You honestly think Duran is better than Watkins just because he’s had a slow start?  The second miss was more down to the save than the header.

Pathetic support for a player who was incredible for us last season and will be again.

I don’t think we need a strongest XI in the traditional sense. We need the best XI for the specific game we are playing. There will of course be certain players who are more guaranteed to start than others. But our squad needs to be deep enough to put out any number of systems, formations that doesn’t reduce our overall quality.

It's probably be a brave decision to start him at the moment.

Lol. No Watkins. I can't take this thread seriously on that basis alone.

"See that? That's bait."

A pity Ollie didn't angle his header all the same. Was the save really that good?
