Great to see a fit Wilson

Silly old bat
I hope he doesn't have any repercussions from the nasty foul on him. He took a hefty whack to his ankle, and was hobbling for the rest of the game. The clueless ref did nothing about it.

Will be very handy indeed during the run in if we can get him firing.
Hemed and Wilson is my prefered pairing up front.

He finally looked fit again last night and played well. I'm sure he will contribute some more absolutely vital goals between now and season end.

strong and stable with me, or...
Great that he is back, his pace and guile worries other teams, and he is proving to be clinical in front of goal.
Only caveat from me is that he does appear to me to be a touch on the lazy side. Whereas Murphy, Knockeart and Baldock are running their arses off pressing the ball, Wilson doesn't appear to be prepared to put in that kind of graft - and to be clear, it was that pressing that knocked Reading off their game for most of the match.
So, more goals from Baldock, more working off the ball from Wilson and we're all good.

This. I thought he looked k-nackered most of the time and did half the work of the other forward players. Was amazed that he stayed on until the end.

Delicious finish to put his chance away

Great goal, but to be honest I thought he looked lazy as hell, especially next to Baldock who DID put a shift in...

Great finish, but average game. Would argue he still doesn't quite look the threat we all hoped he would be. Suspect some of that is down to him not playing alongside a big man though, he needs that physical support.
Loved his "full double teapot" when the subs were made, and it wasn't him!

Well taken goal. He is frustrating though. He seems to often drop too deep and Baldock kept having a go at him when he was trying to press the defence and Wilson should have been closing off the simple pass to the other defender. But overall I think he could be crucial for the run in.

Good grief - you didn't mention Murray when talking about our strikers.

Didn't he miss an easy chance before the goal, shooting direct at Al Habsi rather than the gaping goal either side of him!
That was Stephens

Big mistake if we dont get someone in my opinion

I suspect he'd be much more effective as the player highest up - CH seems to want to play him as the deeper of the two strikers and it negates a lot of his strengths i.e. directness, pace, clinical ability in front of goal.
But I thought he played well last night and showed his class with the finish. If I'm being honest, there isn't another forward at the club who I'd want our chances falling to in the run in.

This. Baldock deserved better support than he got. Good to take 3 points and give Wilson 90 minutes, hope it helps him kick on but Hemef back in the starting line up at MK for me.
