[QUOTE="Bill, post: 933340, member: 79436"] I think you're exaggerating the difference. Of course Wilson isn't the destructive ball carrier that Billy is, but if Wilson replaced Billy during a game, would we suddenly change tactics entirely, or would the shape and performance of the team be visibly completely different ? I'd argue not. Wilson was brilliant at 8 in November, and with him so were England. I'd rather have Wilson playing great at 8 than someone not playing very well but looking a bit physically similar to Billy. We've still got plenty of players who can make big carries. For me, the less players who are in that squad as stand-ins, and the more who are in on merit, the better. [/QUOTE]
