BMR Posted 6 August 2005 Share Posted 6 August 2005 we have criticised him, debated him and today seen him at full fitness, on what is a weak left wing what do you reckon, does he deserve to start, or who can we play there if not (i dont think Tiatto is a good option, opinion though) , or do we look for a pacey left side player to complement what i think on the right (maybury/sylla) is half decent.

Fox 4 Life Posted 6 August 2005 Share Posted 6 August 2005 He's ok but all he seemed to do was hoof the ball forward and over hit his corners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he was pretty poor today but then he got into a couple of good positions in the first half beyond the last defender which shows the benefit of plaing with width rather than a narrow left sided player like Tiatto. Wilcox is too slow and his delivery too poor though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Posted 6 August 2005 Share Posted 6 August 2005 He was decent today, but he kept hoofing it which was annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted 6 August 2005 Share Posted 6 August 2005 I don't particularly like any of our choice of left wingers. Wilcox does offer more attacking options, he does try to get forward and have shots, get crosses in.. which we need. Tiatto on the other hand is far more defensive and less effective when attacking. How slow was he though whenever we got a corner in the first half? There must have been at least 30 seconds break every time we got a corner, surely this benefits the opposition to mark up?

Babylon Posted 6 August 2005 Share Posted 6 August 2005 Didn't do much wrong but wasn't great either. To be honest we have worse things to worry about than wilcox at this point IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muz Posted 6 August 2005 Share Posted 6 August 2005 Wilcox did ok today , although he started to hoof it quite abit. I was dissapointed with Gilbert when he came on , he got skinned twice which resulted in 2 goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Mad Posted 6 August 2005 Share Posted 6 August 2005 i dont think he did much wrong other than tire towards the end of the match. We wont bring in anymore players other than a striker so its him and tiatto for the left wing spot. Gilbert looked pretty average but Levein said he isnt the finished article yet, but i partly blame Levein for that defeat - why change the back 4 in a very tight game like that, very amateur Micky Adams style change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more worrying is our goalkeeper, central defensive organisation, De Vries and our lack of concentration when things go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burger Posted 6 August 2005 Share Posted 6 August 2005 Wilcox was ok I guess, a bit weak on the ball but created a couple of decent openings. Was not impressed with Gilbert, my friend thought he was a random youth player against kettering ... it's not his fault but we needed to direct funds towards a decent striker (not counting out Hammond yet but it was a far from impressive signing).

I thought he was ok today, I didn't really think he passed it at all and at least he tried to shoot which is more than can be said for some players. I don't really like either of our options on LW (Tiatto goes inside too much and only crosses with his right foot) so I don't really mind who plays there out of the two we have.

Although I was livid when Wilcox was offered a new contract I thought he did reaosnably well today and kept a bit of width on the left side at least.

lookwhaticando Posted 8 August 2005 Share Posted 8 August 2005 Can Hughes play left side easily? I would have thought we wanted Hughes in the centre of midfield, or am I missing the point? Would we stick Tiatto in Centre mid, if Hughes was to take the left side? Might work, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supedaj Posted 8 August 2005 Share Posted 8 August 2005 Wilcox is fine there - he was a bit slow but that'll improve after a few matches. He got into decent positions and made intelligent runs fwd. Didnt lose the ball much with short passes and his choice of when to shoot or pass improved as we saw when he got the ball in the penalty area twice during the match. We definitely need width on the left side - no question about that. No point having a defensive left side midfielder because teams will catch that soon enough and simply concentrate on marking Sylla. Teams will be scared sh1tless when they see crosses coming in from both and right. Channeling everything down the right through Sylla will put him under pressure and any bad move he makes will result in fans jumping on his back. We deffo need two winger outlets - one for each side and a defensive midfielder and attacking midfielder in central... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
