Instinct, goalscoring streaks & big chances missed... what to do with Ollie Watkins?

Dan Rolinson and John Townley address the always relevant Ollie Watkins debate. When is the right time to cash in? Can Villa improve on that postion? If not Watkins, who could play up front for Emery? It's not as easy to say you either love him or hate him, nor is he a brilliant footballer or a terrible one. Ollie Watkins is a great footballer who will reliably score goals and be available, but he is not without flaws. 🎙🎙 The Claret & Blue MAILBAG: https://forms.gle/4R4kq4g1Ffta5xWW6 Sponsored by Saily, for the more information: https://saily.com/claretandblue Follow us on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/claretbluepod.bsky.social Dan Rolinson: https://bsky.app/profile/danrolinson.bsky.social John Townley: https://bsky.app/profile/johntownley.bsky.social Learn more about your ad choices.

😁😁😁😁😁😬😬

Always a good listen, grew up in Aldridge, moved over to the US in 1982, gave up my European Cup final ticket to fly to the states ☹️. Spent many a game standing in the Holte end.
Decent content…
