Guest HTT II Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 He’s a pure instinctive finisher, and he has a decent all-around game, especially physically despite not being a beast size wise. I’d say Abraham, who I’d love here, is the better allrounder and more versatile, but not as good a finisher as our sexy number 9. I thought he was pretty anonymous at times yesterday, but he was up against a wall for the majority of the game. Hopefully he has an injury free season, bags himself 15-20 goals and makes the WC squad. He’s a very likeable person and I love his shithousery on the pitch. He must be a nightmare to mark/face. Especially inside the box. That goal was ridiculous really! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see it in how he talks and how he carries himself - there's no doubt in his mind that he's going to successfully do what he's trying to do. I can't imagine you can easily coach such unwavering self belief into a person. Absolutely. It was only after watching the game back I noticed that there was also 2 or 3 occasions where he had found space at the far post for a tap in and either Maxi or Almiron couldn't put him in and he was going ballistic pointing both arms down at his feet in front of goal. He stays fit for a full season and he's hitting 20 goals no problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not wait until next season and evaluate whether to extend or let him go at the end of his contract. I doubt we'll be in a position where we rely on 33+ year old Callum Wilson to score goals in 2-3 years time. If it's just a pay rise on the same duration then fair enough - keep the handsome devil happy and motivated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stays fit for a full season and he's hitting 20 goals no problem. He does it a lot, however we unfortunately have wingers in particular that are a combination of difficult to anticipate as a striker / inconsistent in their delivery, or simply not good enough in their delivery. The anticipation from the striker buys them a yard and if you don't have wingers that will put the ball to them when they've made the space, the chance is wasted and the strikers output significantly diminishes. For example, as much as I like Almiron at his best; having myself played as a striker in Sunday/local league, I would find him the most frustrating team mate to play with. He'll work himself an opportunity to deliver a final ball to the striker that's made the necessary run, only to inexplicably cut back or carry it too long, totally nullifying any threat/opportunity that the striker had earned themselves. He turns a 75% chance of a goal into less than 25% chance of a goal. I've even seen Wood make the right runs only for the wide man to cut back and slow the play down, however I fear this observation might downplay my entire post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I doubt we'll be handing him a contract extension unless he stays fit for a fair proportion of this season, and given his history, that's a big ask.

The Prophet Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 The problem we might have is that absolutely loads of the squad are out of contract the summer after next, so we might need to hand out an extension or two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we are atively looking for a younger striker even this window, you would like to think we'd have brought in someone pretty exciting who would be a possible successor to Wilson by then.

Holloway Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 If Wilson is recovering in an ice bath instead of on a plane to Poole to see the missus, we just might fet an extended run out of him. Hope so, he is very high quality Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Don't think he was at his sharpest vs Forest and scored, don't think he had enough support with him today. ASM fizzled out the game and Miggy was buzzing around but never quite tight enough when we needed him to be. CBs deliberately wound Wilson up today, love how he has a nasty streak in him though.

Newcastle Fan Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 He works really hard and does most of you want from a striker, give him more service and he will score as it seems that quite often he's feeding off scraps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 He's usually the only man in the box and thus easily marked by a couple of centre backs. When the crosses come in there needs to be other forwards arriving in the box on the opposite side. You can't expect him to produce magical finishes out of the hat every week.
