He didn't make a mistake at the weekend

he faced one shot on target, He didn't make one against Hull, he didn't have anything to do - i said earlier in the thread, bizarrely i defended him because a guy behind me said he should have saved it.

I have no confidence in him whatsoever when the pressure is on. Leicester for instance will get more than one chance on saturday. He needs to be switched on, QPR showed he lacks concentration, luckily we were 7-0 up.

Like i said, hopefully he has an equally quiet day, as cleansheets will do him the world of good confidence-wise, and then maybe we'll see whether he's actually any good.

So your criticism and concern is that he's had nothing to do

He's cost us 2 points against Oxford, and luckily we scored 5 against Derby and 7 against QPR. As good as we are attacking its not something i'd bank on doing every game.

like you said - lets hope he settles, With Woolfenden - lets hope and assume he's a better defender than Thomas and Kitching. It will also help him out.

I'm a bit dubious on the first goal aswell. Although - I could easily have seen Wilson doing the exact same.

Not a mistake - should have done better. Which is what i see Wilson as. He doesn't make mistakes. Wilson Should do better with some. Case and point Millwalls first goal in the cup. Shouldn't be beaten at the near post

I'd agree with this. He an england U21, theres obviously potential. But We need a goalkeeper now - now after 3 years of development.

The setting up of the wall at Oxford was not his fault. The ball was moved after he set the wall up,the wall should have moved as well.
Or they should have walked up to the ball and complained to the referee.
And Thomas turned his back as the player went to shoot,which is something he does on a regular basis.

Some times keepers are beaten at the near post by a good shot. Think it's a bit of a cliche that keepers should never be beaten at their near post.

depends on how he recovers from mistakes. make a mistake in a crucial match and you get labelled - it sticks with you in football. I'd love for him to have a stormer on saturday and reverse his fortunes.

Not that particular effort. Poor goalkeeping by Wilson that.

I'm not talking to England level, I'm talking to reach his potential as a solid Championship keeper as a minimum

So what you're saying is we won't need him next season as he just won't reach our level?

Neither was I! We've not seen it from him yet. He was towards the bottom of the clean sheet table at Swansea

I am so bored of talking about keepers. It’s been years and years of it being a big topic every season.

Wilson is shite and it is a completely bizarre idea that the devil know you (is shit) is the best option.

I blame Aled Williams - should have told Rushworth to save it instead of letting it in.

Definitely not at fault for the actual goal, but the ball he spilt that was cleared for the throw in which they did score from, he definitely should have held onto and then we wouldn't even be discussing it.

Can just imagine Brian Clough looking down shouting 'Jigsaw! When the ball goes into the box, you go to pieces!'

James Beadle is an England under 21! And he's dreadful! So many players play for England Under teams that never make the cut to ever play in the PL or England senior team.

That's like saying a player is good because he plays for Chelsea/Man City academy's. When in reality, both academy's are scatter gun approach where they have the money to sign anyone who can kick a ball, in the hope they get 1 or 2 calss players out of 800.
