can't remember the last time we had a striker that hit the woodwork so much.

I find that the noise of a well-pumped football smacking off a post or the bar creates an extremely pleasing and satisfying sound.

That said, I do find the roars of YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAARRGGGGGGGGGHFUUUUCCCCKKKKARRBEAUTYYYYYYY! a little more pleasing when he does find the net.

Ings is a more clinical goalscorer than Watkins, Ollie offers more running down the channels but he misses to many chances for me. He should have buired that chance last night that hit the bar, can't remember the last time we had a striker that hit the woodwork so much.
He's got some way to go until he matches Saunders in that regard.

Oh whoah oh Deanoooo

As Coutinho isn't ready to start matches I think Watkins and Ings will be playing though I wonder what role they will all have as a front 3 if that is to be the first choice .

Watkins and Ings to continue together? Can't happen. Just can't happen.

Coutinho - Watkins - Buendia

Front three.

Sorry Danny.

Neither if I’m being honest. But we can only play one so personally I’m going Ings because he’s the better forward. But Watkins offers more overall. I’d like a better striker long term. Just imagine a younger Suarez or similar in front of Buendia/Bailey/Coutinho etc

Don't want to see both in same line up unless we're playing Norwich or Burnley at home.

One will have to get used to being a supersub.

Hard call based on tonight but I think for all his lack of conviction infront of goal our final third play flows better with Ollie upfront.

Watkins is a willing runner and excellent presence. But his actual football skills are so limited. Some of his efforts late on to head the ball were woeful.

I think it's actually much more difficult than people are making out, for all of Ollie's hard work and bluster, if a chance is going to drop to someone I would much, much rather it was Ings

Neither. Both awful. Watkins is a lower league trier, Ings looks about 50.

Can't argue with this.

I'm currently in the neither camp.

For us to take full advantage of what will be happening in midfield and out wide we need a much better forward.
