Town manager Jim Magilton has praised the attitude of Town defender Fabian Wilnis.

The 36-year-old has been left out of the starting line up for Town’s last 5 games but Jim has still heaped praise on the Dutchman who is just two games short of 300 for Town.

 

Jim: “I would have to say that Fabian is probably one of the best signings this club has ever made.

 

“I have the utmost respect for him. He is a top-class professional and I fully understand that he wants to play games rather than sit in the stand.

 

“But as much as he has looked after himself there comes a time for any player when he needs to accept he is not going to be a regular choice any more.”

 

Jim went on to add: “I want these lads to look and learn from Fabian and he can help their development.

 

“He feels he needs to be playing and that he should be playing, but all I'm saying is that it won't be at the rate he imagines.

 

“Fabian is another player coming to terms with the fact that I am now the manager and I was very single-minded about what my next step was going to be.

 

“I've nothing but praise for his attitude, while his all-round performance around the club is great.”
