He’s a keeper? You pick your number one and stick with him for longer than 6 games ffs. Confidence is more important for them than any other player on the pitch.
It’s not about Wilson himself. It’s the fact we’ve spent a decent fee on a young keeper with a long contract yet 6 games in after doing nothing wrong he’s been dropped. Just fucking stupid management.
Robins just doesn’t know how to manage keepers does he. Wilson will drop a clanger in a few weeks and Dovin will come back in, but this time he’ll be looking over his shoulder knowing he could be sacked off at any moment.
Starting 11
Presumably not EMC, Wright, Sakamoto, Lati, Binks, or Collins
Definitely not Simms, Thomas, Dovin or Wilson
Assume it isn't a new singing either
Who does that leave? Sheaf, Eccles, Bidwell, Dasilva, MVE?
I feel the same about Wright, Simms and Thomas tbh. Just pick an 11 and stick to it for a month at this point. I'd go:
Dovin
Milan
Thomas
Kitching
Dasilva
Sheaf
Eccles
Rudoni
Wright
Simms
Sakamoto
Only change in case of injury/fatigue.
I think he needs minutes to find his confidence again. Before his injury he was going past players with ease, now he looks a bit nervous. That only comes with game time.
League table means little at this stage. Blackburn were crap last year and lost Szmodics.
With the quality we have in the squad we should be a match for almost anyone, especially at home. I would not be happy with another loss.
I don't want him gone. But results have to improve fast. If we don't win either of these two home games it will be our worst start since we returned to the championship, with arguably our best squad.
Also the performances against Wolves/United/Spurs etc are a separate beast from the...
Worried the crowd could really turn on the team tomorrow. Go 1-0 down, especially first half and it could get ugly.
If we fail to win either of these home games we’re really in dire straits.
