I’m amazed that people can’t remember how bad Wilson was in the play-offs. Dovin didn’t really do anything wrong at the start of last season either so Robins’ chopping and changing didn’t really help. Rushworth will hopefully be very good for us so let’s keep him in the team and let him grow.

I reckon he’ll end up being our number 1 all season.

I don’t think there’s any doubt that at the very least he’s a bog-standard/replacement level keeper, which is more than we could say for our GKs for most of the last few seasons. And it’s quite likely there’s more to come from him too. Would it have been good value at £5.5 million, probably not, but for a loan signing I think he’s well worth it.

Someone (think it was @HuckerbyDublinWhelan) floated the idea that he lacks concentration. Looked back and when he was at Swansea he was facing an average of 5 shots per match - until today that was 2 per match with us. It’s a slightly different skillset dependent on how busy you are and my gut feel is that he probably does struggle with concentration but there was enough coming at him today to keep him engaged.

I mentioned that same thing after the QPR game, must be difficult to maintain concentration when you've been a spectator
