bobzy Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 3 minutes ago, PieFacE said: I think Ollie has been good this season in general. He's had a few stinkers where the ball bounces off him but he's had more good than bad. He's getting pretty much 0 service. It's not like he's missing loads of chances, he's barely getting anything. He's almost not there to score goals. His hold up play has been much better - but he's so, so isolated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of thankless running. It’s not what Ings is good at. He is far from being a lazy player - not as mobile as Watkins but his other attributes do even things out.

IrishVilla10 Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 We’re 18th in the league for big chances created, not sure what we expect from our strikers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep they are being starved. Haaland for example would struggle to get 5 goals in this team Its hard to think of many clear cut chances Watkins/Ings have missed this season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 There’s too much distance between the defence and midfield and the forwards. That’s why Ollie is isolated. Dean Smith (when Ollie scored 14 and played wonderfully well) had much shorter distances between the players hence Ollie flourished. His control has been poor though over the last year.

skarroki Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 We must put a lot of money into the realistic cgi effects that show Watkins to be competent at finishing in training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.Bear Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Everything bad about Watkins tonight. Can't finish, isnt confident he can finish and in games like this, we absolutely need someone who can. Immensely frustrating player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 It's mental how blinded people are over him cause he runs around a bit. I've never seen a worse finisher in all my life. Like I said, worst striker in the league by a distance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
