He must have had some supply to get into double figures. He doesn't get enough but it's not that bad.

Supply dried up when Grealish got injured.

he'd have another 10 if there wasn't tight var calls added to the amount of times he has hit the woodwork

13 Premier League goals in his first Season at this level.

My biggest criticism of him would be his hold up play but it was excellent tonight.

Top class tonight. His hold up play was brilliant. That performance I reckon gets him an England squad place.

He’s a bloody good team player. Works so hard for us. It’s ace too having someone from Newton Abbot and a former Exeter City player playing for us. I like that a lot!

We have a top centre forward and he has the potential to become even better.

When i see him play like he did tonight it just reinforces my opinion that signing a striker and pushing him out wide would be a massive mistake.

He's a better player than Calvert-Lewin, I know that.

Me too, he’s a great centre forward. Someone earlier said his hold up play was his weak point, which surprised me as he holds it up so well and nine times out ten plays the ball to one of our own.

Oh I agree. In no way should we be shoving Ollie our wide. If we sign a striker it needs to be competition for Ollie.

15 in 36 games so far.
5 games to go.
Wonder if he might make it 20 by the end of the season?

People are talking about playing him in a front three, not at right back.

What a class player! Made that goal for himself last night with his tenacity, strength, determination and accuracy. Could easily have taken the easy route and gone down for a free-kick, but the guy is something special and will get better and better. 13 goals in 35 games is a great return especially when legitimate goals of his have been chalked off and he's hit woodwork 7+(?) times.
Well done Ollie!
