Don’t forget that Wilson is good at shouting though
I'm not convinced, it's close, he'd made some massive saves but I think people are forgetting the massive saves Dovin made in that run the end of last season, he was virtually MOTM in every game. Rushworth has made some great saves at key points though. Dovins distribution is miles better.Rushworth > Dovin.![]()
They’ve both had the same growth which is quite funny. Do think people forget just how good Dovin was before he tore his ACL. I’d say at his peak last season he was better than Rushworth’s been so far this year but they’re both excellent keepers.Rushworth > Dovin.![]()
There are some absolute pearlers in the first few pages of this thread.
It’s not close, Rushworth is the far superior keeper.I'm not convinced, it's close, he'd made some massive saves but I think people are forgetting the massive saves Dovin made in that run the end of last season, he was virtually MOTM in every game.

Based on what?It’s not close, Rushworth is the far superior keeper.
Rushworth better with crosses ….Based on what?
Dovin’s shot stopping stats are better. They’re both good with their feet. Rushworth is obviously getting the benefit of playing for a table topping team.

I agree with the distribution, at times we lose the ball through Rushworth. But some of the saves have been brilliantPeople forgetting just how good Dovin was pre ACL, if he comes back the same player we need to file a petition to be able to start 2 keepers.
Dovin for me edges it, Im not convinced with Rushworths distribution still but he’s a quality keeper at this level
100%, cannot discount his actual goalkeeping ability he’s a top shot stopperI agree with the distribution, at times we lose the ball through Rushworth. But some of the saves have been brilliant
Nobody has ever denied Wilson is a great person to have around the team. However to say he is good enough to be in a top end championship team on ability alone is a bit of a stretch.All of our keepers have elements of their game which they excel at and elements which require improvement.
Rushworth is now distributing better than he did when he first came, looking for the quick release counter whereas before he’d not. It doesn’t always work but it keeps opponents on their toes. I’d like him to call for the ball more and hopefully that par if his game will too improve. I’d like to think he’s taken the elements where Wilson was quite good and begun to add them to his own game.
Tne Wilson bashing I don’t understand. He won a golden glove and got new keepers purchased ahead of him. He had to sit by and watch clown Collins. He saw Dovin come in. Has he moaned or just been an effervescent positive character in the squad?
Rushworth has now clearly overtaken Wilson where before he wasn’t the finished article. Nothing wrong with admitting that, but let’s give Wilson some credit for being a solid squad member and “team” player.
Rushworth is more Commanding in the penalty area (prefers to catch crosses than punch).I'm not convinced, it's close, he'd made some massive saves but I think people are forgetting the massive saves Dovin made in that run the end of last season, he was virtually MOTM in every game.

Rushworth has always been far, far superior to Wilson, to say otherwise is just nonsense.All of our keepers have elements of their game which they excel at and elements which require improvement.

Tne Wilson bashing I don’t understand. After a long career of sitting and waiting he won a golden glove and subsequently got new keepers purchased ahead of him. He had to sit by and watch clown Collins. He saw Dovin come in. Has he moaned or just been an effervescent positive character in the squad? A lot of keepers would have thrown a strop.
