FC United boss Karl Marginson has hailed Kyle Wilson’s prolific contribution. The UniBond Premier League’s top scorer took his tally to 13 for the season with a double in Saturday’s 5-3 victory against Witton Albion. Rebels fans feared the worst when strike duo Rory Patterson and Stuart Rudd joined Bradford Park Avenue in the summer. But former Crewe striker Wilson has more than filled the void. “Some people said we’d struggle to score goals after losing the two lads from last year but I didn’t think that was going to be the case and Kyle has proved it,” said Marginson. “We can’t ask for anything more. “It’s not just the goals though, his all-round game has been really good. He’s a very, very good player and an intelligent footballer.” Wilson led the rout against one of his former clubs at Gigg Lane. He opened the scoring after 14 seconds – and added a second on four minutes. Chris Baguley helped himself to a couple as United coasted into a four-goal lead before Lee Thompson pulled one back for Albion just before half-time. Jerome Wright restored the four-goal lead but Albion scored twice more through Thompson and Rod Thornley. FC, who have no game on Saturday, are next in action at home to Kendal Town next Wednesday.
