Hanky Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Midfield looked a lot better yesterday. Won the second balls, competed, and Sanchez was excellent holding midfield and protecting centre halves. That should be our midfield going forward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Veretout wasn't brilliant today, but even that was a vast improvement on Westwood. Was he out with concussion today?....unbelievable.Do you know what a concussion is? If a player shows any signs of a concussion, he can't play. If he was out because of it, it wouldn't have been his choice. Its the same across every sport. Don't make out he's some wimp because he missed a game because of a concussion. As somebody stated below though, it may have been his leg. Doesn't change my point though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stevo985 Posted November 10, 2015 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2015 Did you miss where he got elbowed in the face and could barely stand up as a result?I'd say it was pretty believable. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with him being a 'physical player'or not. The things people will do to have a pop at Westwood. Christ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted November 10, 2015 Moderator Share Posted November 10, 2015 I find this thread almost as depressing as looking at the league table or thinking how much we just paid Sherwood to go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StefanAVFC Posted November 10, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2015 Called a pussy after going off after suffering a concussion, even though he wanted to stay on. Slagged off even when he doesn't play. Slagged off because he missed a game because of said concussion (again that wouldn't be his call, it would be the call of the physios. VT's treatment of Westwood is stupid. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I like Ashley, but going forward I'd keep the midfield as it was against City. They played well, and I'd rather see them play some games together without tampering to let them settle in. Get some team cohesion going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the unit against City and it's only going to get better. Westwood should rotate in here and there and not be a nailed on starter. However, no excuse for some of the shit posted in this thread about the lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted November 10, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) I don't think anyone called him a pussy. I think that has been poorly worded and misunderstood.From the match thread: Man up ffs Westwood is either milking it or is a wimp He barely **** touched you Westwood, you **** pussy.Grow some balls and man up Westwood. Absolutely pathetic. Barely got touched. Edited November 10, 2015 by Stevo985 The **** awful quoting system on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 nope, but I think it's fairly obvious that this player gets a lot of abuse on vt whether warranted or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kind of vitriol is normally reserved for the opposition surely? What the hell is wrong with you guys?? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
