CP sees faith in Wilson rewarded at Wolves

Comments

  • The Wilson boo boys on here must be gutted
  • Why would anyone be gutted about a couple of good performances ? Lets be totally frank, as a full back he's constantly caught out of position & when he does find himself up against a wide man he rarely seems able to get a tackle in. If wide midfield is his position & he makes it his own with good performances why would anyone critisise ? We now have returned to having a RB at RB a LB at LB & a wide MF as a wide MF, we have balance & look a more solid unit, happy days!

    What a load of nonsense .
  • News Hopper, you forgot to add that he had opted to play badly in his first few games.
    ;o)

    Really glad Lawrie's doing well. I still remember how disappointed I was when we released him as a youngster so seeing him work his way back up to playing for us is brilliant
  • Just say Solly and Lawrie
  • Wilson's really starting to grow on me as it goes. Very decent going forward.

    Lol he may well have done. I like Wilson, he isn't afraid to get forward as cafctom rightly says and put in a decent cross, even when he was playing at full-back.

  • Wilson impresses every game he plays, though when the "Winger" Dale Stephens returns he will do well to keep his place.

  • Stephens is a luxury player. A luxury we can't currently afford.
  • Wilson is a good player, anyone who actually bothered to watch him when we played Stevenage could see that. He is a much better RM thn he is RB but he got unfair criticism whilst filling in there. Should now make RM position his own because Green and Waggy both blow hot and cold whilst he is much more consistent.

    I don't think shirty5 was being serious
  • I like Wilson and was pleased when we signed him. Seriously pissed me off how much unwarranted stick he's had from some of our fans. Too many of our supporters are just looking for scapegoats.
    Im sure CP took so long in giving Evina a start as he was scared some of our supporters would just lay into him if anything went wrong.
  • My wife likes Wilson... i think its his hair.... i might get a perm :-0

    Well said, he was excellent for Stevenage he may have worn 2 on his back but he was a more than adept midfielder for them

    I agree. I would much rather have a player who is a consistent 6-7/10 than one who can be 8/10 one match and 4/10 the next.*

    As a right back Wilson is adequate at best, as a right sided midfielder he is quite a revelation. Powell did a good bit of business in signing him
  • To save face, let's all agree he's a better winger than a full-back! He had a very poor debut against the O's in a Cup competition our team wasn't up for. He then improved over the next few games, for which he was lambasted by many and then played pretty well in both right and left back berths. He might be better on the right wing but gve the guy credit, it doesn't make him a poor full-back. He's been a very good free signing.
  • £400k rumoured to be the fee.

    £550 K i was told. Could turn out to be a steal .
  • Plenty of heart and good engine.pretty quick and oooooooohhhhh that hair!!!
  • Reminds me of Stephen Hunt.
  • Wilson for England
  • I haven't got any issues with Wilson as a right back - I wouldn't say he has been particularly culpable for goals we have conceeded compared to other defenders. He is an attack minded player so of cours eis going to get caught out more regularly than a defensive minded one, but he will also make more happen at the other end. Of course RM is more his position but if the time came when we needed him to play RB again - a bad game or two from Evina could be an example - I wouldn't have any issues with it.

    Quite simply he is a terrific signing and another to add to Sir Chris's long list.
  • Best player I've seen in a long time to be honest wont be with us long
