Ollie Watkins

[Bobby Boy]

Works hard, runs a lot, makes intelligent runs.

Can't score goals.

Which, when you are our principal goal scorer, is a bit of a problem...

[ChicagoLion]

A few of the chances he had were made more difficult by his first touch.
And every time he shoots it straight and low either at the defender or goalkeeper.
Dreadful

Pick Archer you massive coward.

Pick Archer you massive coward.

Yep.

Pick Archer you massive coward.

Yep.

Aye

[VILLA MOLE]

well he had a go at the strikers tonight, so who knows for the Forest game

Watching Haaland earlier then watching Watkins after...

It's like just visiting a high star resort in Pigeon Point, Tobago then visiting Newtown.

He's a one in five striker; he needs five chances to score a goal. As for his running, he reminds me of Fenton, his only redeeming feature.

Interesting listening to Michael Owen after the game on the stream I watched. He basically said he’s got everything except nous at the crucial moment.  He said he doesn’t seem to a have a big picture in front of him ie where the keeper is at the moment he needs to finish

[Drummond]

Pick Archer you massive coward.

Yep.

This, over and over again.

He moans about strikers not doing their job yet keeps picking them.

He’s not even that good.

I still think it is his touch that is the problem.  It is often too heavy and it takes him too close to the keeper, which makes it more difficult.  His poor control also means that he often ends up on his weaker left foot, again making chances more difficult. 

Top strikers make it look so easy as they are able to get the ball exactly where they want it when they are in front of goal.

Exactly this. For all his effort, which I can’t criticise , he’s just not a goal scorer.
And we need goals.

His finishing wasn't good enough today, and he's out of form so far this season, but I think the criticism is over the top. A lot of his chances only happen because of the work he puts in and, on his finishing, I think he's got in his head too much. First season he was guilty of trying to put things too far into the corners and hit the woodwork over and over again. Right now he seems to have gone the other way and he's concentrating entirely on hitting the target, which makes it a bit too easy for the keeper.

With his confidence down I don't think it was particularly great for the manager to leave him on for 90 minutes and then criticise him in the post match interviews.
