M1tche Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Should have come on instead of Wilson, but there must be a reason behind why he didn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Wilson's decision making was horrific, but he's a seasoned professional who should know how to come on and see out a game. Osula is still an absolute loose cannon at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Think it’s pretty obvious why he doesn’t get minutes in tight games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) I can see the arguments for both TBH, personally I would've gone for Osula because he'd be the one who would be able to score a goal on the counter almost on his own. Wilson doesn't have the legs for that. But I guess things like defending set pieces Wilson might have the edge. I suspect we'd have put the game to bed on the counter is Osula had been on, but who knows. Edited February 23 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I think Eddie will have wanted experience on given the slightly precarious game state. Ironically he then proceeded to do what you'd expect an inexperienced player to do, twice, by trying to score rather than the simple square pass Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) If you can start Miley in CM then you can bring Osula on in attack, shirley. It's probably one of those fan opinion vs professional manager type things. Edited February 24 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it isn't, just an observation that he seems erratic irrespective of games tempo or what's happening. He should consider himself extremely unlucky he's not had more game time later on in matches, especially ones we are three goals too the good in.

There's a good chance Wilson doesn't make it past HT so he could easily be on the pitch for 60+ minutes tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 He will get some minutes today i hope, he's got good potential but starting him away at Anfield after not playing for a while could've been too much pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Hope he starts at weekend. Feel his made shit house running will disrupt Brighton more than Wilsons play (that's unless Osula starts RW and Wilson up top). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
