54 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Funny how Wilson had the ball played in for him for the first time in the match as soon as this lad came on. Weird that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir_9 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Hindsight is pointless but you cant help but wonder how different tonight would have been with him playing the time he deserves on the pitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 It’s not even hindsight most have been calling for Miggy to start for weeks. Seems fairly obvious to me he should be playing left wing, his tracking back would help Lewis who is weak from a defensive point of view. You then move Maxi to cam where he has recently come out and said he wants to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 If I was Miggy I’d be hounding his door and calling him every minute of every day to either play or get out. Disgrace he’s being left out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Him, Wilson and ASM are the three players that should be the first names on the team sheet any fucking day. Doesn't take a genius to figure it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 he'd make a better central midfielder than hendrick, and a better wide forward than joeshinton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I fail to see why people are standing up to him so strongly other than the fact that he's better than Joelinton and Hendrick, reality is he played a large number of games for us and hardly made an impact, unless he starts improving on his old self i'd rather start Fraser.

Was that those games where he was our only outlet and only player who could take the ball from defence to attack? The games where he was increasingly unlucky not to score? The games where he got into great positions but players like Ritchie wouldn’t make the pass to him? The games where he actually got an assist but for whatever reason it wasn’t actually credited to him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 He'll come in next game and be played on the right hand side (because Bruce) where he struggles to have an impact , and we'll look awful again, and we'll lose again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that but people suddenly started to talk about him as if he was the second coming of Ben Arfa, he hardly impacts game for us and just runs around all game with little end product.

Guest Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Dyer was similar in that respect and a lot better imo. Think he was under rated looking back just because his finishing wasn’t great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 The imapct of having a player who make fast transitions like him is not something that shows up in stats, but its still really important if you look at a lot of our goals/chances and trace the play back, miggy will have often played a pivotal role in it 3 or 4 passes back. cant remember it know but we score a great team goal last season and its started with him chasing down an opponent at left back and winning the ball.

Guest Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Man Utd for the Longstaff goal? Seem to remember him taking his time and playing the ball out rather than launching it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 5 games in now, still haven't seen Wilson on the pitch with ASM, Almiron and Fraser. From what I can see I don't think we will either. Bruce is obsessed with set pieces, and he doesn't want to play those three attacking midfielders together because in his mind we'll be too small a team.

Gallowgate Toon Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 His direct contribution has improved this calendar year and may well get better with an actual functioning striker to feed... But we all know he brings other things to the table. He can take a man on, can make excellent runs behind defences, open up opportunities for others, he wins us set pieces, and he works hard too. It's really not hard to work out why people would much rather he started games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 The sad thing is when he finally got a chance to start he was inexplicably played on the right, his least effective position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Maximin Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Bit confused by the end-product criticism. He was out top scorer last season (yes the FA Cup opposition did help) having not scored until December. Technically also got his first assist just before that, but has been involved in so many others before and after that. Pace and work rate aside I don’t think there’s anything amazing to his game, but clearly when he’s played left-wing/attacking-mid he’s been very influential imo even if the stats don’t show it.
