the_eristic Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Wes makes different runs to Ollie and drops deep to link play like a false 9, excited to have him back as option to change things up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie will continue to be our main man and I would back him to become one of the leading scorers in the league, especially with the service he is going to get next season. Wesley to cover and help out & grab a goal here and there would be great, no pressure on him either such as in his first season… If we go on a cup run could really see Ollie playing only 30 ish games. If that is the case Wesley could probably hit 6 or 7 goals when factoring sub appearances as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds more realistic… I thinks something that has been overlooked is that Wes doesn’t necessarily have to be in top form or top condition immediately, he’ll still have time to progress during the season as Ollie is our main man and is so fit and reliable. Certain people want another CF, such as Tammy, it may not be a necessity as if Wes can make some kind of impact and improve as the season goes on…it’s not such a concern. People bring up the line “what if Ollie breaks his leg” etc. but that’s so rare and you can’t prepare for every, and especially, unlikely or worst case scenarios. Personally, I would be happy with an attacking player that can cover a few positions including CF if required… such as Alvarez. Looking forward to seeing Wes in action anyway, really want it to work out for him here especially after what he’s been through… 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarnikjak Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) We need West fit again and playing some matches, even if he is not part of our long-term plans anymore. Otherwise we won't be able to shift him and recoup any of the £22 mil he cost. Hopefully he recovers fully and proves useful squad player for the future ( although my gut feeling is that he will be sold after regaining his fitness this season) Edited July 16, 2021 by Czarnikjak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did so well to manage to make the squad during the backend of last season and I believe Dean has faith in him. Wes is clearly a strong and determined characters. He appears to be in better shape in those training pics too, think & hope he will go from strength to strength. What you’ve indicated may well be the case for Trez though… I’d have no problem with that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Remember, Dean said Wes plays deeper than Watkins and comes to midfield to get the ball more so can play in the 10/SS role. I think we'll see times we move from 4 2 3 1 to a 4 4 1 1 taking of a defensive minded midfielder (say Nakamba/Luiz) with Wes coming on when we need to change the game from bench. I'd like to see use of Ash, Bert and Wes all coming on for say Luiz, Targett/Cash and Buendia fresh legs and an attacking approach. Wins are so important in the League when chasing top positions, 3 draws for example, if we go for win in each converting 1 into a win and losing the other two is the same points haul. You just need to turn that into one win, one loss and one draw and you're positive points. We lacked impact off the bench last season. Wes hopefully will be like a new signing in giving us some of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted July 16, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) I hope he gets plenty of minutes preseason and gets himself in the groove and confident. He has my full backing while he’s here. Come on Wes! Edited July 16, 2021 by villan-scott 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 His condition for preseason is brilliant. Clearly he has been working hard. Glad we haven't had to rush him back. Playing some minutes at the end of the season. Preseason will massively help him get back up to speed. Offers something different if we are trailing. He scored some solid goals in his first 6 months for us. Likes to attack the front post. Atleast we aren't relying on Davies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All jokes aside, everyone is hoping it works out well for Wes. Personally I have my doubts because this league is so unforgiving but will be a huge bonus if we see a £20m player come back into the squad.

HalfTimePost Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Come on Big Wes. I really want him to make it here and think there were glimpses that he could prior to injury in what was an awful team. Hopefully he can kick on with a stronger unit and more creativity behind him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TH Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I also think the pressure will be off him now - got to remember, he came in as the record transfer for a newly promoted side in a new league for him, which would be a huge weight on anyone’s shoulders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burchy Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 When Jota was here they had a good understanding with some nice through balls I remember. Buendia is Jota on steroids so I think all of our forwards will be licking their lips at the thought of playing this season. I want him to do well, having done my knee ligaments in myself coming back from what happened to him takes some doing, so wish him every success. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
