How many saves does Wilson make where you'd expect a professional goalkeeper not to?

Spurs (should of done better for the winner)
Leeds (Arguably could of done better for the 2nd/3rd goals)
Sheff Weds (1st goal was poor, yeah he hit it hard, but Wilson's postioning was all wrong.
I think if a goalkeeper saves all 4 of those goals above, we'd say "Good save" but nothing more.
Add to that some piss poor kicking, and the horrible hesitation he always does before kicking.
If we're not playing Dovin, bring Collins back in.

In Bardia's cafe Stratford this morning with his next door neighbour, Alan, ( who he befriended when he first moved here) and another City player (think it may have been Dausch - but not a first teamer). I wasn't going to bother him, but my wife walked up to them as we were leaving and said 'my husband's a Coventry fan, and is too polite to bother you, but I'm not!' I just said 'hi, see you at Preston' to which Ben replied 'not many happy trips up there'. Told him that I didn't want to miss the first win there. End of boring story! That said, they spent the whole half hour I was in there talking football (not CCFC stuff).

Hopefully we won’t be seeing him at Preston

I have a bias towards him based on him seeming a genuinely nice person, coupled with him having a positive personality (which I would imagine adds to the dressing room atmosphere). I don't mind him as a keeper, either, as I don't see him as being any less of a keeper than the other two (albeit Dovin may have more potential).

Dovin is the future , Wilson makes too many basic mistakes , was poor for Leeds 2 and 3 Rd goals and out of position for Wednesday's 1 st goal.

You can say the same for Dovin to be fair.

Although one has a pool of about 5 games and the other probably over 100

If you want to go down that line, Wilson got golden glove previously.

But still barely made any saves of note during that season. The point is we know Wilson isn't very good, Dovin could be the same, but none of us know that yet.

He was very well protected, to be fair to him he upgraded from useless to mediocre. It's a stand out season for him in his career, he quickly reverted to being hopeless again.

Our fans are selective in who they blame. Wilson has made a couple of mistakes, but people go on as if he was at fault for every single goal. Dovin has let in a lot of goals, but 'none of the goals were his fault'. If it were Wilson in nets for those games you can be absolutely sure as shit he would get some of the blame for them.
I am not even saying Wilson is good and the best choice, just simply highlighting that Dovin has shown nothing that makes him levels above. Those with an agenda are frothing at the mouth to have a go though.

fucking hell ben, just what every fan wants to hear from a player
"You're going to the match Saturday? Haha, we always lose there and will do again you absolute mug."

Talk about twisting a conversation and putting a nasty slant on it. He was just being polite, having a coffee with his old neighbour, and comes across as a thoroughly nice lad. Just because he knows about our record up there, that makes him an absolute mug?

It's not an agenda to not want a dogshit keeper in the net for the team you support mate. It's common sense.

I think both were insinuating that you’re the mug.

I just find it odd that a player’s response to hearing you were going to the game was to mention how often we lose there.

As someone who doesn't rate his ability at all, I think you are looking way too deep into it. It's just a general conversational remark. For all of my criticism of Wilson, I would back what Sky Blue Harry H has to say in that I've seen him dozens of times in Bardia's and he comes across as a genuinely great bloke and someone you want to do well but sadly he isn't up to being a Championship keeper.

Well generally I hate it when fans try to play amateur psychologist on the players. But in this case, if your first thought about an upcoming game is losing there previously it’s hardly a good sign is it.
