Wilson is making his mark

Bournemouth fans can only be delighted with the form of Callum Wilson. He led the line with great presence against Fulham and was always a problem for Fulham's defenders. He has the ability to score more than one goal in a game, and he is starting to enjoy making goals for others as well. He has become a complete striker and he is starting to get the recognition he deserves now.

Wilson is redefining what supporters believe he is capable of.

I was not nervous for Callum when he picked the ball up to take the penalty against Rico on Saturday. He had missed one earlier on the season against Cardiff ,but he was fully concentrated for this kick and stroked it neatly down the middle which gave Fulham's keeper no chance. I think that certainly helped Callum's game on the day as it meant he had buried the earlier miss from the spot in his mind and he could just go out and try and build on the goal.

His performance was excellent in his build up play and his vision at times to spot passes. Whether he prefers playing up front in a three as he did, with Fraser and Brooks hanging slightly wide of him on each side, it is now a formation that will excite Eddie Howe. I still felt Josh King was missed for his hold up play and strong running, but at least Bournemouth found away to eventually create chances against Fulham and with Callum and David Brooks they took those chances when they came.

The third goal for Bournemouth against Fulham really showed the dominance that Bournemouth had in the end. It had been a tough game, but Wilson was single-minded enough to make sure he punished Fulham when he was clean through. There was no hesitation and he knew where he wanted to shoot. Goalscoring is easy when you are confident, and Wilson is a striker that is seeing a very big goal in front of him at the moment.
