Have to say I was surprised to see this this morning!
He’s got next to go chance of winning it - the clean sheets were down to the change in tactics and the defensive displays - we’ve got something like 3 cleans sheets out of the last 10 games.I would love him to win this, if only to see some of you saying how crap he still is and that the stats are meaningless due to the quality of shots he hasnt had to save, he's always been a number 2 and we need an upgrade. Not quite sure what some of you want. As Marosi Burge Moore or RCC are now all plying their trade in the Premier League it's much easier to hate on the man between the sticks rather than admit you might have got it wrong.
Good luck Ben! hopefully a few more to help us into the top 10 and maybe a play off push. Next 8 games are massive!
Why would you want to sell someone who kept 17 consecutive clean sheets and 29 in total? I do realise it was partly tongue in cheek, but there would be some wanting that still and simply demonstrates how some have pre-conceived opinions and arent prepared to change them?I hope he wins it as I dont want us to concede another goal all season and we might also be able to sell him in the summer!
Let’s hope we can keep hold of him this summer!Why would you want to sell someone who kept 17 consecutive clean sheets and 29 in total?

Because the clean sheets don’t have as much to do with him as some people think. If we could find a club who feels the opposite then we could get a great deal for ourselves.Why would you want to sell someone who kept 17 consecutive clean sheets and 29 in total?

Saying that Ben Wilson is one of the division’s best keepers because of all the clean sheets is like saying Ringo Starr is one of the best drummers in history because he was in The Beatles.

I like Wilson, seems a good lad, and has made some excellent saves since he's come into the team. He's a No 2 though. If we went up I would still happily keep him (but as a No 2). He's too nervy, distribution poor and can get bullied at set pieces as he's not the tallest. Having seen the horror shows that Simon Moore produced this season, he has rightfully got the shirt until the end of the season.
And obviously a very good teacher as his son is even betterRingo Starr was/still is a very good drummer to be fair.
Clean sheets dont have much to do with the GK? Ok fk it lets play with 11 outfield players and see how we get on. Again you're seeing what you want to see rather than what the stats are telling you. I know stats can be skewed, I'm not saying he's Gordon Banks, but if you think that he's not contributed to our success then you must be blind. He's also improved massively with a run of games and his decision making is much better. Kicking is still shite though I'll give you that.Because the clean sheets don’t have as much to do with him as some people think.

His son's terrific.And obviously a very good teacher as his son is even better
According to John Lennon Ringo wasn’t even the best drummer in the Beatles.Saying that Ben Wilson is one of the division’s best keepers because of all the clean sheets is like saying Ringo Starr is one of the best drummers in history because he was in The Beatles.

Ringo might look at his bank balance next time somebody says that to himAccording to John Lennon Ringo wasn’t even the best drummer in the Beatles.
It probably is the lowest of all of the Beatles (I guess you'd have to work out the estate values of Harrison and Lennon), unless his narrating job for Thomas the Tank Engine paid particularly well.Ringo might look at his bank balance next time somebody says that to him

Would more likely depend on his investments. His Roalties income would be the lowest though, although he's probably still worth hundreds of millions.It probably is the lowest of all of the Beatles (I guess you'd have to work out the estate values of Harrison and Lennon), unless his narrating job for Thomas the Tank Engine paid particularly well.

Clean Sheets is a stat to judge a team on, not an individual. Wilson keeps (or kept) a lot of clean sheets as he faces far fewer shots & especially far fewer quality shots than most keepers in the league.
Is that the same for goalscorers too most rely on good service.Clean Sheets is a stat to judge a team on, not an individual. Wilson keeps (or kept) a lot of clean sheets as he faces far fewer shots & especially far fewer quality shots than most keepers in the league.
To a point which is why we have things like xG & other statistics.Is that the same for goalscorers too most rely on good service.
