Donavon Wilson

[MotorWoden]

Has scored again for the under 23s tonight. He seems to have flown under the radar a bit this year with Ronan, Herc, Bright getting all the attention but he has scored a fair few and always looked good from the bits I've seen. I thought he may have been in demand for a loan move in January but nothing happened. Given our situation with strikers will he get a chance before the end of the season?

Not sure with how this season is going I'd really like to see yet another youngster thrown into the sinking ship.

 

[QB Wolf]

Bound to get a chance I would have thought, good to see him on the bench last night.

 

[Skrilla]

The way I see it - he can hardly be any worse than Bod/Dicko on current form...

Fully appreciate your point but something has to give. I'd even be inclined to give Gladon a go just to try something different or Wieman up top. Looks like with him being on the bench last night Wilson is the next cab off the rank.

I agree re Gladon/Weimann as not sure they could offer worse or less but it would concern me if too many of the young ones were thrown in when the pressure was really on.

Yes I agree I think couldn't really have Ronan, Bright, MGW and Wilson on the pitch last night and run the risk of shattering youthful confidence by a few beatings. Maybe Weimann than as Lambo deffo looks like he won't play Gladon.

But not up top on his own

 

[Mr Wolf]

Not a lone striker, he won't be able to lead the line better than anyone else. We had Dicko upfront with Afobe last time this ****ing thing worked, Afobe was hardly a number 10 midfielder was he like it's been recently.

The system does not suit these players.

A few cameos off the bench would do him no harm but that's about it for the moment as putting him in a team that is so down in the dumps would do him no good at all. But 15 minutes here or there would give him a taste. I think Weimann should be put up front where he prefers to play anyway. Ronan can fill in on the wing and Marshall if he ever gets fit to play. Plan C would be Edwards as a striker - he can hardly do worse than the current guys and leaves a space for Saiss to return.

Would do him good to have a few cameos off the bench I think your spot on. Not sure about the Edwards as striker bit tho.

Nothing is sinking....

 

[astraltrader]

Nothing is sinking....

Maybe not but with a few more bad results I feel sure we will see some icebergs!!

 

[astraltrader]

In all seriousness I too think it well worth giving Donovan Wilson an appearance from the bench.
As we wont be signing a new striker before the summer and we are in desperate need of one, then surely...??

 

[Keyser Soze]

I'd love to see him given a go before the end of the season. How many has he got for U23s now? Not sure if he's the type of striker that can play up top on his own but the biggest plus for me is he's a player that should be full of confidence in front of goal, is mentally in the right place and not weighted down with failure and pressure like Dicko and Bod seem to be.

With a striker that split second that can decide if you take a chance or not is in the mind. Give him a go I say. He really can't do any worse

He's played a fair bit wide for the 23s this year, I'm not really convinced by him. Expect him to be overtaken by Ennis if he ever stays fit because that lad has real potential.

As weird as it sounds and I know there's a thread going on this, mason is pretty much key to how we want to play, Dicko and bod have looked so much better with him

Gladon is not and never will be the answer, he is a terrible footballer

 

[JOSWolf]

Just scored yet another goal for u23's! They lead 1-0 against Brighton.

 

[Netherton Wolf]

Why not start him Friday, really don't think we have anything to lose,

 

[Peszkywolf]

They're in trouble at the moment because they've got a lot of first team players out, especially their 2 CBs, paul robinsons legs have gone so would be interesting to see a fast young striker make him look crap!

 

[Nige100]

Yep agree may as well nowt to lose.

 

[MotorWoden]

Another goal tonight already. His record for the U23s really is good, better than Bright's. The only striker at the club who is scoring. I'd like to see him more involved.

Ahem - dicko has scored 1 in 1

 

[Jonzy54]

Ahem - dicko has scored 1 in 1

Sort of!
Isn't it 1 in about 28?

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Scored in every single game of the last 1.

Can't doubt him . Get wilson alongside him

 

[Skrilla]

9 goals in 11 starts for Donovan Wilson in the U23's now, I'd like to see him pair Dicko upfront.

Although I agree... bright has proved what big step up it is from u23s to first team

 

[Skrilla]

Yet I'd much rather see Bright/Ronan starting games than Saville/Evans/Edwards/Weimann. Another who's done very well for the U23's is is Christian Herc, who we're yet to see given a chance.

 

[bod101]

if we play two up front it should be with bod.

 

[Nige100]

Has to be worth a subs berth at least you would think. Exuberance of youth and impact may be better than stale old same old.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Why

 

[Deleted member 4099]

You should play up front ?

 

[merseawolf]

Why?

 

[Tipton Wolves]

Let the kid have a game. We are down anyway and we may as well give him a chance.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Dont think it matters who plays up front with the midfield we have they could make Messi look ****e as the song goes.

 

[Rangiora Wolf]

Its a no brainer. Give the lad a go. He cant do any worse than the current lot. He might even bang a couple in.

 

[Floyd Man]

Ahem - dicko has scored 1 in 1

Yep I see where you're coming from. One in one season

 

[NottsWolves]

If he's full of confidence he should at least be given a go from the bench.

Herc has just come back from injury

 

[Deleted member TW5162]

Jeff Shi was also at the U23's game tonight so he is still in town. And Prince has now scored 3 goals in 7 games while on loan.

 

[bod101]

Why?

bod is the ideal foil for a goalscorer. many have already mentioned that previous to us signing him other fans had said that he will provide more than he scores.
