davetherivelinowl Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 In the MoM thread v Shrewsbury I described Wilks as '5 - I don't remember him making any positive contribution' I've since looked at his stats on whoscored and it appears I was far too generous. Including 5 mins of injury time he was on the field for 20 minutes but only managed 5 touches and only attempted 3 passes, none of which were accurate giving him a pass accuracy of 0%. I don't think I've ever seen such abysmal stats for anyone on the pitch for 20 mins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post S72 Owl Posted November 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2022 Really disappointed in him. Chased him all summer, had a great record in league 1 when Hull got promoted but looks like a one trick pony to me. Needs to improve massively. The fact that Mighten is now starting games ahead of him shows that he’s got a long way to go yet. Hopefully he’ll come good the 2nd half of the season though, a bit like Berahino last year. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Neill Donaldson Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Early days, but he's looked awful so far. I still don't think he's fit (looks a little heavy still), so i guess it's hard to get up to speed with sub appearances. Expected more though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Couldn’t believe he got subbed on before Gregory yesterday 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owling Wolfe Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 He looked lazy in the half time subs warm up. Really think his attitude is all wrong. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeyswfc Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Looks like he needs to be the main man, an arm round type. Doesnt look like he wants to contribute to a team game. Not sure where he fits in. Not looking great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 That's a crazy stat! I've never seen a player have 0% accuracy, unless they've only been on the pitch for a couple of minutes. Compare that with some of his teammates...

Took him his first 3 games to pass the ball to a team mate. He’s got it in him and he’s strong but fookme, he thinks he’s the dogsbollocks. Too arrogant IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Another odd Wilks stat is that he's been directly involved in a league goal every 63 minutes he's played for us so far, placing him way ahead of everyone else in the squad by this metric. And yet his overall performances have been severely lacking to every reasonable observer, I assume. It just goes to show, it's not just about putting the ball in the back of the net (or teeing up someone else to do so), is it? He clearly has the quality to make an impact at this level, but he needs to start putting in some more complete performances soon if he's not going to be a bit of a flop for us. Watching him refuse to take on his marker several times in the last 20 mins or so yesterday was infuriating - when we needed his pace to offer a threat on the break, it was nonexistent. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeonLeon Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Malik Wilks isn’t the type of player who’s game relies around arbitrary passing stats. He was brought on to give Shrewsbury something to think about on the counter, and did a fair bit of important defensive work too. Moore didn’t get any of the subs right yesterday too, so I’d find it hard to criticise any of the players that came on for not having a bigger contribution. For some reason Wilks seems to be getting hammer from Wednesday fans, who clearly hadn’t seen him play before, because they themselves built him up to be a world beater. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
