premier League. I've not seen lots of him play, but from the video of all his goals last season, 90% of them seem to be tap ins from good work from the rest of the Brentford team, against some dodgy Championship defending. We've had our fingers burnt buying a Brentford player who just scored tap ins in the past, so is this going to be different? Please tell me it is!
