Yeah he played alright tonight but...


Did anyone else know he was a Geordie?! Just come onto the radio with his voice gone due to all the shouting he’s done tonight

Controversial, but I think he's actually a Mackem...

I couldn’t bare myself to think that

 

[matesx]

Did you hear his stats?

35 of our points have been with him in goal and he has conceded less than a goal per game.

Pretty impressive.

He's actually a mackem I believe

I've no idea what I'm looking at! Think I'll just go back and look at THAT save this evening. I understand that.

 

[Jamesimus]

Lol - Tim Krul quite literally OFF THE CHART

(In reference to that goalkeepers stats thing posted!)

 

[SBAndy]

I don’t mind him too much. He can stay as back up if he’s happy to.

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

Really don't get the hate with Wilson. I think we've done better with him in goal than Marosi

What a season for him. 29, played for about 10 clubs and barely hit 40 appearances in that time (majority being non-legaue). Comes in to a Championship team and performs well.

Massive respect to someone who seems like a real good lad.

 

[Magwitch1]

Possibly m-o-m tonight some very crucial saves and kept his goal well from a number of set pieces and corners.

He is 100%. We were sponsors for the Sunderland game last season and he was giving it before the game jumping in photos and saying haway the lads. Seems a right character tbf and I would have thought great for the dressing room.

Hes performed pretty well...yes hes made mistakes,but a relegation battle puts extra pressure on every player.Id definitely keep him on.Every team needs a comedian and hes certainly a character.

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

Like Hyam I've had pops at the pair of them over the season but they've certainly stepped up of late.
Wilson is improving nicely

Only the world and his mother

 

[glasgowfan]

I still think he should have caught it, rather than punched

Hyam another helped by the more direct style. Don’t think I’ve sworn at him once since he returned from injury.

If his left arm was 10ft long

Same thing

Have a listen to the Sky Blues Extra podcast with him on

He's very funny, sounds like a great guy and it's hard not to root for him after listening to it.

Well worth a listen

I had a dream last night we sold Wilson to Sunderland.
The good news we got £5M for him.
The bad news was we took Burge back in part exchange.

No he’s had a couple of good games but is a poor goalkeeper

He played well yesterdya though didnt he G, you have to give him that.

Lol even if he's poor he has contributed to our pts tally tho.

Defo don't think we should go overboard tho. He's starting keeperfor last 3 games now so be interesting to see how he does.

Interesting stats here: Championship Goalkeeper Stats | FBref.com

Wilson is 7th in the division for save % and “CS%” whatever that is (@Frostie?), well ahead of Marosi.

However, despite playing over 400 minutes less than Wilson, Marosi had 50% more saves to make (90/59). So clearly playing behind a much more leaky defence.

Would that be Clean Sheet %?

Clean Sheet %
i.e. how many of his matches resulted in a Clean Sheet. Think Wilson was at something like 40%?

Some of those games were single goal penalties for the opposition too (Norwich away sticks out in my mind)

Well it’s obvious when you put it like that

 

[johnwillomagic]

I think he;s done well overall and better than Marosi this season - still not sure either are quite good enough.
Wilson for me for a big lad is a bit too nervous and needs to be far more decisive and commanding at times....seems a little rooted to his line at times.

However this may be confidence and who knows his confidence should be building after recent performances....

Still wouldn't mind a new upgrade on goalie for next season.

I swore when he buried that volley against Barnsley to be fair
