Agbonlahor should make the most of the next few weeks as he won't be able to dine out on being our top Premier league goalscorer for much longer.

I was going to ask how many is Ollie away now? Would be good to get that matter settled this season.

I love Ollie, he’s the best centre forward we’ve had since Yorke.

Being made in Devon though and the journey he’s made it just really makes it quite special for me.

I live for SE's digs at Watkins, they make me laugh because deep down I know what he means. I also know he's integral to how we play and those two thoughts can both coexist. The ball does bounce off him far too much, it drives me mad, but I love how much of a nuisance he is and how hard he works.

SE is mad when it comes to Watkins. All that butter has addled his brain.

I thought he was poor, could not trap a bag of cement but what a great header.

Agbonlahor 74, Watkins 64 I think

64 and counting. Ollie’s birthday is on 30 December so that could be the day with Brighton at Villa Park.

Are people thinking his first time lay-offs are attempts at controlling it? The only explanation for this nonsense.

Scored a cracking header, denied a first by a decent save, would have had an assist if Rogers hadn't ballooned it over and got a player of theirs sent off but other than that, he was apparently poor.

Poor by the standards of prime, non-wanker Ronaldo maybe.

So Gabby had an actual song.
I don't like how Watkins doesn't have an actual song , just a chant and likes of Cash who hasn't done as much gets one and is sung regardless of his performance!

Ollie needs far more recognition!

Ollie's form has dipped a lot. He had a few decent games, but bear in mind he didn't start the season in any shape or form either. On this form he certainly wouldn't warrant a start for England next week.

I’m coming round to Mr Ealing’s way of thinking when it comes to Watkins.

He has been poor for much of the season. His control when the ball comes to him is routinely wretched and he seems to be physically weaker than every centre half he is up against.

He has also missed some big, big chances that has seriously cost us.

He needs to rediscover his mojo pronto.
