Hanky Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 He actually played quite well. Gabby was not the problem today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 21, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 21, 2017 Credit where it's due. He was very good in the first half. Tired badly in the second though. The lack of options off the bench was obvious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang on, isn't the point of a goalscorer to score goals? A midfield player is supposed to tackle and also be part of the attacking process. Westwood doesn't do this and should be dropped. Gabby should be scoring goals, as our only striker, he doesn't but that is fine as he 'did well'? **** insane how things are so different when it comes to who is allowed to be criticised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 21, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 21, 2017 To be fair he pretty much did score our first goal. From where I was sat it looked like Adomah Nugent'd it over the line from Gabby's effort. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 worked harder than some of the players out there today and from where I was sitting it looked like he missed a decent chance from a header. Credit to him today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adomah tapped it in from 1 yard and took it off him. He is meant to score and he clearly doesn't score enough but he played well. No idea why you've brought Westwood into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there is a massive difference in what is seen as good and what is seen as bad. You don't like Westwood because he doesn't do what a midfielder should, and trying hard is not good enough - apparently, yet Gabby is praised for trying hard and not doing what a striker should. I really don't understand how the same rule isn't applied for both. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I think my point is more about how other players get criticised for things Gabby gets praised for. I'm not talking about you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 If its true and he did have a good game well fair play to him but long term him starting is not helping our team, we need a striker to bang in goals and he doesnt look like he is that player at the moment he good be a decent impact sub from bench and good for squad, just not the player we should be relying on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do others when they play well. I think you're getting yourself all worked up over nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately McCormack being a dick meant we had no choice today, and fair play for trying hard (Gabby). I'm not sure we can throw Davis in either, but we really needed to try and bring in something to cover this period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Must be chuffed now he's no longer officially the unfittest player at the club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 In terms of his fitness, he looked rapid today and ran about all game. Just watched the highlights, adomah really has stolen his goal and if green could head he'd have had an assist as well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
