yarddog73 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Whilst others are taking most of the plaudits for some recent decent results and rightly so this lad has settled in and is slipping under the radar, for me he has been very steady compliments Lockwood and could be a nice little find, was a little wary about his number of starts before he came to us but he looks a good player at this level has a nice touch a bit of pace and looks a good uncomplicated player, dont know who would be keeping him out of Bristols team but there loss is our gain.

youngen Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hes a decent defender, but it says something when Adam Lockwood is the more conmfortable of the 2 on the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 really ? see it differently myself he tidies up a lot of Lockwoods good work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 They look good enough as a partnership. There were times on Saturday where Lockwood was being outpaced but he gets his frame in the way just as the attacker is going past to slow them down/divert them away and Wilson used his pace to get back and mop up. Likewise when one of their lads got past Wilson, Lockwood was often laying in wait to stop them. Most of Gillingham's chances came from the flanks and not down the middle. They were restricted to long range efforts when attacking down the middle. It may be that the whole is better than the sum of the parts with Lockwood/Wilson together but that's great for us and long may it continue.

pukka Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) On sunday morning a conversation with my dad went like this: "so far has Jon Stead made us a better team?" "No, not really" "Has losing Tarky made us much worse of a team?" "No - these 2 are doing alright for me" "Wilson just defends, I'll take that. He is better than I expected him to be after reading reports on him" - Im happy with him. It's early days, but he is doing a good job for me.

yarddog73 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 agree thats how I see it pukka, was a little apprehensive as I thought the two may be suseptible to a little pace but as time goes on they could prove to be a nice little partnership, defenders who defend may allow wes or korey a bit of freedom to push on and support our attacks.

petelatics Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Yes Lockwood and Wilson are uncomplicated. So far so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 My first sight of them on Saturday, I'd say they are a decent pair for the level. Neither are Tarky/Mellor style ball players but we've moved on from their with going long from GKs anyway. Let's not overlook they can both play more than Big John who many liked for one aspect of his defensive game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcmetty Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 He'd be better if he'd stop attempting to play the long ball into the (empty) corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GravityGrave Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I think Wilson is solid nothing more , nothing less . For a league one centre half he has a good turn of pace that gets him out of tricky situations . Average distribution . Whilst the Lockwood / Wilson has not yielded many goals against , we miss a tarky and/or grounds bringing the ball out from the back and opening the pitch up .
