James Wilson | On Loan to Brighton and Hove Albion

i have started watching brighton since november end and since then they have been horrible. I feel responsible now :(
 
wilson in the wings seems to be a waste. At least martial has played most of his career there
 
Hard to believe Brighton have been doing so well. They're crap
 
Does he look strong enough, now? When he played for the first team he was as frail as Fletcher post-illness. It was the most obvious weakness he had even judging him as a young player. You can't get into games in the PL much, let alone affect them, when you dont have a physical presence.

I was surprised at him in that sick clip. First I've seen of him this season and he's got a whacking pair of shoulders on him now. Definitely working on it.
 
Championship version of United this Brighton side.Really lack of idea.

both teams are shit, the only difference is we have quality in our team and they dont so we are waaay worse then them.

dont think much changed, maybe a slight improvement in that department but he is still pretty "weak"....i said it few times in his thread, dont think he isnt strong enough, he just doesnt know how to use his body. Hopefully he will learn few things from the Master, Bobby Zamora.
 
He had some decent moments in the game, he's quick footed and sharp, he just needs this regular game time to get his match savvy and fitter.

He is still weak. Maybe a little stronger though but Brighton played him wide with Zamora as striker

Yes, that's fair. I suppose it's hard for us to tell how much is down to strength and how much is down to use of the body. But you're right, that it's usually more to do with the latter.

Cheers.
 
Far and away the best player on the pitch today and it was good to hear the commentary team and pundits point that out. It want just his movement and attacking positioning, when he dropped deeper he picked out some great passes and crosses too.
 


To say he was ill, he had a pretty good game. Wouldn't mind him as wide option for UTD right now.

I wouldn't mind but I would prefer him to play at least 50 senior games on loan and come back properly competing for a spot.
 
Scored again. Brighton currently 2-1 up.
 
Brighton scored an excellent first through Zamora but conceded a sloppy goal in first half injury time. They were going nowhere until Wilson and Lua Lua came on. Wilson scored with a nicely placed header.

The lad has been living off scraps of late with Brighton having so many injuries to their more creative players. If Lua Lua stays fit and as Knockaert beds in, I expect to see him getting better service and scoring more frequently.
 
Happy he scored with a header. That was one area of his game I had no clue how to assess because he rarely did it.
 
They went on a 5 game run of scoring no goals so the whole team was a bit of a mess. Scored 3 and has meant to be impressive even when he hasn't scored by creating chances and coming close to scoring. Only seen 2 matches myself. Most of them are shitting themselves about him being recalled so the fans seem to rate him too. Sounds like that illness has stuck around a while too.

Starts on the bench today, the illness is meant to be really messing with his fitness but word is he might be finally over it so he can start building his fitness back up again. Supposedly looked dead on his feet after 10 minutes against Huddersfield, still scored though.
 
Wilson is on for Zamora in the second half.
 
I'm a bit bemused that he isn't starting every game, clearly he's twice the player of any of their other forwards.

He's been ill. He was throwing up on the pitch before the Wolves match and his fitness levels have been poor because of it. He started most matches before that.

Yet he was by far the best player on the pitch against Wolves, he played the full 90 (or close to) if I remember correctly.

Yeah, he is a fantastic player, thats why he has continued to play despite being ill. He hasn't been able to physically handle starting games recently because of it though. He has been gassed after a few minutes in recent matches, his face has been discoloured and he has looked visibly ill. That is why he hasn't been starting and once he gets back to full fitness he will be.
 
illness really fecked him up, hopefully he will recover quickly.....
As for the game tonight, such a weird cameo for him. Was awful in front of the goal, area where he is probably the strongest but he had some good moves in his all-around play. Few nice passes and crosses, few times covered up for midfielders and he saved a goal with his block.
