[standupforcity]

What do we know about this guy and is his recall what we're looking for?

[Nick]

He's a keeper, Dovin is fucked.

 

[stupot07]

Makes you think that Wilson hasn't really recovered fully from his injury.

 

[Noble]

He's been recalled from a non-league team, I can only assume this is covering for an absolute worst case scenario that we need a last minute keeper at the club on matchday. If there was anything more long-term with both Collins and Wilson we'd be getting an emergency loan before Bell plays

Yeah, I'm guessing he was the emergency sub at Sheffield United and would probably be Lampard's second keeper if fit.
Doesn't sound good for Dovin if we're bringing back a third keeper

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Any experienced loan keepers knocking about?

Probably not, we wouldn't get permission for one anyway given Collins is fit.

There's been nothing to suggest Wilson is Lampards second keeper, its all fan fiction. The signs are he prefers Collins.

 

[TomRad85]

See how the next couple of weeks go. Lampard might be asking people to leave one on the keepers in training if the CBS turns into a circus tent.

What's going on with Cian Tyler? Isn't he like 23 years old?

Yes the new contract was complete fan fiction

Signed for Leicester

Pretty sure he's injured at the minute otherwise he'd be the 3rd keeper in the warm up on match days and we'd have left Luke Bell out on loan.

He's been playing for the academy.

Collins would probably be my preferred keeper as well (just about), but isn't he out of contract in the summer and we've just given Wilson a new one?
Guess Wilson might be happier to be back up

I'm pretty sure Collins has another year. It's all a bit weird.

 

[shmmeee]

Yeah Collins has another year.

Yeh as said above, he's got another year. My guess is Wilson is being kept as a full time third choice at this point. Whether the second choice remains Collins or whether we'll try and ship him for a small fee and bring in another is what remains to be seen.

 

[TomRad85]

They are both available, he's showed no signs of wanting to play Wilson at any point. He's here as cheap squad depth, presumably he's happy with this.

 

[eyesee]

don't read too much into this. we have to have 2 keepers in the squad for a game, and this is just to cover the scenario where collins or wilson get the squits the night before the game.

it's this, or jds covers in goal.

 

[Sick Boy]

I'm pretty sure I read that his loan was due to expire next week anyway.

Ah fair enough then!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

THe way i read into the situation is Frank feels collins is a better keeper, but we are more likely to get a fee for him/be able to keep Wilson as number 2 on the cheap.

 

[fernandopartridge]

He's now employed as the entertainments manager TBF

Go full on Escape to Victory.

Since coming back from his injury, Wilson had been injured again (thigh) and only back in training for around 10 days. He was only added to the bench as a late call up being a senior player who had travelled, when Kitching was ill. Collins had trained as the number 2 and would have been the only keeper on the bench if Kitching wasn't ill, so it was right that he went on and should have been better prepared of the two.

Since then another week's training and both vying for the spot so it will be interesting to see who is selected to start on Saturday.

 

[no_loyalty]

What’s Petr Cech upto these days, get him signed up on a short term contract

I get that but it felt a bit weird that Wilson got up to warm up.

Maybe as a late addition to the bench he hadn't done much/any pre-game warm-up so now he would be the next in line if Collins went off he needed to do a bit of stretching. Other thought was maybe they thought they'd test the injury with the warm up and decided he wasn't quite there.

Do you understand the loan system?

 

[Shannerz]

Playing ice hockey, I think.

 

[mrfr]

Like all players on the bench he should be trying to convince the manager he is ready to go on if needed, goalkeeper or not. That is just basic professionalism - prepare to be called upon, let the manager make his decision, make sure you’re ready if he calls you, and if not, wish your mate good luck and sit back down. I’d much rather that than him be sat there with a face like a smacked arse looking disinterested.
