LV Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I thought the reduced training schedule was planned as a way of minimising further injuries. I don’t think this is new news. Not ideal mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgarve Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Think Wilson and Isak will play Sunday Im Wilson’s biggest critic but he has had a few chances, if he nets 1 or 2 in a game it’s all changed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magvicar Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Wilson looks way off the pace for me. I'm not sure what's going on with him but, rest him and use him as an impact sub and start Isak. I know it's easy for me to say as an outside trying to look in kind of thing but Wilson is clearly struggling with something. I trust in what Eddie Howe's doing but even Eddie must be struggling to find reasons to start him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Not the only one to be struggling for form post WC. Look what's happened to England's two keepers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 What’s the xG against like post world cup, though? Can’t remember many/any goals where you thought ‘he should have done better there’. It’s why save percentage is a flawed metric. Maybe against Liverpool he was a split second slow to react on both? Not that he was saving the first, regardless. Using your eyes, bar that moment of madness when he got sent off. Pope is not playing any or much worse than pre-WC. A lot of the team in general and particularly Wilson, are.

Kid Icarus Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 That would suggest he should be nearer 13 goals so far this season which imo adds up, I can definitely think of 4 off the top of my head so there being an additional 1 or 2 he should have scored makes sense.

toon25 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Really hope he gets back to his best, but Christ he looks shite at the mo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 For someone coming on as a sub, his legs did not look very fresh. Hope he gets over whatever it is, because there's still a lot of football to be played and we'll need him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Probably hyperbole and it feels like he is getting it from all angles of late. But I thought to put it politely. He was underwhelming. To put it bluntly, he was shite and lazy. He’s just come on after being dropped. He’s the number 9 here who has led the line well here for years, always led the press from the front under Howe and harried defenders all game. You think he’d have a point to prove and he’d be fired up and angry. But I thought he looked uninterested, slow/not fully fit and I might just be imagining things now. But I also thought he looked a bit heavier than usual and not in a good way! I hope he does actually have a niggling injury or a genuine reason for his performances. As the drop off in quality and how his physical attributes have disappeared is massively alarming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howe said post match he was impressed Wilson even made it onto the field due to issues during the week. Isak (hopefully) cemented the striker position as his to lose yesterday, but having a fit Wilson to put on against tired legs last 20-30 minutes of games is a real weapon.

mouldy_uk Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Would hate for him to end his Newcastle career on a low, but in current form and fitness he desperately needs replacing in the summer. Has Howe said anything about his obvious drop off since the WC, e.g long Covid or some other fitness issue? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Lost his place in the England squad to Toney. Might be a tough road back considering the form he's shown since the World Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
