Yeah my lad changed his mind on the highlights and possibly yellow the right call as foot not raised I still think excessive force

Bad bad mistakes by other championship keepers today. Rotherham and Sunderland keepers especially

Rotherham keeper was pretty impressive in midweek mind.

It helps when you are playing in front of a confident back 5

That’s one of the things that makes people so nervous about him. He should be BEHIND the back 5!

Considerable amount of luck though don’t you think, that one that hit the crossbar at the weekend he was nowhere to be seen
There’s been quite a few that have hit the post or bar on this run of clean sheets

Is he marshalling the defence well? Or is it mainly down to Fadz?

If it was my game he would have been sent off-2 yellow cards for the 2 separate challenges. In my opinion as bad as he was, the Referee (Keith Stroud) got the 2nd Dabo one wrong (went unpunished but should have been a yellow for reckless play) although it went in our favour. Robins realised and was sensible as he knew 1 more challenge by Dabo and we would have been down to 10 for the rest of the game.

He guided those shots onto the woodwork by using his mental powers, the guy is a goalkeeping god

The stats don’t lie and on paper he’s doing very well. At this point is not just the poor form of Moore, Wilson deserves the spot.
Granted, he hasn’t had loads to do but when called upon he’s done what’s needed. He’s also clearly growing in confidence.
What can’t be argued is his ability to wind up the opposition, including time wasting. At some point he’ll revert back to #2, but for now he’s doing a good job.

That's a fair point.
I know why Moore is currently out...he had a mare at the start of the season and was rightly replaced, but imho, i think Moore would also have kept those same clean sheets were he playing.
As you say, Wilson has been protected magnificently by our back 5.
Kudos to Fadz (Immense), Panzo and Rose (improving), Dabo (getting back to his best), and Bidwell (almost unbelievably POS so far)

What was Moore’s in his 3 games?

Moore came 17 yards out of his goal to claim a ball he had no right to claim.
He dropped a simple cross at Hull at the feet of the striker.
Wilson hasn't done these things yet, defence solid or not, when he's been called upon to deal with the ball he has done so.

Good question.
Wilson (last 3)
6 shots on target against
Combined xGA = 0.35
Goals conceded= 0
Moore (first 3)
15 shots on target against
Combined xGA = 3.87
Goals conceded = 7

Did anyone hit the bar or post in those games for Moore? Only some are finding it so hard to begrudgingly say Wilson keeps the shirt that he's criticised for ones that nearly went in or saying the defence in front is the reason and yet weren't blamed the other way round. Poor sod having some luck,. I've seen other stats with 2nd highest save % and also 2nd on clean sheets. As always stats can lead opinions how you want them to.

So Wilson is still statistically worth his place. Moore has conceded 3 more than he was supposed to whilst Wilson basically just hasn’t put a step wrong

So Wilson is shit because a few shots coming at him are off target?
Frostie

No woodwork hits in Moore's games.
3 in last 3 for Wilson, 4 in total.
I don't think anyone doubts Wilson deserves the shirt do they? Just that he hasn't suddenly become Lev Yashin overnight either.
As mentioned before, Clean Sheets & Save % should never be used to judge a goalkeeper on.

GKs not judged by clean sheets!!!!… I mean Wow. Surely that’s the only thing that matters as a keeper.
