Wilson is a non starter now really, he’s a massive downgrade with the ball at his feet which is clearly important to how Robins wants to play. Fine as a backup in case of injury.
Nitpicking. We gave a premier league full back all the time and space in the world to pick out an unmarked player in the middle. To blame it on the keeper is a witch hunt.
Doubt he’ll get a look in for 3/4 years at least- Kane, Watkins, Toney, Solanke then even Wilson, DCL and Abraham. He’d have to be making a serious mark in the prem to challenge any of those.
You think 20% of our goals are keeper errors? lol
The benefit is essentially having an extra player in possession when compared to a keeper who can’t use his feet. I hope I don’t have to explain why that’s a good thing.
That's completely ignoring the benefits it gives you though.
I suppose by that logic we should revert to 442 big man little man route one cross it in the box since we can't possibly sign good footballers on our measly budget.
People getting their panties in a twist.
We’ve gone through 3 keepers in 2 seasons. Sticking with one and giving him a bit of confidence will do us some good.
Either Mark Robins is a much stupider man than I thought and has told people he doesn’t rate his own players, or this is the opinion of someone else and therefore essentially worthless.
