Desp Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I don't think Wilkinson's issue was his footballing ability. I think he underestimated Scottish Football and got a bit of a shock when he very quickly realised it wasn't kick and rush fitba like League 1/League 2 in England. However, as Co-Convenor of The NumberPolis (alongside @crazylegsjoe_mfc) it's heartening to see we've launched #99 & #77 already this season, and realised that #66 is no longer any good and have him nowhere near the side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I think Wilkinson was... fine. Probably isn't worth what we were presumably paying him and 3 goals doesn't look great on paper but if we'd persisted for the second half of the season and he'd left after scoring 6 or 7 I think folk would be saying he hadn't worked out but had did a job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's at least contributed a wee bit last season and scored off his arse at Parkhead. I'd say there's a number worse be he certainly is not anywhere near good or even average 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta Nut Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 There may be worse players we've taken a chance on but I mean giving Obika a deal (plus an option for another, in our own hands hopefully) when he'd been at the club and we knew he'd spend more time on the treatment table was fucking madness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My abiding memory of him will forever be him coming on against Inverness with 10 minutes left where just sprinted around running into things. Not sure he touched the ball. Absolutely hopeless. That and that we emptied him for nothing after he was snapped doing balloons with Holly Hagan. A perfect ending to an absolute dumpling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think those in charge at the club would have been doing cartwheels when that story appeared, nice wee breach of contract to show him the door. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I had the dubious pleasure of watching Blyth playing for the 20s ages ago against Thistle and he was, genuinely, hopeless. Despite being a "senior" player he looked completely lost. Even the goal he scores looks like it's a mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My perception of time is all over the place with this… Motherwell U20s: Pain, McMillan, Livingstone, Maguire (Armstrong ’60), Chalmers, Campbell, Fry, Turnbull, Blyth (Mackin ’65), Hastie, Gordon (Scott ’82) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
