Herman22 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Nice to see Big Wes back in action. We played a very strong team here with Steer, Hause, Engels and Wesley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a bit of the same problem as the first team, though, with nobody offering him a good pass or layoff making him go backwards with it too often. We are desperate for a strong player too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Not expecting anything from him this season but will be nice to see the big guy back in and around the first team match day squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I give it 2 games before somebody suggests playing him defensive midfield 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) I think he should play in defensive midfield he's big strong and can pass the ball............ Edited April 17, 2021 by Sulberto21 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I watched only a little of the PL 2 match against Dirty leeds butte commentary was awful. Their reading of the game was other poor and biased. More importantly how long did Wesley play for? I'd have thought if he can get a few more 90 minutes under his belt with no adverse reactions then we might see him on the bench for the last game perhaps? The Villa team will no doubt have a target in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played around an hour I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixty minutes is good, get a couple more of them under his belt over the next couple of weeks and then see if he can get a ninety minutes done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) Looking monstrous. Sod it, throw him, Keinan and Ollie up top and batter some defenses. Have Wes and Keinan knock people around and allow Ollie to roam free up there without hassle. Narrow 4 - 3 - 3 until Jack is back. ( Yes I know it's probably unrealistic and won't happen ) Edited April 17, 2021 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a long way to go of course but the first moment he comes back to the first team it will be a success itself.

We need to sign better a much much better striker than Wes, even if he some how recovers. And I really don't think he will. He's done. He might try to come back, but he'll get a new injury quickly.

sharkyvilla Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 He was always naturally big and strong but I thought was quite easily bullied by centre halves, hopefully the medical team have been able to almost break his physique down and rebuild it in a way that optimises his attributes and can make him more explosive over the first few yards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 How mobile was he? I saw a few minutes of the clips so not really able to conclude but from what I saw he didn't really bust a gut to get into the box, looked very laborious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Strangely after the Wolves he was getting a lot of negative feedback, but I thought he looked better in that game than he did last night, perhaps last night he was told not to over do it and risk coming off through injury again. Most important thing was him getting some more minutes and coming through it without injuring himself. U23 football is so hard to judge, that we aren't going to have much of a clue how good he's likely to be until we him back in the first team.
