Fantasy football not even flagged. Fantasy football brigade are fanatics on this stuff. Hopefully a non story. If he limped off then much better than carried off on stretcher. I think he’ll be ok 👍🏻

It just looked like his ankle was accidentally stepped on to me as he was on the floor. 'Flesh' wound I reckon.

Glad he’s playing today. Needs to be match fit after a lot of time out.

Replaced by Dan James, 60th minute. Assume it was tactical/precautionary, was it? Hopefully!?

Tactical. He looked decent too

I agree.
Harry played well. Had a brilliant shot saved and at least 2-3 very decent crosses.
Could be a major player for us next week ;-)

Has to start in a midfield 3 with Ampadu & Ramsey I think

First goal of the season for Harry in the cup

Really pleased for him, I think he's almost certainly going to start in central midfield for us now.

I've never known a player to be so good at Championship level, and then so out of their depth one level up in the premiership. His physical deficiencies were really shown up after coming on against Brentford tonight, where he lost the ball every time he received it including an embarrassing lack of pace on one counter and 2 or 3 other instances where he was just shrugged off the ball.

Funny you should say that, I was thinking the same. Although, I worry less for Harry at international level. Every time he was physically man-handled / bullied off the ball (if it were in international football) we would have had a free-kick!

Seemed at one point like he’d have a good career ahead of him at prem level but his career trajectory (as with so many other young players who came through at the same time) seems to have levelled off.

He's always been a hell of a light weight, and tends to overcompensate by being reckless and too aggressive at times.
I'm always amazed when people have him down as a starter because he's a bit inconsistent and has a habit of going missing in games.

He's had some really good games for us, Finland (H) & Austria (H) spring to mind. I agree he's inconsistent but feel he's been unlucky this season. He could have started the season on the back of a great Championship campaign, but a lengthy injury meant Fulham have had to find alternatives, and the fact they've continued to do well without him makes it hard for him to get back in
But I do think that he's good enough to be a top flight player. The question is do we need him to be? As a regular doing well in the Champ he'd defo start for us now - but when he's in and out it's not a guarantee

As the long term successor to Ramsey you’d be hoping that he was premier league quality for a club like Brentford (not necessarily the biggest but well run, decent standard of football and not relegation threatened). Having to drop down to be a regular starter in the championship would indicate a real drop off in quality in an area where we’ve already suffered such a drop by losing Allen. Hence why I feel there are some lean years ahead with the likes of James and Wilson not really kicking on at prem level

He had a bad game yesterday but I think he's having an okay-to-good season so far. Back in the Premier League, injured at the start, international break in the middle - let's not rush to conclusions.

Hence why I feel there are some lean years ahead with the likes of James and Wilson not really kicking on at prem level I disagree. Top 10 in the Pren are essentially a different league to the bottom half of the league. The bottom half and the top end of the Championship are closer in quality. Him dropping down to the top end of the Championship is just a way of ensuring minutes at a similar level I doubt he's quite good enough for those top 10 Premier League teams, or on Ramsey's level, so I don't like to compare the two |

I was hoping he could provide a viable alternative to Ramsey (especially with his injuries) if not like for like in terms of ability…is he better served playing regularly for a Millwall vs for a Leeds or West Ham? Hmm…whilst the gap in quality might not be too pronounced the chance to ply against champions league level teams every now and then makes me think it’s always better to be playing for a struggling prem side so long as they play regularly enough. He’s struggling at the moment to prove his worth at Fulham but I don’t think dropping down to the championship is ideal, that’s more what I would expect of James who can’t even get into Fulham’s squad it seems.

The question is do we need him to be? As a regular doing well in the Champ he'd defo start for us now - but when he's in and out it's not a guarantee There's an element of truth in that, but also an element of glossing over a harsher reality - that Wilson has been fit for around 4 months now, has started around 10 games in that period for Fulham and us, and has been poor to average in those games. He has just the one goal and 0 assists to his name, and he doesn't offer much else in reality. The two wide forwards that have played well for most of the season (34yo Willian and the Cardiff reject) have gone off the boil these last few weeks, and it's been Solomon who's forced his way into the team after producing important goals. Wilson hasn't been able to do that. He also had a season-long loan at Bournemouth around 3 years ago where he was dropped for the second half of the season for not producing enough. So combined, the evidence certainly suggests he isn't a premier-league level player. I agree that being a top championship player is more than good enough to be an important squad member for us, but there's no escaping that Wilson is generally ineffective again accomplished opposition. For example, with this game against Croatia, I'm almost certain Wilson won't be able to offer anything against that caliber of opposition. |

Some players are brilliant in Championship but just don’t cut it at Premiership level. Anyone old enough to remember Marco Gabbiadini? Poor man’s Mark Hughes. Great in the Championship. Couldn’t take the next step up.
He can still do a job for us

With Wilson it's a confidence thing, he did well enough in the Premier League playing for a poor Bournemouth side.
