Good energy from Tammy when he came on. Looked like he wanted it. Got upset with the ref's decisions. Infectious.

Will be lift off when he get's his first goal back in C&B, particularly if it's infront of the Holte End.

Providing whatever drooling sycophant they have manning VAR that week doesn't chalk it off for an infringement 10 minutes previous, ofc.

Well if it is this weekend, I don't think there is VAR.

Looked like he might make something happen, which putting it politely, we were struggling to do elsewhere.

I’m not sure he did touch the ball either. Just thought his energy was good and he got in the ref’s face a bit - something we don’t do enough of at times.

He didn’t do much, but he did show some energy which we needed. Still not really sure how a two handed shove to the chest isn’t a foul though.

Apart from the potential penalty shout before the corner we scored from I can’t remember him doing anything, so difficult to judge either way.

It’s a tough role, especially the way we’re playing at present. Ollie had some good touches and being typical Ollie had some terrible ones. It’s a thankless role playing up front for Villa at the moment. Feeding off scraps.

He panicked their backline more in 5 mins than Watkins did in 65.

I'm a fan of Ollie but think this summer will see a mutual parting of the ways.

Correct, it’s not as if our strikers are missing bucket loads of chances which piles the pressure on and increases criticism when they (or Watkins) miss chances. I think Ollie is struggling to give us the other parts to his game that we used to take for granted and Tammy hasn’t had the opportunity, yet, to show us what he can do.

Well but without wishing to oversimplify, it’s a lot easier to come out and empty the tank if you have a few minutes on the pitch against a tiring defence. That’s not a criticism of Tammy, it’s the role he had today. But had the roles been reversed you probably would have seen similar from Watkins.

I think all Ollie has suffered (and Tammy will suffer) from our weakness in the final third - we dont seem to create many chances for strikers - hence the number of worldies - and the fact we have scored significantly less goals then our peers.

Yeah I’d agree, there’s a lack of spark at times. But in fairness, without Pau and Tielemans our quality on the ball always massively drops.
