Honestly before he got his run in the team I thought he was properly dogshit. Made an error every time seemed to play and did not have a good reputation
But fair play to him, he's been very good and I, and I'm sure many others, put my hand up and say I got that one wrong.
Marosi has been poor so Wilson fully deserves the shirt.
Also he seems like a great bloke and all the players like him.

It is impressive & I'm certainly not wanting to knock Wilson at all but word of caution that Save Percentage is just about the most unreliable stat there is in football.
Still, some esteemed company there & fair play to him, done far better than everyone expected & is rightly No.1 at the moment.

Marosi was solid last year but has been a bit shaky this year coming out and flapping or not coming for high balls at all. Wilson makes me feel much calmer between the sticks. Keep it up BW

Did anyone think Wilson would be our number 1 this year?
I certainly didnt. Fair play to him, hes claimed the shirt and is doing well, long may it continue for the good of the team

He's exceeded my expectations but they were low to start with. Something about him just doesn't fill me with any confidence still, like his positioning is just slightly off and he doesn't quite know where to be in his area.
You'd hope a run of games for us at this level should help him get the number 1 shirt somewhere because he really should be reaching his peak around now. It would be quite high up on my priority list to get a new number 1 next season and keep Marosi to push them.

He dropped two shockers last week that were unpunished. But he bounced back against Brentford, admittedly he literally had one cross to claim and that was it. HOWEVER he's done better than I thought he would and happy for him to stay there until he lets his standards slip or throws in a shocker.

He also dealt with a shot from distance quite well. Most competent goalkeepers would have probably stopped it, but I thought the way he parried the ball away to the left was well executed.

Agreed. It was a better stop than given credit for. Ask any keeper & they'll tell you the ones that bounce just before reaching you can be a nightmare but he got down to it well & strong push away to a safe area.

Marosi isn’t a Championship keeper I’m afraid. Too much of a liability and gets punished at this level. I didn’t think Wilson was a good keeper at all but he’s proved he’s better than Marosi. Again it’s an area we need to look at next season but if Wilson keeps up this form till the end of the season he could have a new number on his back.

Sort it out Robins ffs

Being realistic, we’re unlikely to progress with either as #1. Given Wilson has had a reasonable season to date, and is likely on a much lower wage than Marosi, I’d be tempted to keep him as the backup option. He was happy to come here as second choice in the first place.

One of Wilson's best qualities is his kicking. He kicks it an absolute mile, and with pretty good accuracy, which can make a real difference in relieving pressure as we can shuffle right up the pitch instead of being deep as soon as we get hold of the ball.

Before he got injured i didn't see anyone saying that

I agree with Evo.
Both are fine at championship, yes, they have different strengths and can make mistakes, but both adequate for a low to middle championship team, which is what we hope to be this and next season.
Whilst a few have been keeper errors, too many goal against have come from defensive (or midfield errors) and penalties (which keeper should always be second favourite for).
They won't be on too much and I would rather we spend the money further up the pitch this summer.

Why on earth is Robins persisting with Wilson
He is down there with the early championship years of Dubec Hykdegard and Shearer and even worse than Burge
He’s actually other than Avromovic the worst keeper I’ve seen at the club. He’s got zero positional sense and looks like an outfield player put in goal
If robins persists with this idiot we are down - surely he’s finished after the debacle yesterday

He has never been first choice at any of his previous clubs (even in league two) and has not played many first team games, that tells you all you need to know.

Exactly if Marosi is injured he should surely have kept Camp - Wilson is abysmal and will send us down

What’s that mean Mark - care to explain.

Camp was better - budget? He must be one of the lowest paid in the squad.

I would have played camp for his experience it's exactly what you need in a relegation battle

It was bizarre playing Wilson over Camp too, presumably there was a hefty appearance fee.

I honestly do not think there is much between both of our goalkeepers currently - make of that what you will.
Marosi would have "messed up" if you viewed it that way just as badly as Wilson undoubtedly for the first goal.
Personally I thought it was a very very good delivery that does put defences/goalies in two minds.
I think Wilson has done well and had earned his stint as our number one this season - however that being said it was not his best game by a long way yesterday - he was not alone - and I think would bring Marosi back for Derby and hope he makes a better fist of making the number one shirt his own than his last performance which I feel was far worse than Wilson's - the punch for the Cardiff goal.....well if Wilson had done that.....#justsaying!
