It looks like we know who Bournemouth's top scorer is going to be in 2018/19 now. Josh King will have to hope for a few opportunities in the last couple of games to catch Callum now. Wilson has wanted to be the man man and he is becoming synonymous with scoring braces and the occasional hat-trick for Bournemouth even if he missed out on the third goal against Southampton.
Pleasingly, Callum said after the match that he will think about the goal for a few moments after he had missed the chance and might be pondering it in the dressing room, but by the time he'd left the ground his mind would be on other things. It may be that nine times out of 10 he would still that last minute winner away, but it wasn't to be. He felt that the ball got stuck under his feet and that he didn't make quite the need he required with his early touch to get the shot away from the keeper. I think, this time he had too much time to think what he was doing and when you lose that initial run of adrenaline the body slows and hesitates in trying to make the right choice, and that can often prove to be the downfall.
Callum will probably stick away loads of similar breakaways in training this week and will then find it hard to get one given to him against Spurs. It can happen like that. But as long as his head is in the right place and he has moved on to the next game, he'll be okay. Much better for him to think about the two goals he did get and the ease with which they came to him.
When a striker believes the ball will break for him just in front of the goal, and that he'll be there to stick it away, it builds confidence in that moment when he needs to get it right. The more times Callum puts himself in there, the better he'll get and the more his confidence will rise. Once you have a reputation for scoring like Harry Kane or Aguero, I believe it also helps put the keeper off as they know that you are unlikely to miss. It's that reputation that Wilson has to keep building.
