To not play him, and when we do, give him 10 minutes, as a winger, is managerial incompetence.
He really is turning into one of strangest signings that our illustrious leader has ever made (i'm not mean sh1te signings) there has been fkn loads of them but just down right wierd and the question needs to be asked why did we even bother signing him? and why did Wilson even bother coming?
Its pretty clear that the lad has got more footballing skill in his left big toe than the majority of our whole first team ffs.
But yet after 12 competitive games this season he has start only 2 and was subbed in both.
Got 3 fkn minutes against St Mirren.
Got 9 fkn minutes against Saint Johnstone
a grand total of 31 fkn minutes in our euro "campaign" and 55 minutes against Dundee in the up (30 of which was created by the need for Extra Time) so technically 25.
This season we have played 1080 minutes of football in normal time and Wilson has played 205 (plus 30 extra time)
I just can't figure it all out, why have we signed the lad

I feel sorry for Wilson - getting on for the final few minutes of games, and being played out of position, is not much more than an insult. If we were in free-scoring form, creating loads of chances, banging them in and winning games, I could understand McInnes not changing the lineup or formation. But we're not. The 3 central midfielders thing isn't working. Cosgrove is in the team on merit due to his goals (and his general play has improved), so I'm not calling for him to be dropped to make way for Wilson. Just put Wilson in alongside him please and play a 442. I can pretty much guarantee it will be more effective and more enjoyable to watch than the rubbish we're currently being served up.
Will it happen? No. We've got a midfield injury crisis, and what will likely happen is someone like Vyner will play in a defensive midfield role instead, or Curtis Main will be deployed in the 10 role just to run around a lot as Stevie May did for the previous 2 years.
When you consistently play a 4-2-3-1 (especially the way we play it) you don’t have the scope for 2 up top. McInnes sets out his teams first to make them hard to beat. His focus isn’t on scoring goals and making us more entertaining. He wasn’t an entertainer himself so he will always be dull as he hasn’t been taught entertaining football through his SFA coaching badges.
Are there many managers these days that play 4-4-2?
I don’t agree with it but most teams play with 1 striker up front.
That’s why modern football is pish to watch,everyone is scared to get beat.
