if that the case why did we extend to January after the initial month
Mark Phillips
The fact is Bennett lacks pace and is not a big centre half, therefore he has two areas of weakness - 1) Quick forwards who easily out pace him and secondly big forwards who out muscle him. I remember the 16 year old Ipswich striker who gave him all sorts of trouble in the pre-season game.........
Don't get me wrong, I like the guy but he isn't anywhere near the quality of Wilson.

I am a fan of Bennett and think Phillips has been one of our best players this season but still think talk of not playing Wilson is stupid, he is easily the best CB we have available!
Agree that he shouldn't come in for one of the full backs though!

it was extended on the last day of the transfer windon and Bennet was already back playing

Just a thought guys - having seen Wilson play I think he should be in the team - and I wouldn't mind seeing him play in the midfield.
His runs from defence have been pretty effective and he is a natural ball winner. He has speed and he is capable of incisive passes - he would definitely "beef" up our central area......just a thought ..........!

I have not seen many games this year but the ones i have seen Wilson looks like a very good footballer who could play at a higher level and the comments on here all seem to say the same thing he misses one game due to international duty and there are comment like leave him on the bench from what i have seen he should be in the team at centre back for either AB or MP lets let AS make that decision

At the end of the day it does not matter who Wilson comes back for or not as the case may be, or whether the person he replaces has played well or not, its about picking a team to get 3 points. If we win I don't care who plays. Each team selection to be judged on a game by game basis, no room for sentiment. I trust that Andy will do what's best for the team, if he does not then he is failing in his job methinks...

But he hasn't, he has played wilson at RB when all 3 are fit. If he through wilson and and bennett was the best pairing he would have dropped phillips and played foster at RB two weeks ago.
On the other hand if AS had a squad of players he thought was good enough he would play them as when available and fit and drop them if they lose form (unless its bennett of course) and mix it up as he felt necessary.
Maybe there is no conspiracy theory.

why dont we just solve the problem by playing 5 at the back and then dickson/foster can push down the wings?
just a thought....
Possibly because we have brought 3 new players into our squad who are all wingers to join Wood and it would be a shame to drop all 4 to accomodate a CB who is on loan and is basically back up to the two CB's we own.
Why completely change a system to squash in a CB, we have 3 CB's fighting over two places which is the way it should always be. They will all get their chance, just do not play one of them at RB IMO.

Correction - BFC has four CB's and one loanee fighting over two places.

I think you understand the point I make whether it is 2,3 or 4 fighting or a place.
Maybe we should play 4 at the back with wingbacks and one holding midfielder and then three up front then they can all get a game (except the midfield of course)

He professes tn be fit, but is he? After what we found out at Exeter, when he walked past us with a big ice pack on his knee, he owes BFC to bee honest about his fitness.

Good news that the squad has been further enhanced.
I hope that Pim's loan can be extended and Legge cannot be dropped at the moment so we are more than covered now for central defenders even if Wilson goes back in Jan.

Wilson, Pim, Legge, Osborne, Bennett, Phillips, too many centre halfs at the club at the moment

Agreed, too many CBs now.
Wilsons loan wont be renewed and I can see Osborne going out on loan in January - although I'd have him at right back ahead of Foster.

Who is MP trying to kid. Even if he has recovered his fitness he aint match fit, It would be stupid to drop Legge or Pim now to accomodate him.
Mark Phillips
I would send out Karleigh out on loan.
Keep Wilson for as long as we can and start him at CB.

As he states he would play him at RB then it can only be one person.
Foster is ok at best and has no real competition apart from Wilson or Osborne playing out of position.I wonder if Scott might look for a RB on loan in January instead of keeping Wilson. Especially if we could get Pim for the season

Pim and Legge can't be touched at the moment. Phillips started well but he and whoever weren't capable of helping keep a clean sheet for a fair few weeks.

Legge stepping up to the mark has been a huge surprise but a very pleasant one.
It may mean the end of Wilson's spell with us which would be a shame but Legge is ours and will undoubtably get even better.
Phillips can only be back up centre half at the moment at best.
To keep Wilson others would have to be moved on, can't see who and where but AS has a habit of coming up with surprises so you never know.

If we can't extend Balkestein's loan, then Phillips would be the player to come in for me. He was our best defender at the start of the season, and Exeter was his only bad game.
I think Osborne needs a month on loan at a League 2 side, leaving Bennett as our back-up option.

Good post stanley. IMo Legge has been the surprise package this season. I dont think any forward in Division ! will enjoy being marked by him. Look at tye way he kept Beckwood or Beckford (Whatever his ****ing name is) quiet last Saturday.

Let's not forget that Pim had as much to do with Beckford having an average game. They worked well as a pair I thought so credit is definitely overdue to Holland's number 1.

Guessing it will be either be Pim or Wilson to stay for the season depending on what the parent clubs have to say

Pim has been superb. A very hard looking bastard who I'm sure panto dame Beckford didn't fancy upsetting.
Mark Phillips
Im sure Keane said Pims was in his plans so for the long term loan Wilson would seem more likely.
But i like Wilson and dont wanna see him go, he'll leave Bristol City and go off and be a hero somewhere else, on a free probs.
lets get him signed up.
It was not long ago everyone was bum licking Wilson and now....?

****ing right son. Just imagine your a forward with those two to beat Legge & Pim) If it were me I'd be sh*tting a brick.
Mark Phillips
I would like to see us sign James Wilson, Pim and Legge will keep their places for the time being but things change. If Keane calls Pim back and Wilson goes back to Briz we'll be left with 3 centre backs which IMO only one is good enough.....Captain Mark
It's true people on here were singing his praises, I still am, but now it appears the fickle bunch aren't bothered if he stays or goes......

Even though Wilson can't be accommodated at centre-back at the moment, I just fail to see how he isn't in the side at right-back ahead of Foster. Even allowing for the fact that he would be a 'centre-back-playing-out-of-position' Wilson has real quality, even playing at full-back.
He's got to be better than Foster who in my opinion is no more than League Two standard. He gives opposing players far too much room and he's a one-trick-pony when playing the ball forward.

Assuming they are fit, has to be Pim and Leon for MK. Phillips would be competing with Wilson to be third choice IMHO at the moment. What happens next may depend largely on how willing Ipswich are to extend Pim's loan, but of the 6 CBs we have at present, I would expect at least 1, possibly 2, to have gone by the end of Jan

if you were a betting man Southey, where do you think he will be off too next ?
Mark Phillips
anywhere he can to get a game as that's why players like him go on loan I know the two centre backs have done well but a can't see why james was moved to rb after the millwall game I would imagine when he came back from international duty he was dissapointed to see another cb in on loan in the space of two weeks he went from a decent young footballer to crap and send him back WOW

I guess the manager's there to make those kind of decisions. After all, players don't get sacked do they?
