Yeah, this really.
If Wilson still can't get a game now then what's the point of him being here and signing a new contract.
Don't buy the whole thing about not being fit, he's on the bench FFS. What happens if Collins gets injured or sent off after 20 minutes? Then he'll have to come on...
That's just the problem though, they won't struggle, they will at worst still be in the top 6 and make the play-offs.
The gulf between the 2 leagues is colossal and getting bigger every year.
Had us down to lose last night, so in isolation not a disaster, but losing Dovin is, he's head and shoulders better than the other keepers.
His absence costs us points, no question IMO, the knock on effect to the confidence in the rest of the defence could be pivotol.
I'd still have Wilson...
Shit, gutted for him, but it was his own doing, should've just cleared it instead of trying to be clever.
I also can't work out why Wilson signs a new contract but still can't get on.
I think we'll lose this one (hopefully i'm wrong), but I don't think we'll lose any of the other 7 games left afterwards.
No question (on paper at least) this is the hardest game we have left to play.
We had one from when they came in the late 90s until we went to Northampton as we didn't have ST's.
They were great and there were only a couple of hundred of us i believe, be interesting to see how many would apply if they brought them back.
As bad as we were last night, that's fucking atrocious from the linesman.
Puts things in perspective a little bit, yes we've conceded goals in the last few games, but the one vs Preston (offside), 2nd vs Stoke (offside) and the 2nd last night, none of them should've stood.
We always knew there would be a big reaction when we lost a game, and if we're honest we've ridden our luck a little bit over the last few games, but the main thing now is not to over react too much, I still think we have a great chance of beating Sunderland on Saturday, then we have 2 weeks for...
