Ollie Watkins

[Footy-Vill]

Before the international break we play Brentford

Ollie Watkins has 5 goals 1 assist in 6 appearances versus Brentford in the Premier League for Villa

3 wins and 3 draws he undefeated and clearly enjoys playing against them

Make that 6 goals !
And could have scored another if he didn’t go for the chip!
Well done Watkins still unbeaten against Brentford!

May the Brentford chumps keep booing him.

Like all strikers, he'll have to 'unteach' himself to play off the last defender as VAR has killed that art form stone dead. The last two offsides he's been involved in have eaxh been about 2-3 inches max. Before VAR it would have been superb forward play.

Needs to get practicing that no look chip shot! That was awful. Lead the line well, mind.

[PaulWinch again]

It might have been due to concern about where the defenders were but I think his biggest mistake on that chance was not trying to cut across more and get more central as he approached the box. That would have given him more options, he was basically left with the chip.

I think gk's know that all his 1on1's will be an attempted chip this season!

Keeper seemed set for it anyway, big gap between his feet. If Ollie was a bit cuter he could have spotted that.

[Meanwood Villa]

It was bizarre he still went for the chip when the keeper was stood up. Just hit it low and hard like he did for the goal.

He's clearly a very good centre forward, but I cannot remember a player that I'd have less faith in when through one on one.

Gabby and Vassell for two.

They sprang to mind for me too. All three have done quite well for us though haven't they?

[Percy McCarthy]

Wasn't really in the game, but you can't underestimate his work rate off the ball.

Overestimate. Underestimating him is what people are doing.

Oh, I think he's being estimated quite accurately by some of us.

Dean Saunders was a master at hitting the keeper.

[eye digress]

Think he had Arsenal last season at the Emirates running through his head - a near carbon copy move and attempted finish.
