That was special. Not many save them in top bins like that.

We don’t even give the free kick away in the first place if he was any good at kicking.

The one in the second half was pretty sharp as well. He wouldn’t have seen much of that!

An undeniable truth. Also cost Eccles a booking.

His improvement this season has been incredible, to the point where he'd easily get another Championship club if we let him go. Most improved player by a long chalk imo.

I was completely wrong about him. Wouldn’t even have had him as second choice going into this season. And now he’s arguably 2nd in the player of the season charts.

Improving all the time

I wasn't sold on him as a number 1 and I agree that jury is still out on that but it was ridiculous some on here made out he was truly terrible.

Its a good job you have an excellent track record in on judging players, otherwise we might be tempted to dismiss your assessment of him.

The trust with him and the defence has grown and grown. Just a shame that 5 of our defenders won't be here next season

What a stupid thing to say for someone with 19 clean sheets. Literally brainless.

For a keeper who nobody wanted not even as a number 2 in league 1 - we could now command a fee for him if sold

He has weaknesses clearly, but is an excellent shot stopper, and more importantly the defence now have confidence in him.

2 or 3 more clean sheets and you could argue he's been player of the season.
I can't really understand the critic's, of course he has areas that could improve, but his record speaks for itself.

If he'd been in from the start of the season we'd be in the tip 6 comfortably.

His weaknesses apparently are clean sheets

We all know he isn’t the complete product, but his improvement has been undeniable - and saves like today are very much a part of why we are where we are.

Criticism of him at this point point seems strange and bitter.

He's gone from a liability to a solid championship keeper.

Fair play to him

And I guess Aled Williams deserves some credit too.

His improvement has been incredible and whilst his kicking isnt consistently good i feel he fully deserves a place as a 1st choice Championship keeper. To have gone from L2 reserve to that is pretty impressive and a massive credit to him and the coaching staff.

It was a great save. his starting position was good, he was very central (a lot of keepers let the wall do the job and stand further to the other side), and Chairs freekick didn't quite have the pace, but he did well to get across to save it. His save in the second half was better, it was hit with more power and although he didn't have far to move he did really well to save it and push it away from danger.

He's always been a decent shot stopper, but it's his crosses and kicking that lets him down. It was his poor kick that led to the freekick in the first place.

Fair play to him though, he's took his chance and been really solid albeit with those weaknesses. The clean sheet record is incredible, but it does feel that the last few cleansheets have been more down Wilson's saves than earlier in the season when we were defensively strong and limiting opposition chances, so again fair play to him for producing when it matters.

I think I'd have been in agreement earlier in the season that Wilson wasn't what we needed .. I think he's improved an awful lot this year , he's not great from the cross though .

I think robins will go into next year with him as number 1

I was a big critic of Wilson up until recently. He doesn't give me heart palpitations anymore, which is the biggest compliment I can give him. Had a very solid run of it since the World Cup I'd say.

He has been a number 2 for most of his career to be fair.

But probably worth moving on as he'll be on a high wage for us to sit on the bench, the money could be better used elsewhere.
