Lawrie Wilson is a very good player IMO. Has great fitness and is a bigger attacking threat than given credit for.
completely agree. we were saying before the Watford game (knowing nothing of how long solly would be out for) that Wilson deserved to keep his place for the game even if solly did come back.
Given that Wilson was surely always intended to be cover/ Plan B in case Solly got injured, I really don't think we can be too critical. Is he as good as Solly? Not really. But is he decent cover and a decent player? Yes he is. He's not done anything this season to suggest Solly will just walk straight back into the team - definitely not if we persevere with the 3-5-2 that seems to suit Wilson well.
Too late now boys! Reckon Quality out for another 3 weeks or so. Of course he's our best right back but not so sure that he is our best right wing back but what do I know ....
He can tackle...its just his positional sense that worries me. As a RB when he first came i thought he was absolutely dreadful, but now he's settled and looks a lot more accomplished, he could probably do a job there.
Wilson suffers from playing a similar position to Solly. As soon as Wilson plays, some of our fans compare him directly to golden boy Solly and he immediately gets branded as 'rubbish' and 'useless'. Give the guy credit, he has been decent this season and deserves his place in the side. He is a good player who perhaps just needs a little more consistency.
Agree with the above comment that we need Yann back tomorrow more than we need Solly!
The right-back is continuing his recuperation from a knee injury and Powell is keen not to rush his reigning Player of the Year back into action.
He explained: “His injury is going to be a bit longer than we first expected which is a shame for him. We will have to nurse him and make sure he is right when he comes back.
“He started to train last week but was still in a bit of discomfort a day or two after. We have got to make sure he is OK because he is a key player and has been for the last two years. I want to make sure he is right and ready when he says, and we say, he is.
“It’s a knee problem. You have got to take your time with them, it is a key area and I am sure when Chris says he is ready then he will be ready. We have got to look out for him because it is the bigger picture. I don’t want him just for a game or two - I want him available and ready for selection in the remaining games of the season.”
if chris solly gets injured too much that is a good 100k of his transfer value, we're not made of money, if january is going to happen. lol jk he'll be playin tomoz
If the rumors are true he wont be leaving if his injury is the same as the problem ledley king had,he plays one games then needs to be rested no prem team would take him, It would explain why he never left in the summer just hope its not the same problem king had cos that could potentially end his career at a very young age.

Where has this been rumoured ?
On here someone posted comments on something Mark Gower had said at Bromley Addicks on the 19th September Gower apparently said Solly has had injections and mentioned Ledley King as a example i was not there which is why i only said rumored because it seems like that's what Gower said which is a bit worrying to me

Who plays left mid for the scum?
Inconsistent last season but this season has been excellent in defence and attack. Its not even a matter for debate.

I may have slightly overreacted here with exaggerated cynicism. Calm down!
Move on.
