pl00peh91 Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 Played for the U21s today. Really can’t wait to see what he can do in a City shirt. This season is probably too soon for him, and I know there have been some concerns defensively, so probably best to build him back slowly and get him ready for next season. Interesting to see how we play him too as we bought him with 352 in mind and now we play with a four. Was interesting to see how Pearson preferred an out of position Sykes to him earlier in the a season. Either way, happy to see his recovery is going well and look forward to seeing him soon. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Notgetinya Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 I don’t think Sykes was preferred as such. Wilson took a knock before his current injury so Sykes got the nod and then didn’t really do much wrong so kept his place 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 Good news that we have another option. Certainly can’t expect to come in with Tanner doing well but in a squad of only about 22, having everyone fit & available is very good news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s played a lot at RB too, so hopefully he can be versatile going forward (in more ways than one) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Wilson is undoubtedly better in the oppositions half than Tanner. Will be interesting to see how close Wilson can get to Tanner’s ability in our half. I would certainly welcome giving him a run of a few games to see what he can do. Pring and Wilson as full backs could be very exciting! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchred Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 He's not going to suddenly come back as some right sided superstar and the answer to all our problems just for being out injured! Is it only here that players are escalated to Messiah status while out injured. He wasn't good enough before his injury and will need time and patience on the training ground to be anywhere near championship standard 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he can work his way back into contention and get some game time towards the end of this season. Your hoping then with a full pre-season under his belt we can see his full potential next season. I must admit he was the summer signing i was most excited about when he came in but it unfortunately just hasn’t worked out for him here thus far.

It ultimately needed surgery. I wouldn’t judge too much from a few sub appearances early doors. Totally right to reserve judgement though.

Bizarre Precisely this. As you said there is a small minority on here that would rather be proven ‘right’ about a manager or player even if it is at the expense of the club winning football matches. Without a doubt there is a small % that are pissed off right now that Pearson seems to have turnt us around and we are winning games again. We have seen it time and time over the years, it was the same with Johnson jnr and snr Cotts etc etc. It’s mental really and quite sad. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I also see a small section obsessed with them, after a win I see "that'll upset the usual suspects" and so on. Just makes me cringe when their first reaction is to gain a moral high after a win. Just don't understand it personally. The best thing you can do to very negative posters is to ignore them. I'm sure they're in their hole right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked half tidy pre-season, exciting v Hull, less so v Sunderland, decent against Cov (cup) etc. Theres a big difference between “he wasn’t the answer before his injury” and “I’ve not seen enough to judge”, isn’t there? Maybe it’s just the way you’ve worded it??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
