How can someone remind you of someone else if you aren't comparing them as players? Even by your standards that makes very little sense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Keep hold of Wilbs! He looks fit enough to do a job for the whole 90 mins against certain teams and for a 20 min burst against others. He's strong, committed, happy here, reliable, true pro and great guy. Kevin Davies did the same sort of job until he was 38 - Wilbs is a great part of our team spirit, our squad and our passion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 7 hours ago, phantom said: For many parts at the start of the season Cotts continued to pick him even though he was struggling with a thigh strain, it was taking him longer and longer to recover from knocks received in games and as a result his all round game suffered badly I'm glad he's got another year - as a bit part player he certainly has many uses and like many others in our squad has been more improved under LJ - if for no other reason than he was given time to recover and get fully fit ! Agree. Cotterill ran him into the ground and we, and ultimately he, suffered for it. Since the change in manager we have used him how he should have been used all season, next season should be more of the same. Hopefully in that year he will bow out gracefully whilst guiding the youngsters through. Would like to see him stay in a coaching role, but not sure if his family have even moved down so maybe he'll be off up north again anyway.

'Should have...' you wrote 'should have...' Thank you, thank you, thank you! 'Should of...' when it should be 'Should have....' is just SO annoying! Thank you once more!

Bs4Red Posted May 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Do you not think if we had an upgraded Target man playing they would have got 15/20 goals and people saying Wilbs is good defensively, he gave away 4 goals this year with poor headed clearances and losing his man. I think if we had a Chris Martin or Sam Vokes or Chris Wood, they would score 20 or close to that. If you compare Wilbs to the above 3 players, he doesn't even get to play on the same pitch. Sums up how small a club we are if we're happy to have AW up top for another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityred exile Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 has anybody noticed that he always seems to score his goals when in the "north west" Bradford Oldham Preston Bolton Huddersfield Blackburn Port Vale even Wolverhampton at home this season ! uncanny or what!

I used to give Torpey stick but we always did seem to win more when he played. I don't think I really appreciated what he brought, but I do think Wilbs can still contribute when used sparingly and in the right game (Rotherham for one).
