SC thinks he looks and plays like a young and raw Ian Wright. We
turned Wright down after a trial down here and looked what happened. If SC thinks he's good enough for a short term contract
none of you can convince me it's a bad move
and please don't compare him to Stafford Browne, we've moved on a long way since then!

Luckily he isn’t being signed by Taylor or Hinshelwood.
Coppell knows what he is doing, and I am sure CWD will prove his worth. Good to see the squad bolstered further. Also, the short term deal will probably work out well for the club.

COUNTY GALLERY
CARL WILSON-DENIS by Ray Taylor
At the age of 21, CARL WILSON-DENIS is looking to make a big impact at County and early impressions suggest the Londoner will succeed. And if he does so he can thank his strike partner Jamie Moralee!
Carl was born in Westminster and has always lived in Battersea except for a short time when he moved to Ireland in search of football fame and fortune. He still lives close to the banks of the Thames but he is now looking to move to Wales to pursue his football ambitions at County.
“I enjoyed all sports at school and was pretty good at tennis, table tennis and badminton as well as football. I played for local clubs and for schools teams but I always seemed to be let down when I hoped someone would give me my chance at football.”
Carl always saw himself as a forward but also chose to play in midfield to try to improve his skills and ability on the ball. His first big break came with Kingstonian, who were then a Conference club with an academy.
“Martin Strong, their youth team manager, though I might get a chance in the first team and I always believed I was good enough, but they hit a bad spell and it is not easy for a youngster when that happens.”
Carl’s next opportunity came with his invitation to travel to Ireland where he played under-21 football for Mullinger in West Meath. He matched his skills with the young players of leading Irish sides like Shelbourne and Bohemians and he enjoyed the experience before suffering a couple of injuries.
“I came back in March 2003 and it was difficult to get matches before the end of the season. Then I met my agents Tony Finnigan and Uben Gray and they helped me in the summer, recommending me to Steve Coppell who was then manager at Brighton.
“He offered me a three month contract and made comparisons with Ian Wright who had always been my hero.
He sent me on loan to Crawley for two months and I scored seven goals for them before coming back to Brighton.”
Unfortunately for Carl, Coppell moved on to Reading and his former assistant Bob Booker took over on a temporary basis. He disappointed the young forward saying that he felt that Carl needed to talk more and show more aggression, comments that Carl found hard to accept.
His confidence was clearly affected and though Crawley wanted him to sign a contract, he moved on. He played a few games for both Cambridge City and Fisher Athletic before the end of the season. He had no interest in staying with the Docklands based club, setting his sights on a higher standard of football and his future was again uncertain before the intervention of his present team mate Jamie.
“Jamie Moralee knows a lot of people and he has been a big help, recommending me here. I came to play in the Bristol City friendly without knowing anyone but everybody has made me feel really welcome and it meant a lot to me to be cheered by our fans in the clubhouse after the Weymouth game.”
His late goal in that game when he charged down Jason Matthews’ clearance produced one of the biggest cheers ever heard at Spytty!
CARL’S TOP TEN
Best Game : ....................................... The win against Weymouth. It was great to play in that game and to score the late goal. If I did what I did a hundred times, only once would it be a goal!
Most embarrassing moment : ...... Turning up for a game without my boots.
Role model : ....................................... Ian Wright.
Why I chose County : ....................... The call from Jamie. I wanted to spend at least a season at the same club and it seemed like a good opportunity.
Favourite other club : ....................... Arsenal.
If County could sign anybody : ....... Thierry Henry. He might threaten my place in the side though.
Best opponent : ................................. Centre back Danny Cullip in training at Brighton
Biggest influence on my career : . My parents Colin and Valerie.
Favourite other sport : ..................... Snooker.
Favourite artist : ................................ Marvin Gaye.

Carl Wilson-Denis (FORWARD) Young striker who started his career with Kingstonian. Then spent time in the Irish Eircom under-21 league with Mullingar Town before signing for Brighton following a successful trial in 2001. Was loaned to Crawley Town early in the 2003/04 season and then made the move permanent before switching to rivals Cambridge City in February 2004 and then Fisher Athletic a month or so later. Moved onto Newport County in the summer of 2004. However, things didn't quite work out for him in Wales and he spent time on loan with Brackley Town before moving to Dulwich Hamlet in January 2005. But that moved lasted barely a couple of weeks as he re-joined Brackley, this time on a permanent basis. Joined Robins start of 05/06 campaign

No wonder the mighty Newport County are struggling!
Getting rid of Carl Wilson-Dennis AND Jamie Moralee is a terrible decision.
Nicholls OUT !!
Oh ... he's gone too.
