Depends on how you spin stats, Some will say he's only scored 2 goals in 14 games and others will say he's scored 2 goals in 185 minutes the second figure working out to a goal a game.
One figure used to make him look bad and the other to make him look good but a blind man on a galloping horse can see he is a player for the near future.
I don't think most strikers are solely judged on goals these days.Depends on how you spin stats, Some will say he's only scored 2 goals in 14 games and others will say he's scored 2 goals in 185 minutes the second figure working out to a goal a game.

His shooting and instinct in front of goal looks fantastic.
It's more his hold up play, football intelligence and petulance he needs to work on.
Indeed. Which is why I've consistantly said he's got potential and I'm not writing him off, but he's not ready yet.All things that will improve so long as he puts the work in. You can teach a big strong lad how to hold the ball up and lay it off. You can't really teach the stuff he's already instinctively good at.
I agree but we've managed with Watkins hold up play and he still couldn't hold up a bank with a 12 bore never mind hold up a football.I don't think most strikers are solely judged on goals these days.

Graham Taylor on Steve Bull, first touch he miscontrols, second touch, he puts it in the net. Ollie is a pain in the arse for defenders but yes l would prefer a Centre Forward with the finishing of Kane, the heading of John Charles and the left foot of Maradona.

I think Duran being South American, touch will be a bit less robotic than Ollie once he gets his chance.
Any fans here got a Biology O level? Transplant Peter Withes left foot and cunning to Ollies work rate, game set and match. Watkins, in the round,is a top player and has improved season by season.Watkins hold up play is decent some games and abysmal others. Its adding consistency he needs

I think it's very robotic like Gabby was, you can see the cogs turning as the ball comes to him, it's not a natural action. He has got better but he's a long way from a natural footballer.Watkins hold up play is decent some games and abysmal others. Its adding consistency he needs
Blimey. Imagine if we were after this guy under previous managers. Shit would hit the fan. Refreshing that we trust the manager 100% and realise there is method and reason to this potential signing.
Yeah , but to be fair, most of the excitement is coming from the bizarre hatred of Duran and the desperation to get rid of him for some reason ( that reason being he is not Cameron Archer obviously) .
