It's coming home?

What a great late winner from Ollie Watkins for England last night. My WHU pal Matt has to take much of the credit for declaring, "Watkins hasn't done much" six seconds before Ollie scored. In a different world the Irons might have signed Watkins rather than Said Benrahma from Brentford, which would have solved our long-standing striker problem. David Moyes might have enjoyed an 81st minute substitute winning the game. He used to get all sorts of stick for his late reactive substitutions, as has Southgate, but mainly the England gaffer's substitutions have altered games. Perhaps Gareth does know what he's doing, though England got very lucky with that ridiculous VAR penalty. Now let's hope that Jarrod Bowen gets to come on in the final. If the game is close Southgate will surely keep on Saka, but if he wants someone to work hard and run down the clock Jarrod just might get a chance late on. Come on you Lions!
