Popular Post bannedfromHandV Posted April 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2020 I think there’s a good chance a lot of people will be eating humble pie on their opinions on Wes. There were flashes of how good he could be, all depends on how he comes back from the injury but some of the comments on here you’d expect to see reserved for opposition players. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might develop into a class player, but up until the injury he looked like a competition winner for the most part. He showed flashes of competence and it's not his fault we payed such a silly transfer fee and I'll be delighted if he turns out worth the money.

Happy for his recovery but my God do i hope Samatta is here long term and Wes in nowhere near a starting eleven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just hope to see that level from him more consistently, it is up to Smith to get it out of him, I think both are capable of it, it could be the difference between us staying up and going down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he showed more than just flashes of competence, in the Everton/Burnley/Norwich games he was unplayable almost, getting that out of him consistently is the key. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he comes good at some point the summer wasn't the right time for a £20m promising youngster as our only striker.

We expect miracles from our players sadly, Wesley has done well whenever he’s played for us in my opinion. He has become a bit of a scapegoat on here and at the matches sadly but I think he’s done well for us. He holds it up well and brings others in to the game well, not only that, he’s a good finisher too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not? I think he has done well but for some reason, the other fans around me get on his back. Maybe, if we all got behind him, he might be even better than he already is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with us against 2 very good Premier League centre backs in Ben Mee and James Tarkowski. Wesley made them look silly at times in that match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 For me the issue was that he was too isolated, the games where we got players close to him, and playing off him, he looked good. We probably wouldnt play with sama and wesley, as deano seems to like one striker, but however we do it we need to get players closer to the forward players, too many times players aren't within 20m of the ball and we leave players isolated. I do wonder if a front 3 of grealish, sama and wesley might work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) I have a feeling if we let him go, we would regret it like Traore.....I think it could be another case like that. He has much to get right, but its doable. but I think there is something in there....I think he would benefit from not being in a struggling team. He would be better in slicker approach play, like Dion Dublin did. I wouldn't be too quick to get rid.....but he has to stop the whinging and approach the game like Shearer or Andy Gray.....you give me the physical stuff and I'll give you harder.....He has to get the opposition to fear him. He is not a Vardy ( will o' the Wisp) he is a big ole' unit like Andy Carroll, he needs to use that prudently. If he did nothing more than just hog the back post, he would get his quota.....not saying I just want him to do that, but saying that would be minimum of a nuisance value.
