I think Duran should be given a chance now and Ollie out of the team

I don't think it's even up for debate. I appreciate that Watkins isn't the most technical of players but right now he'd be lucky to get a start at Weston Super Mare. As for Bailey..I can only think he's either been drugged or Scooby Doo is going to pull his mask off to discover he's Robert Hopkins.

I have a feeling that Ollie knows it’s coming but as we saw with Ings, he’s not rising to the challenge. And he can’t play with a strike partner.

I’m contrast Bailey seems to need competition. He’s been simply woeful this season. He probably feels as threatened by Jaden taking his place as Martinez does by Olsen.

Right now I doubt Watkins could have a tug by himself. Everything about his game is half arsed. Maybe he's reached his ceiling, I don't know but for a so-called England international, I doubt on his performances this season, he'll be in the Geoff Thomas category and never earn another cap. Has his missus had another baby? Are the PL using a new ball this season? Does he have a new boot sponsor, Charlie Cairloli Superboots? I'm struggling to understand why he's a waste of a shirt right now.

I think the criticism is harsh personally. He's getting no service from the woefully out of form Rogers and Bailey and is suffering as a result. He isn't playing particularly well himself but when you've got absolutely no service and he's constantly having to beg players to square balls across the box whats he supposed to do?

That shot he dragged miles wide was piss poor though. He's maybe not getting as many chances as he'd like, but the ones he is getting he's stuffing up with annoying regularity.
