withes_shin Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Wonder if he'll be on the bench Sunday seeing as he's already got a squad number. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 He has a lot of upside. He is already 6ft and likely to grow beyond that. He is clinical in front of goal. If he fills out a bit more there will be a pathway for him into our first team. But a season bruising it out in the lower leagues will also benefit him.

Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted February 24, 2023 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2023 Sees things that no one else on the pitch sees - little spaces, defenders whose balance is on the wrong foot, pockets of space - knows what he wants to do with those spaces and has the technical ability to do those things when he gets there. As he fills out and gets stronger, he could really go a long, long way. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Make Pies Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Has that natural striker's instinct and the technique to go with it. Great prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Do you know if he's travelled with a match day squad yet useless? Not sure what the club are doing in terms of that experience for the kids Hoping / half expecting Don emery to do what Smith did a few years back and put a few kids on the bench come garbage time of the season to generate a buzz going in to the summer, don't think Wilson will be part of that but at the same time he's a couple of injuries away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Four goals in 6 playing for the Under 18s. Very exciting talent on our hands. A natural goalscorer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turvontour Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Seems to be scoring a goal most games he features in. I wonder if he could do a loan at a league one or bottom half championship side next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted March 11, 2023 Moderator Share Posted March 11, 2023 It's an odd one - he'll be a little bit too young for a loan in August, but he's progressing so well that we might bump that forward. In a good quality line up today, it was interesting to see that he was the one that took responsibility for the penalty, bodes well for his mental strength.

I think we will keep him around until Jan then look for a half season loan as he turns 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I think a loan at 18 migjht be a little early for him. He would be playing main striker rather than wide striker so would be up against gigantic Premier League centrehalves. Got to balance playing league games against letting him naturally fill out and take his time with him in the academy. Looking at the way Barry has struggled and then considering Wilson is the same skinny build as him giving him another full season might be more beneficial i think we have a future goalscoring machine on our hands so his devopment needs to be given the perfect pathway for us to make the most of him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Kid has a very exciting future - I agree with the above - let him develop more under our guidance and don’t send him on a loan that would not be beneficial for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
