Why not play Wilson? Ball won't be here next season and we we have nothing top play for.

Shame he's crap in the air.
For derby and us he's played over 40 games and scored about 4 goals I think and he's our main goal threat today. Hope he proves me wrong today

Totally agree.
He has been on the periphery at best this year and his loan is just about up.
What's the point? Why not give Wilson a go?

Last start for us, 23rd October.
We need to look to next season not play loan players who won't be here.

Exactly plus he's a grade A donkey, give the young lads a go in place of loanee's and some other the under performing senior players

I can understand Barton's inclusion, but certainly not Ball's.

Why play Wilson then? He's out of contract and we cannot renew it until embargo is lifted.

I'm pretty sure you can renew contracts under a transfer embargo, I might be wrong.

Still think in our current situation we would be better to play our own youngsters rather than someone else's. I would say the same of Bailey too.

He had an old game?

Yep that was the point of the thread. Ball worked hard and ran around a lot - did nothing that Wilson or cody would do. They are our players and ball is not that was and Is the reason I don't think we should be playing him ahead of our own players.

He had Good old game today
As for playing our youngsters who knows if any of the players who are out of contract in the summer will be with us next season so we might as well not play them on the same basis! Ridiculous argument. You play the best players you have for the team you are paying and the conditions.
For all we know be might be a Coventry Player next season!

I get your point with nothing to play for we should be preparing for next season but I think Ball can hold up the ball better, is better at playing with his back to goal and links the play better than McDonald.

It depends what you class as a good game. He worked hard and ran around a bit.

He was OK, he gave us a target and was decent with his back to goal. Worked very hard. Was poor in the air but against two beasts of CB's (although Wilson did win more headers in his first 5 mins on the pitch than he did because he ACTUALLY JUMPS!). Not that he was used in the air too much as we wisely played it on the deck most of the time. Had one really poor shot, but I'll let him off as it reminded me of that really good Newman & Baddiel joke about Geoff Thomas against France hitting a shot that went out for a throw-in. All told for a player lacking fitness he can be happy with his performance.
Why not Wilson? Because he's probably better as an impact-sub at the moment. He's got bags of energy and determination, not to mention some flair, but he doesn't look a rounded player yet and lacks the know-how that experience brings. Using him as a sub is a good way to gradually introduce him to the side and increase his experience. He should be a starting option next season, but will always be a good option as a sub due to the way he can impact games.

Well, Callum does have middle-aged spread
But he also has a lot more first team experience than Wilson.
Ball is one of many signings from the summer, including Fleck and Barton, who we have totally failed to get the most out of in this division. All showed today that they are more than good enough for this division.

How did ball show he was more than good enough for this league today? He did ok, worked hard bit little else.
We may not have got the best out of them this season, but they also haven't forced themselves into the squad.
Ball should've been send back to derby in january.

You can't terminate a season long loan unless all parties agree, this we know to be a fact.
He showed that he can do a job, and he's absolutely miles off match fitness. He's shown other glimpses, notably when he scored against Arsenal as a sub. He was a decent Championship player last season. If he'd had regular games and got his fitness up he'd have been a totally different player for us, as would many of the rest of our squad.
