SeparateEntityMyArse 53,802 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Didn't see game yesterday so don't know if this thread is an overreaction. But Wilson is not a great CH. He gets bullied off the ball, doesn't dominate in the air, and thinks his range of passing is far better than it is. He's also prone to individual errors. With Herts he seemed to dominate; with us he seems more like a boy in a man's game at times. If I were opposition manager I'd pinpoint him as the weak link.

Its just the usual from us as fans one player is picked out for the abuse when things are going badly no matter how many other players are as bad! He got slated day in, day out at that time. Kiernan use to get slated a lot when he started too, specially since he gave away a lot of silly goals (first game against alloa that went 5-1) Foddy comes under fire allot, same with McKay, Miller and recently Waghorn too. I think Wallace is the only one that goes without harsh judgement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyRice1872 105 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 How about just not trying to blame a specific player, because, apart from not scoring, no specific players were really the only ones at fault It's probably the cool thing to do right enough, to try and pretend you know what you are talking about and try push the blame onto specific players, instead of just saying, ah, we were unlucky today but we will win the league and Alloa will be relegated, form is temporary class is permanent let's support our team Efe Ambrose makes more costly, and more numerous errors than our entire defence by the look of it, but yet on here our defence get slated for no reason week on week, even if we don't concede, if I looked at Kerryfail st I doubt they sit and slate/try to slaughter Ambrose every week like some peopel try to make our players scapegoats Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivybank 4,589 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Wilson is journeyman Scottish player,not great not rubbish just average,why do you think Liverpool and hearts let him go? My mate who's a Liverpool season ticket holder for 30 years watched him when he went down there in reserve games and league cup games and said he was the slowest player he had ever seen. even hearts fans weren't too fussed when he left,that must tell you something,nobody ever says,pundits or people within football that Wilson is a good player,he won't be good enough for the top division,we can do far better than him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I couldn't give a fuck what one of the most deluded sets of fans in the world thinks, and Scottish fans who've just lost their captain to Rangers are hardly a barometer to trust. Hearts tried to keep him, and he exercised a clause in his contract to leave for free. He had another year on his deal, but triggered a break clause to join us. He's being targeted unfairly, when the likes of Wallace and Tavernier have been far more culpable defensively this season. Not so much at Ibrox, but online here, which says it all.

TonyRice1872 105 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 If you watch the highlights of the last two games, Wilson hit a header off the bar against Kilmarnock at about 70 mins, and he also nearly scored into the top corner yesterday from a shot inside the box which forced their keeper into a bit of a wonder save. I think he has looked resolute in recent weeks, along with Kiernan and apart from a lucky corner yesterday they have been solid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 TBH in this league we don't get put under a lot of pressure as the stat's bear out with us having a consistent 70% of possession in games. That is an amazing statistic in any league. The amount of chances we create are phenomenal, we just at times fail to put those chances away and no surprise at times when we have to get through 10 defenders camped in their box. The few chances that opposition do get are generally at dead ball situations and counter attacks and that's when we get punished. Not many mind you as our opposition just don't get into our half that often. LBH the weakness is there. Wilson is not alone in this. Tav can and does have difficulty getting back and Keirnan can be vulnerable as Wilson at times. The difference might just be in attitude. Wilson is not the fastest for sure, but he is a big lad and should be more fearsome. As I've said previously, he also doesn't appear to read the game well with too many mistimed or deliberate bad tackles. Now if he could read the game better his lack of pace wouldn't be an issue. If that could be fixed, we would see a different player that you would have great confidence in. It may just be a mental thing with him just now that can be fixed, I don't know. I do hope he can step up to the next level, as it's more to our benefit than not, in having to bring in someone new. There would be nothing better than for this lad to take the next step up. We will not lose this league and in the extremely unlikely event that we did, it wouldn't be down to Wilson. Some say there are others to blame or can be singled out, but it shouldn't be about blaming anyone and I would also like to point out that this thread IS about Wilson and therefore it is expected that his attributes will be dissected for better or worse. Yes, there are others, indeed more skilled, who could/should be performing better, but they are human, not machines, but again, the thread is about Wilson, but he should not be blamed for anything, nor should others. It's not what this should be about. People do have varied opinions in what they think a player is, so no need to get so upset about it. We play good football, a great system and IMO as a team and with our team sprit, no one comes near us. Never since the days of Laudrup and Gazza, the Hammer and Hateley and there likes graced the field, have I seen our football so good without any superstars. Sure, we need some fine tuning and a couple more players of quality, but we have a lot to be proud of and much to look forward to. Maybe better we didn't have threads about individual players, as human nature is, he will be dissected to death and some will get upset.
