Can someone who was there tonight give a rating on Wilsons performance. I was excited by his signiture but a tad disappointed in his performance against Forrest. Did brilliantly with his effort that was tipped over in that game but was slightly concerned about his endeavour to track & win the ball back. How did he do overall tonight?

Will never read too much into pre-season but, a few obvious things stand out.

This is a squad designed to play with three CBs and wingbacks. The WBs play as high as the forwards and have more creative responsibilities than defensive. Worrall played as forward as he did last season so I wouldn't fret that he'll be held back, he's just expected to track.

I was very impressed by the CBs who started and Jones on the left surprised me and looked technically very sound. Worrall looked a bit lost with his marking but grew into the game on the right.

Covolan made 2/3 very good stops and caught more crosses tonight than we did last season.

The midfield all love the ball and there were a few passages of play where we knocked it around nicely.

Rodney is sharp. I expect Wilson to improve on that showing (he was poor tonight) but won't be making overall judgements yet.

We're absolutely huge. Martin, Walker, and Johnson are absolute monsters.

Still absolutely no idea how we'll fare. Not convinced going forward yet.

Pretty toothless up front imo

He spent more time tracking back than anything else tonight. I'm not sure what to make of him

How was Proctor when he came on? Could he be a decent alternative if Wilson isn’t firing? 

Didn't do much. Can't really judge as we didn't get forward much late on. Big lad.

Wouldn’t draw too much conclusion about a signing based on their performances in a friendly. Time to judge for me is when the season starts. I think LWB will be between benning and Jones. Plus Jones will also provide competition for Johnson as the left sided centre half. Clearly we’re going to use a long throw too, much like cheltenham did last season.

Based on what I have seen the jury is still out. We do look toothless and lacking a goal threat. Wilson has not shown anything that I thought he would and yes the old friendlies are meaningless adage does apply to the results, but not the performances. 
 

The performances to me seem to weigh more towards another season of mid table stuff, not the big promotion charge everyone, including me hopes for.
