WILSON SET FOR 3 LIONS ON HIS CHEST
QUESTIONS have been asked about the mental fragility of Bournemouth this season, but Callum Wilson can probably be excused the inquisition. Hearing that England coach Gareth Southgate was turning up to watch him, Wilson decided that he needed to make an impact. One goal — off his chest — and one assist later, job done. ‘I know the manager will know what I’m capable of and he probably just came to see how I am after injury and thankfully it was a good one today,’ Wilson said. Wilson’s performance after a six-week lay-off was not a surprise to his manager Eddie Howe, who describes the forward as the ‘ultimate’ professional. Wilson scored on his England debut against the United States last year. He has 13 this season and believes he is playing the best football of his career. Bournemouth ended a run of nine consecutive away defeats, a mental hurdle cleared even if Huddersfield are easy targets. When asked for a reaction to the defeat, Huddersfield goalkeeper Jonas Lossl stayed silent for a few seconds. ‘Can that be my reaction? I’m just really, really tired of losing.’
