Ollie Watkins

[oldhill_avfc]

He isn't shit/hasn't been shit for 18 months.

He's likely carrying an injury and out of form.

If he was contributing his normal goal every 2.5 games we might well be top of the league.

He isn't and we aren't.

if we are going to genuinely challenge, he's either got to hit a good run of form (which he has in the past) or we need to get an alternative in January if PSR permits.

I don't see that it's particularly complicated.

Less of the rationalism please. Footballer’s are either shit or brilliant.

I've never said he's shit.

I know for some it's hard to accept criticism of our Sacred Cow but there's no need to put words in my mouth.

If he's carrying a knock, and it's something that can get better with proper rest, it would be great to bring an experienced forward in early Jan, so we can take him out of the firing line and have him back firing in Feb/March for the run-in. 

Only the club knows what he can/can't manage, but with the amount of player data they have these days, I can't imagine for one moment they can't see the on-pitch limitations he currently has.  He needs help, he needs to sort his injury out - for him and for the team.

I think you have you little fibber. Santa wont bring you those Ollie Watkins pjs if your not careful

Confirming that you believe someone has been shit for 18months and then claiming a few posts you haven't said they're shit is a new low for the thread. It's the sort of mealy-mouthed technicality that is relied on by the worst of online bullshitters.
