Ollie Watkins

[PeterWithe]

He certainly didn't hang around at the end of the game, straight off he was, he did not look a happy fella.

Don't think a lot can be read into that, the freezing rain was coming down horizontally and what felt like a Force 10 was coming in the other direction. If we could have 'declared' after the first goal I would have done.

I dont blame him for buggering off PDQ, most of the crowd had anyway.

Needs a few weeks on the bench. Rest, reset, whatever. Been so wasteful this season it's almost farcical.

[PaulWinch again]

With the greatest respect that’s a massive overreaction. He misses chances, he always has and actually lots of forwards do. But he gets a lot of chances because he gets himself in the position to have them - he’s also got a pretty good record this year. Plus he does so much good work for the team too. His season last season was better than anyone in terms of goals and assists and he deserves more respect.

[pauliewalnuts]

He was absolutely terrible today, just embarrassingly poor decision making and execution.

Needs some time out of the team.

[PaulWinch again]

He had a poor day - he got a goal and an assist in midweek.

[ROBBO]

He's under pressure, he shoots when he should pass and passes when he has the chance to shoot. It's a confidence problem that he will work through.

Some of his decision making yesterday was poor but looks desperate to score and making the wrong decisions. His hold up play is now the best it’s ever been though.

Isn’t he the worst in the league with regards missing big chances this season? Not so sure it’s great he’s in those positions when he keeps fluffing them. Just means he’s taking up somebody else’s spot to get to them.

His hold up play is now the best it’s ever been though.

True that, maybe he's put on more muscle and isn't yet mentally attuned to his body changing?

[Olof's Beard]

Was he really that bad? He made some poor decisions in the box but his movement was excellent as usual and he stretched them. Unfortunately he, nor the rest of the team, could take advantage of that.

He's like Andy Cole - you have to accept the missed chances but he'll always get another. To say he can't finish after the last two years is unfair. There are some absolute corkers in here:

[Ian.]

He did play well and he caused havoc, he really stretched them. He wasn’t the only one making the wrong choices in the final third and it’s been an issue all season. Last year we scored for fun. It’s been far more difficult and probably our own doing and it’s playing on their minds.

I do think it’s time to let Duran have a chance though.

[Clampy]

Ollie enjoys being the main man doesn't he? When it was only him after Ings left, rather than it pressure him, it brought the best out of him. His build up play and running off the ball yesterday again was excellent but his finishing let him down sadly

[Ian.]

It seems that way Clampy, he did have the look of trying to hard in the final third yesterday.

[Baldy]

Every team in the Premier League (apart from Liverpool) would be glad to have Ollie in their side.

We should be grateful and not moaning.
