As poor as he was against Blackpool there was no way MR was going to drop him after one bad game.
Moore had 3 absolute shockers in a row before being dropped.
Lost impressive for me is twofold
He was poor against Blackpool and you could argue could have done much better for the 2 goals
What was MR’s response?
Believe in him
His performances since then have been excellent. The save against Watford being the highlight
Different when it’s deemed your second choiceAs poor as he was against Blackpool there was no way MR was going to drop him after one bad game.

Yes but he's faced barely any shots per Frostie's post above.Best save percentage in the division and best defence as well!
City’s no 1!

What is Save Percentage? Isn't that the percentage of shots saved out of how many faced?
The flip side of that though is that he kills time, races out like a maniac occasionally, falls on the ball, distributes differently and organises things in a different way that mean he doesnt have to face those scenarios as often. If he's playing to his strengths and avoiding situations that's also good.Yep. Basically because we’ve restricted teams to long shots mostly he’s faced not many and most have been the sort you’d expect to save. As @Frostie often points out there’s a better stat that reflects the quality of shots faced, dunno if he’s got that handy for Wilson. I’d expect he looks a lot worse on that.

2 v Rotherham, 1 v Blackpool and 1 v Burnley are the only ones conceded since those early two at Luton 14+ games ago, he'll do for me. Has more clean sheets for the club now than Moore too and in a lot less games.
Those 2 against Rotherham were pretty shocking, certainly the first he was caught in no man's land.2 v Rotherham, 1 v Blackpool and 1 v Burnley are the only ones conceded since those early two at Luton 14+ games ago, he'll do for me.

I mentioned during the game that we got away with it. He’d be fine as back up next season but we need to get a proper number one in.No one seems to have commented on Wilson pulling out from diving at the QPR players feet (Chair I think) in the 1st half, when he ended up putting the ball in the side netting. Wilson has previous form for recklessly diving in on similar occasions in the last few years and conceding a penalty, so it was encouraging to see him making a more level headed decision. I know it could be argued that Chair might have still scored, but that was far more difficult than scoring from the penalty spot, which was the likely alternative if Wilson had dived in, so fair do's to him.
Of course not, but that's an awful comparison and we were also L2 thenWould you get Reece Charles-Cook back? All time clean sheets in a row record holder…
We were in League One.Of course not, but that's an awful comparison and we were also L2 then
Just watched all 3 highlights back.Those 2 against Rotherham were pretty shocking, certainly the first he was caught in no man's land.
Both against Blackpool were shite too and if i'm being really critical, that Burnley shot could have been saved.
However, he's made some saves, he's tightening up on his wild and rash actions since him and the GK coach had a heart to heart and he's doing well.
Of course not, but that's an awful comparison and we were also L2 then
He’ll do a job until the end of the season but it’s a position we need to concentrate on in the summer.
I'll take a shit keeper who gets clean sheets all day long.Just making the point that clean sheets alone don’t tell you much about the quality of a keeper.

Fk me some of you will quote any old shite if it proves our players aren't good enough to suit your agenda. I wonder at times if half the people on this forum even support City.
Surely my JP profile picture is enough to persuade youFk me some of you will quote any old shite if it proves our players aren't good enough to suit your agenda. I wonder at times if half the people on this forum even support City.
Their shot looked as if it was going in as soon as he struck it.
Was a great save.
Touche! My opinion is that I don't always look for the negative. Maybe forums aren't for you?If adult discussion about the strengths and weaknesses of our players upsets you, maybe internet football forums aren’t for you.
We all support Wilson, we all wish him the best, we’re just saying the stats don’t support the idea he’s the best keeper in the league, at all.
But he's clearly nowhere near as bad as likes of @Sick Boy made out is he?If adult discussion about the strengths and weaknesses of our players upsets you, maybe internet football forums aren’t for you.

I know you rate him highly but I can’t see there being a queue of Championship clubs trying to sign him as we go into the new year and his deal runs out.But he's clearly nowhere near as bad as likes of @Sick Boy made out is he?
Why do you keep saying this? You are getting too defensive and trying to avoid saying you got it wrong.I know you rate him highly but I can’t see there being a queue of Championship clubs trying to sign him as we go into the new year and his deal runs out.
He’s fine as back up but he’s not good enough to be our number one.
Weren't you saying this sort of stuff about Hyam though?I know you rate him highly but I can’t see there being a queue of Championship clubs trying to sign him as we go into the new year and his deal runs out.
