We picked up a couple of results in his absence. He's played pretty much every game for 2 and a half years and is only young. Guess they don't want to risk him when it's not essential, give him a rest and let him recover properly.
I'm sure in the lead up to the Watford game, Powell suggested that he was hopeful that Solly would be included in the squad, so he can't be that far off.
Wilson wasn't excellent last night, unfortunately.
Fair enough, I wasn't there so can't comment but both having played 3, Wilson has a much higher avg rating than Solly this year against better opposition. Not suggesting Wilsons the better player, just praising him as to be honest I didn't rate him much prior to his recent run in the team.
I know he had an injection in his knee last Thursday & was expected to be on the bench at Watford.
I always worry when I hear about such injections, as to me (a non medical expert) injections don't solve the underlying problem in such injuries, but rather merely ease the symptoms
Didn't Solly have a long term injury the season Jenkinson played?
I wonder if there could be a connection?
Weren't they both right backs Len? :0)
They were indeed, although Jenks played most of his matches for us on the left, and Solly was ahead in the pecking order but, because of Solly's injury, Jenkinson was selected.

wilson is awful....please let chris be fit for saturday
In what way is he awful?
Please just watch him closely next time you go. He hides ALOT. Never wants the ball, passes sideways/backwards most of the time. fair enough he runs up and down the line but how many times does he actually make a tackle? (Before everyone goes crazy yes I know he made a wonder tackle at Watford but that is the exception rather than the norm) the boro game was a classic example, he lost the ball on the halfway line due to being scared to pass te ball forward, boro then broke, Wilson didn't chase and track back his man and boom, they scored.
I think he just isn't cut out for this level. I don't think he can handle the pressure of playing in our team/stadium and his confidence had suffered as a result. There was a reason he was released the first time. I would love to be proven wrong, honestly I would, but I just can't see it happening (cue a brace on Saturday and hero status!)

I said awful but terrible works....to be fair charlton life player ratings don't really prove your point.....maybe some real stats and last seasons at that may be a fairer indication than 3 games played this
Must admit I had pretty much written Wilson off last season but he does seem to have stepped up this year and the 3-5-2 formation suits him. Still think Solly walks back into the side when he's fit but not a bad option to have available.
Wilson is fine as a wing back in a 3-5-2 formation, especially as Morrison is almost playing as a RB for much of the time (taking many throws for example) but isn't a RB when playing 4-4-2 as we found last season...

JOKE!

EDIT: I'm going to say whooooosh ! to myself

Page three would suggest you're incorrect in your assessment that Wilson's "terrible".
