Why has Mark Wilson been dropped? | TalkCeltic

Mystic Penguin · Oct 15, 2011

Any idea why he hasn't been playing as much. He was my favorite player last season He was class.

DannybhoyCFC · Oct 15, 2011

I think he has a knock, can't be too certain though. I like Du-Ri Cha, but Wilson was faultless last season.

Keane7 · Oct 15, 2011

Cha would be good at right mid, with Forrest on the left.

Its a strange one, he was fantastic for us this last season, but doesnt seem to have a look in just now. Matthews looks to be getting better and it may be that Lennon doesnt fancy him in the side just now. Think he could still do a job though. Useful utility player

Mystic Penguin · Oct 15, 2011

He's only made 5 league appearances this season looking at his stats.

im_ant · Oct 15, 2011

In the few chances he's had to start this season he's not looked as good as last season. He deserves more of a chance though, he's the type of player who needs a run of games to get going.

Wilson was excellent last season we used to joke about him being a goal machine !! Not sure why he hasn't figured this season I thought it was due to injury :97:

Must agree though I thought he had a great year last year and really consistant :50:

Think his showing at Ipox might have summit to with it, he was awful that day:38:

Shane1888 · Oct 15, 2011

Matthews has been immense lately. He was one of the stand out players in what was a poor team performance today, along with Stokes and Forrest. I would play Matthews at left back though, with Wilson playing at right back.

I don't rate Cha that much at all and he'd be best off finding a new club in January, as I don't see him being anything more than a bit part player for Celtic now.

I think the fact that he’s been rotten this season has a lot to do with it. Yes he was great last year when called upon but he hasn't rediscovered that form yet and Cha and Wilson have both looked far superior.

Cha has been excellent every game I've seen him play this season and Matthews looks like a steal as well but maybe just needs to cut out the odd lapse.

Just like everyone else.

Really hope matthews hasnt taken over in lennys mind, wilson really found his form last year after years of injuries, and chipped in with important goals.

I like Matthews. I dont mind Cha - he looks good going foward but not great at the back. Problem is when you play Cha along with Izzy/ El Ka on the other side you leave the defence pretty thin and the two donkeys in the middle cannot cope.

Apart from Brown now that I think about it. :56:

Tulf · Oct 15, 2011

who ever said Matthews at LB and Wilson at RB I agree with 100%, Wilson always tries 100% for Celtic, unlike more than half the players here right now.

HendoBhoy67 · Oct 16, 2011

All the 5 games he has played he's been rank. that's probably why

NickP1888 · Oct 16, 2011

Yeah Wilson's a fan so he gees a * unlike all our "superstars" Him on the right, Matthews on the left until Izaguirre is fit

cat123 · Oct 16, 2011

I don't know why people don't rate Cha he was one of our better players today again.

Again? Hes not played in ages and his defending is horrific, would rather my fullback could defend better than they can attack :50:
