As for whether there was a feeling that Wilson needed to be eased back into things, I would have said that the better thing to have done in that case would have been to start with Ojo or Murphy in the side and introduce Wilson for, say, the last quarter of the match.
I'd prefer to see Wilson used more through the middle than stuck out on the wing. Neil Harris hinted that it wouldn't be Moore and Glatzel picked up front together all of the time if we persisted with two strikers, so I reckon we could see him used more as a striker at times. When Moore and Glatzel are starting though, I think Wilson will have to be used as a winger because I don't see us playing with two strikers and a number ten unless we're losing.
