villalad21 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 He really isn't something different. He is similar to Watkins. Keinan Davis is that different type of striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Something that people seem to forget with him is that in most of his appearances for us he's played as a wide forward in a front three, and he played mostly wide for Solihull last season as well. And I think that's where he'd likely play for the first team, especially if we go back to playing one up front. He's different from Watkins though, he's more direct and pacey, Watkins can be those things, but perhaps they're more prevalent in Archer's game, Watkins has developed into a player that can play the lone striker role very well, I'm not even sure if we'd play Archer as a lone striker even if both Ings and OW11 were both injured. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Just seen the goals from last night, I love how this guy finishes, doesn’t take the safe option and just try to hit the target. This chaps potential is very high I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody1000 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Judging from how the rest of the youngsters are slowing being introduced to the first team, I don’t have any worries that he will be rushed in to try and aid our inconsistent start to the season. His future looks bright, hopefully in the next 12-18 months he will start to see more minutes for the first team. If we go out of the cup in the 3rd or 4th round, I could definitely see him going out on loan. I’d rather he went to league 1 than the championship if it will mean he gets more game time.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Apparently we are trying to get him for Jamaica, as he is eligible through his mother. ( Also eligible for England and Wales ) Need all the help we can get though. Antonio, Archer and Bailey are a very decent front line. Shame we are shite in most other areas though.

useless Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Apparently it's incorrect that he's eligible to play for Wales, he qualifies for Jamaica though, I've think we've got a few others that also qualify for that famous Caribbean island nation, Davis being one of them. Makes it all the more surprising that England didn't call him up to the U21s if there's a risk of him deciding to play for another country, not just that but he's doing better than most of the other attackers that got called up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is quick, and can finish, has pedigree. Some of the players in there are from the likes of the Egyptian League, lower MLS, Championship and other random leagues. On the occasions I've seen us perform well, we've been 10 times more wasteful than Villa. Chance on top of chance with horrible end product. They are quick and can get forward, but can't finish for high hell. Edited October 27, 2021 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 He's on absolute fire. Honestly if I was bringing on a sub to win a game right now in the PL it would be him over Watkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCL is only 24 to be fair so will probably pick up the mantle in a couple of years. ollie too obviously. greenwood is only 20 but is he a striker? i think there's definitely an opportunity for someone in a few years time edit: toney has already rejected the chance to play for Jamaica so think that ship has sailed.

He reminds me of Defoe or Vardy....lightning quick, with a good first touch....looks a real prospect to me....needs games to develop further.

Laughable Chimp Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) I would honestly just give him the first 45 minutes against West Ham and drop both Ings and Watkins. See what he can do. It'd be hard for him to play himself into the side otherwise with the miniscule amount of minutes he gets as a late sub if he even comes on.

OutByEaster? Posted October 27, 2021 Moderator Share Posted October 27, 2021 He's in a brilliant run of form, but he's nowhere near the quality of Ings or Watkins. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 If Ings and Watkins were to get injured then Davis is would be in the team ahead of Archer, it's not that Davis is better than Archer, but he's more likely to get selected to play the lone striker role. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I’d give him a start on the wing, Bailey the other side and Watkins up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
