V Luton
I suspect a brace at least for Watkins he's had at least 2+ shots on target a game in his last 5 games

Sky Sports Dave Jones said to Hendrie after the game a no brainer that ex Aston Villa manager as England coach Watkins will be selected for Euros.

Hendrie and Redknapp both think Watkins will be definitely going to the Euros for England.

Jones, Hendrie and Redknapp interviewed Watkins after game and they were full of praise
Watkins" I believe I can score every game and if I don't I believe I can score in the next one"

And that's exactly my belief and why I say he will score each game!

Always interviews well and speaks honestly and with knowledge.
He acknowledged his poor hold-up play in the second half.
He also mentioned how the midfield was too far away from him in the second half and that when we are two or three goals up, we get comfortable and too relaxed, and something needs to be addressed.

Reckon if he keeps this form up, he's in with a shout of various player of the season awards.

Don't think a Villa player has won any of them since McGrath won the PFA one in 92-93.

Yeah he’s been fantastic and he’s scoring all kinds of goals now. The touch and finish for the second were sensational.

Although Milner won it when he was 24. Not exactly young and wouldn't be allowed entry at that age anymore.

Interesting point Lineker made about how now if Kane was injured we have someone who wouldn't just fill a gap, but add something Kane doesn't have. I haven't heard anyone speak about an English centre forward like that for years.

Well done Ollie. High praise from a man who knows a thing or too about the role. Shearer gushing also.

Yeah, I really hope Ollie doesn't get an extended run in the England team, because he might make them good enough to win things.

Ollie stretching the defence, providing extra space for Kane and creating chances for midfielders, as well as scoring his own goals, could be lethal.

Wankers jumping on bus stops, cap-wearing ****** taking over bars ordering their Carlings and Stellas, every beer garden becoming a coke convention.

Hopefully Ollie stays glorious and ours alone.

Edit: I don't support Ireland.

I said on here a while ago that if he gets 20 league goals I’ll eat my sou’wester

Looks like I better get the salt and vinegar ready
