Wilkerson

[Alan W (GNFC)]

According to RK, he had had flu all week and "his body just gave out" - if that was the case, he did brilliantly for the first 70 minute (apart from that one dropped cross & thatr was partially the fault of the defender in front of him).

Apparently he got hit by a missile from those Notts County "Fans"

If that was the case, then the FA need to investigate - I dont want to use that as an excuse, but I recall one game before now (cant remember which off hand) being ordered to be replayed after such an incident. (And I dont know the truth of it and no-one else has suggested a missile, so I'm not pre-judging this)

Neither do I, according to my frnd, whose frnd watched the game on sky, I will watch the game before choosing to believe it or not, just thought I wud mention it to see if any1 else new of it

I assure that our fans aren't usually the type that go around throwing things at opposition players. If it is I hope that they are found and banned!

 

He was streching his leg at least 10 minutes before he went off, my brother said he thought he looked injured.

[Gordon T]

Aye well I just watched the part where he goes down and didnt see any kind of missiles

[FleetFanatic]

He definately looked injured.

 

As for the flu story - all I can say is that he seemed ok the entire first half and we were near his goal!

 

Overall, we had 10 minutes of bad luck & a certain player losing it that changed the outcome of the game.

Wilkerson has been brilliant for us this season as he was last year too. His injury/illness was a great loss to us tonight but the turning point which I believe cost us the game was the dismissal of Gibbs. A straight red for what appears to have been a bad foul left us fragile at the back. I have yet to see it again on TV but if it was as bad as it appeared I for one hope that Andy shows him the door!

I was in the tunnel for RK on Saturday, and when Wilko came off, the poor guy was in tears! After he'd showered and came out to watch the end (after the sending off) he told me that he'd been in bed best part of the week and only just made Thursday training! Given all of that what a performance from the big man!

That said, poor old Alex having to live up to that especially given the start... fantastic save and you then look to you defense to do their bit. "Dont waste the save boys" - a comment an old manager of mine. If that corner had been cleared it would have been so different.

Personally I can see why County are where they are, but it still baffles me why the Fleet are where they are!

They've showed everyone what they can do on this cup run - they've given you all a treat - now get behind them and push them up that table!!!
