Again I disagree. His form has been quite poor this season but so has everyone else's. I think he'll be a useful player in the Championship although shouldn't be a starter when/if we come back up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) The way I look at it is if it was Bacuna for example who had just scored 2 - would I want us to keep him? No If it was Sanchez who had just scored 2 - would I want us to keep him? No Same applies to Westwood. He's been poor all season and it is too little too late. When it mattered he was nowhere to be seen (like most of the rest of them) Edited April 23, 2016 by Brumstopdogs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I'm sure I heard whilst watching it, that was his 1st goal in 69games....absolutely an appalling record for a midfielder Correct. Appalling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Took both of his goals well today. I know he hadn't scored in a long time, but he has had quite a few good shots saved by the keeper during that time, it's not like he has always blasted them high and wide in Gana style.

commander Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Still rubbish, still won't be good enough for the championship and if he plays defensive midfielder next season we'll most likely be in a relegation scrap. I don't like him as a footballer, he's too timid and cowardly for me; never takes responsibility and most of all he's just not very good. I really disagree with the 'he's a model professional' just because he doesn't rub it in our faces like the other plums; he hasn't improved in 4 years, hasn't tried to learn a defensive side of his game. Watch him play he's always pointing at someone else to pick up the players all whilst he's on no one and not following any runners. He's one of the senior players now and I don't think he's a decent role model, he's been a huge part of the decline of our club. But fair play to him today, took the goals well by all accounts.

a m ole Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 the obsession with his 'pointing' is really funny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's relevant because naturally players bring each other down. Everyone's been poor this season but I don't believe every player is poor as individuals (most are though). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffy Biro Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 He is shit though, like really shit. The amount of times ive watched one of his corners or freekicks in disbelief is well into the hundreds. Absolutely rage inducing at times. Get the **** ball into the air and into the box Ashley its not that **** hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) One of the few times I've noticed him all season. To be charitable, at least he cares, you could tell by his reaction at the final whistle last week and today he played OK, tried and looked gutted when he scored. In terms of my personal list of Villa players I hate, he's near the bottom. Edited April 23, 2016 by Dr_Pangloss 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMcKenna Posted April 23, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 23, 2016 When we signed Westwood it summed up everything that was wrong about the direction Lerner was taking AVFC. I don't blame Westwood, he was just never good enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJ100 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Nothing personal on Westwood, think he genuinely cares and probably lives somewhat a professional lifestyle. He's just never been good enough for us. His level currently is probably as a starter in a top league 1 team or a squad player in Upper mid table championship team. He's been a regular for years now for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heid3ster Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 For a while he was showing improvement defensively. His performance in the semi-final vs. Liverpool last season was outstanding, he made several game-saving blocks. No one could accuse him of hiding that day. But I agree those performances have been too few and far between in the main, and this season's been a step backwards for him. I still like him and think he'll be a good option in the Championship. I'd like to see him focus on improving his attacking play, I just don't think he's big or strong enough to do the work we need defensively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
