Big Hev Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 was at the peterborough game to night..he seemed confident and him and fontaine won most things in the air did get drawn out a bit but recovered well and his timing in the tackles were good think with a bit of game time and playing with experiences players like M.wilson to help him positionally he could do a job ..thoughts?? i realise that it was against a fairly lack luster peterborough team but got to be worthy of a start at watford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he should continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Well if the penalty was dodgy then we should have had our first clean sheet. Better than 5 at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCfan Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 He was touted to go out on loan last week....hope he can grab this chance with both hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Would be nice to see one of our own become a regular, he should stay in the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
II Wurzel II Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Shouldn't be such a big deal IMO, he's as good as any other CB on our books. He got called up, done his job, got 3 points and that deserves a start against Watford. Simples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldlandReddies Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Whether he keeps his place for Watford or not, after tonights performance and the injuries to Greg and Skuse he wont be going out on loan. Still has a bit to learn but improving all the time and has a great attitude/maturity for his years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Great defensive performance, non-existant distribution. Will take the former happily at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded_red Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Was solid defensively, but he is even more of a hoof ball merchant than Nyatanga. I thought it last season and tonight more than confirmed it. I do think though he should be available to improve this side of his game as he does have a very good touch for a centre half so this would suggest he should have more than enough talent to start playing it out comfortably from the back rather than aimlessly lumping it.

I am amazed to see this as every time I have seen him I have been impressed with his long and short range passing. I can only think that as it was a new chance for him that he wanted to ensure he didn't give the ball away or get caught in posssession, or he was under orders to just clear our lines.

Monkeh Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I wouldn't go as far as calling him good enough yet he needs a run in the side first he's at an age where he needs to play every week now he is not a youngster anymore, I'd still go out and get a centre back and then tell James that he has to keep him out of the side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglia Red Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Thought his distribution was fine-good performance and Bryan did not look out of place either when he came on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 He deserves a start at the weekend. I think we are still in need of a centre half mind. This could be the biggest period of Wilsons career. He needs to establish himself now and get a run in the side to prove himself. He really needs to take this chance and kick on if he wants to be successful for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Saw Wilson when he came into the team at Leicester last season. That was when we were on a dire run, the defence was all over the place and Gerken came in to replace James in the same game. Wilson was up against Nugent, who is a handful, but he was strtong and gave nothing away that night. Yesterday he was strong and more secure and reliable than Fontaine on the night, and made two or three superb saving tackles. I think his progress has been severely hampered by injury and he'splaying catch up now. Also, over the last couple of seasons when he has come into the side, it was into a defence that was about as secure as a wet paper bag and bereft of confidence which would not have heloped his own performance. I don't see the hoof ball that many go on about. His distribution could be better, as he misplaced a few long passes, but that was a weakness throughout the team all night, but he was also prepared to put his foot through the ball when the sitaution called for it. I'd say he deserves a run in the team, but Fontaine seems to be lacking confidence and his place could be the one under threat and with the options being Carey or Tanga that would be a worry.

Interesting - Del said after the game that he thought Fonts was superb all night just trying to build his confidence after the mare he had on Sat? I've not seen JW that much, but thought he did really well against Boro at AG last year until he bought a cheap foul on the edge of our box which ultimately cost us the game.

Garland-sweden Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Think he i a good defender. He is young and he will be good I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBW Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 So relieved he was put in for this game and really hope he keeps his place. This is an integral time for his career progression with us and if he can't keep his spot then he'll never be more than a backup to us. Really hope he gets a solid run of games and can prove himself to everyone involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evening Post also gave Fonts one of the highest ratings of the City players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
