Pre season friendlies at Macc, Preston, Tranmere and Dale

That doesn't look like the Wilkinson from last season's pictures. The poser haircut has gone and he seems a bit more solid looking. (OK, he's stood next to Spearing so it could be an optical illusion).

↑↑↑ a very conservative look. Has he been Dougied ?

trust bobo to mourn the loss of a poseur haircut!

[Enoch]

Is that shorthand for developed?

[bobo the clown]

I think it's the shirt tucked into the kecks tbh. .... & the apparent lack of joy, I'm assuming, after scoring.

[malcd1]

The two goals.

Those shorts are dangerously close to being pulled up to Mark Seagraves heights.

The two goals.

wilkinson is certainly playing it cool there! "yeah, guys, like, I scored a goal, like, but it's no biggie..."

[Prufrock]

Cracking goals the pair, particularly the turn run and goal out of nothing from creativity's Neil Danns.

[BWFC_Insane]

This Wilkinson lad, given our striker shortage, could he be an option?

I mean I can see that Clough physically might not be ready and doesn't seem to fit into the system Dougie wants, nor is he particularly the target man we need.

Wilkinson is at least tall and might have a chance? I haven't ever seen him play!

[bobo the clown]

So, a full-back cum winger should be played at centre forward because he's taller than Spearing.

mmmm ... let's think that one through.

Think away all you like. Only Wilkinson is a striker.

I think you're mixing him up with Hayden White. Signed at the same time last summer. White from Sheff Wed and Wilko from Milwall....

[Dr Hotdog]

As you saw from the (very well taken) goal, Wilkinson is as one-footed as it gets. Definite potential but his right side needs working on, boy.

I wouldn't mind him bagging a goal per game with his left...

Tell Arjen Robben that!

[Dr Hotdog]

or Stewart Downing.

[Prufrock]

Don't. Stewart Downing definitely has stuck one in from 25 yards with his right peg.

Why are left-footed players generally so one footed? Is it coz they just get stuck wide-left automatically so they don't need to learn how not to be?

[KeyserSoze]

Yes, we ALL get stuck out wide left...
