Keita Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 What are your thoughts on Wilson so far? He's very comfortable on the ball, I have high hopes for him. Reminds me of Agger a little.
Benzo-13 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 He's the ideal stand in for Agger.Got the same attributes.
mofus77 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 He's never a left back Not in a million years.Does look fairly composed and tries to use the ball well though.
Eskimo Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Difficult to judge as he was playing out of position but defensively he looked OK I though, at least I don't remember any mistakes. What did stand out for me was his aerial ability think he won almost every ball he went for..
Chili Palmer Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 He's never a left back No, but he will be a quality Centre back imo. Reads the game very very well. I actually like how we are handling him and introducing him in slowly.
Leo No.8 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) To me he looks a good player not playing in his proper position - think he has loads of potential as a centre half here as he reads the game well and is very assured on the ball. Agree he is an ideal apprentice for Agger, and he'll get chances to step in for him. Positionally at left back, he just didn't really know when to get forward etc. which you can't blame him for. He played it safe which is fair enough all things considered. Edited February 25, 2011 by Leo No.8
Swipe Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Looks very steady. Not a left back though, as has been said.
Malcolm Bliss Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Looks very steady. Not a left back though, as has been said. There was an interview on the Offal when he first moved here from Rangers. It was with someone who had coached him (I think) in Scotland. The question was asked, whether he could play other positions, like left back. The answer was an unequivocal no. He is a central defender.

Think he did play at LB for Rangers on a few occasions but yeah it's obvious he should only be played there as a stopgap.

libero Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 The Rangers fans I know were gutted when they sold him to us.
Mike Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 looks a good prospect, not the biggest lad in the world though.
Conrad Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 promising - but hard to say until he's had a few matches at centre back
Falconhoof Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 looks a good prospect, not the biggest lad in the world though. tall enough, but looks skinny. Looks like Kelly has been doing upper body work though, he's a bit stronger.
Silencio Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 What are your thoughts on Wilson so far? He's very comfortable on the ball, I have high hopes for him. Reminds me of Agger a little. Sorry, but don't you have to change your username? Show us some consideration...
Keita Posted February 26, 2011 Author Posted February 26, 2011 Sorry, but don't you have to change your username? Show us some consideration... I cant, I have tried, You can only do one change a year, I done mine last June.
RedMersey Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 He seems a bit prone to hitting it long Skrtel style. Needs to keep calm and look for shorter options if we don't want to give the ball away. Our players up front are normally without a chance of winning a long ball in an aerial battle.
Spion kop Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 looks a good prospect, not the biggest lad in the world though.Paired with Kelly I think their strengths and weaknesses can compliment each other. He seems a bit prone to hitting it long Skrtel style. Needs to keep calm and look for shorter options if we don't want to give the ball away. Our players up front are normally without a chance of winning a long ball in an aerial battle.I think that was a deliberate tactic rather then an indication of panic or a tendency to hit it long, He was constantly looking for cole beyond their right back
Rex Ham Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Isn't the biggest but seems commanding in the air and comfortable with the ball. Now that we have a proper coaching setup I fully expect him to start making a centre half spot his.
Maldini Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 6'1 and a half apparently, needs to bulk up a bit though.
Lark Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 he's s****. I've made my decision on the two or three games he's played at left back.
muleskinner Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 We need a left back badly, he isn't the answer. Neither is Johnson.
Joppo Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Isn't the biggest but seems commanding in the air and comfortable with the ball. Now that we have a proper coaching setup I fully expect him to start making a centre half spot his. Serious question but what are you basing this on as when I´ve seen him so far in a red shirt he´s neither of those and today he never won a header and seems to hoof the ball rather being able to play it out from the back like Agger? Granted he played LB today but even so the qualtiies you mention should still hold.
