Wilson has been the missing link

Bournemouth look so much more effective when they have Callum Wilson in the team. They might have beaten Chelsea at home without him, but when Wilson is in the side there is always a feeling that he can score a goal.
Wilson continues to add goals to the team.
Whether other team members find it hard to believe that they can win games without Wilson is something that perhaps Eddie Howe needs to work on with them. There is no doubt that Wilson believes he is a match winner, and can score every time he goes out onto the pitch. He now has his 50th goal for AFCB having netted against Huddersfield at the weekend.

Even this season it has been hard to get an injury-free Wilson for the big games. He does get knee problems, which is perhaps to be expected after is two cruciate ligament breaks, but with the material around one of his knees now cleaned up it will be interesting to see if he can go these last eight games without any further troubles. He says he has been working hard with the physio team to ensure he can play 90 minutes, and he clearly wants to give his best whenever he puts on an AFCB shirt.

Wilson has become a talisman for the team for sure. He seems to revel in the extra attention and pressure and when things are going well for him it looks a very simple game to play. He does need good service though, and it is Ryan Fraser that I believe he has a lot to thank for his nickname of Bournemouth's goal machine.
