pongo88 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I thought that he looked as though he would develop into a good player when he was at City. I'm obviously not a good judge of young players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider red Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Your not the only one pongo. He was quality but didn't he get crocked and never quite recovered? Remember he had a belter of a shot on him for a little man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballwinningcentrehalf Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Remember years and years ago the forum team played at the training ground, the opposition had a little guy in a woolly hat running around the middle of the park doing everything. Didn't take long to realise who it was. I was playing full-back that day and the way Brown would repeatedly collect the ball, spin and ping a ball 50-60 yards over my head to the feet of the winger was unlike anything I'd faced before or have faced since. Was always a willing player but as others have said, not quite good enough for us overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UREDS_91 Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Always thought he was good when he played for us, broken leg fcuked him up though. He's here, he's there, he every fcuking where Scotty Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC_Dan Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 He was Tommy Doherty without the footballing ability. Without the off-pitch problems either, granted, but the ability is pretty fundamental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Sorry always found him totally average. He was. Headless chicken springs to mind. Not aware enough to play to a formation or keep his position, always chasing the ball. In fact 'average' is overrating him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Lee Johnson would have played alongside Wilson wouldn't he. I don't remember anything much about him, Wilson, another 'meh' player for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Good signing for Oldham I reckon. They have no money and he is versatile. They've just lost their best player to Shrewsbury in the league below! Shows how small their budget is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBW Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Much like Simon Clist, really liked them both and they each ended up at a much lower level than I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC_Dan Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Lee Johnson would have played alongside Wilson wouldn't he. I don't remember anything much about him, Wilson, another 'meh' player for us. But part of the squad which won promotion and reached the Championship playoff final. A small part, granted, and he's probably not of Championship ability, but we should be careful who we dismiss as 'meh'. I'd certainly take that level of mediocrity again.

'Orns Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Pretty certain you could hear Brown's leg break, was a nasty one. As someone else said, he had a hell of a shot for a little fella As for Wilson, bumped into him once at Cribbs. His 'wag' was one of the ugliest I've ever seen. For a young lad on decent money he hadn't done very well for himself at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't find him very memorable for us. We've had better and we sure have had worse. From my (bad)memory didn't we try playing him in a few positions but never really let him settle, always seemed to be filling in for players who were injured or suspended which is never easy. However he hasn't gone on and done much better anywhere else so I think my point is valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went from being a bit time player as you said filling in the holes to first name on the team sheet and club captain, depends what your perspective of "done much better" is.

Fair enough, can't say I've really followed his career after he left us. I was wrong to assume he hasn't been a success and apologise. That said I haven't seen him mentioned very much on here. You know the usual, an ex player comes good and people are clambering him for him to return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every good team needs a player or two who can do a job in most positions to the required standard and not let anybody down. Those players never stand out and often get forgotten but they do a valuable job. Not being memorable is not the same as not being valuable.

Nogbad the Bad Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I always thought Wilson looked OK for us, just for one reason or another never nailed down a regular spot. As for memories, does no one remember that cracking 30 yard shot at Leicester that thumped against the bar, came down well over the line, but wasn't given? I've heard stories that fans who met Wilson didn't think much of him, but I don't necessarily need to like City players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
