Ollie Watkins

[PaulWinch again]

Smirker, mate, you are genuinely on your own here. He was fantastic today, he’s also been improving of late. Just enjoy it.

I haven't said otherwise?

Well you said one good cameo and twenty bad games or something, so yes.

As I say, he plays for Villa, has been brilliant across his career for Villa, and largely changed and won the game for Villa today. Just enjoy it.

[Smirker]

There can't be many Villa fans out there in the world tonight, red in the face and furious that people won't agree with them about how shit Ollie Watkins is.

That's not what is going on though.

I enjoyed the win.

I enjoyed the goals.

I also decided to reply to one of the several posts PWS aimed at me.

No they were definitely aimed at me, here and in the match thread.

Fine if you do that but I should be allowed to respond.

As a confirmed Watkins Worshipper it was lovely to see

I've said all season that Watkins is better as a lone striker than anyone else we have, so when it's happening i'll say it again, i'll also say when someone is shockingly bad, as I have with a number of players at times this season. Malen was awful so I said so.

It was the combo of him and Onana that changed it for me. He was taking up better spaces, and Onana suddenly made them hurried and jittery in midfield, meaning we had more transitions with which to find Ollie in those better spaces.

Seems to me you make everyone else red in the face and furious because you're not a fan of Ollie, rather than it being the other way around!

To be fair, you're at least consistent, and not changing your mind because of one good performance is perfectly reasonable.

Imagine, Ollie Watkins scores a Wally Otkinds

In the match thread? Where? I did not see anything. Pleased for Watkins today. He offers us so much.

Ollie has been and is a stand out player for us.
An absolute bargain signed by our Deano and polished by SUE.
Anyone disputing this is attention seeking so please ignore.

I am one proud mother tonight.

I am one proud mother tonight.

And you deserve to be after everything he's put me through.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

No doubting that he’s been poor this season but that performance after his introduction was like the Ollie of old, long may it continue.
