No need to start having a go at Chippy……on second thoughts…he’s a Mackem loving, mustard chino wearing ex six fingered Hillbilly. Actually, it’s quite good therapy.
Why wouldn’t you just put a live goalkeeper in. How is it a step on the injury healing process to use a cardboard keeper?
i can understand it in Everton's case though - they have to use dummy goalkeepers as otherwise they are shorthanded.
With Wilson - 9 points from 15 games Since Wilson got injured - 26 points from 13 games. He ain't missed.
Problem with Wilson is he's a Carroll /Gayle/Ferguson. We always know he'll be injured for at least half the season and more than likely a lot more. He ain't part of the solution going forward.
He could be a good buy for the medical dept as he’ll be able to compare the quality of new to old equipment.
As the top priority this summer, the acquisition of the modern equivalents of Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse must be the 1st and 2nd signings we plough the market for. Gayle and Wilson should be moved on - they're just not reliable enough to bring in goals.
Right you are, those 2 ain't even good enough to be stand ins as they're always knackered. 2 new strikers with Wood as back up.
Don't risk him. I'd look forward to seeing him in a good team next season though. Stats suggest he could end up being a 1 in 2 striker. 18 goals in 41 games.
Not based on our form he isn't. Last two seasons he's 18 in 41, you gotta go off that, not his form with another team. 18 in 41 in his NUFC form so that's what I pay attention to. And this was mainly in a crap team also. Imagine when he gets proper service.
