Jaspa Posted 12 July 2015 Posted 12 July 2015 Wes was our worst performer for much of last season but wasn't dropped because he was the captain. No he wasnt, the stat tables had him down for most blocks and one of the hardest players to get past in the Premier League. There has to be more to him than simply being Nigels favorite and has been integeral in our successes over the last two seasons. Some people seriously underappreciate Wes on here, our Club captian

Jaspa Posted 12 July 2015 Posted 12 July 2015 He was on the floor most of the time. That winning streak at the end of the season has seriously got to people's heads. Players were running rings around him mate I understand players who throw themselves around more are usually out of position in the first place and are making up space as fast as possible to get something if anything on the ball out of desperation. That is the only question over Wes for me and he tends to cope with it well most of the time with his organisation, strength and the respect he commands from his own and other players, his positioning is normally solid enough too negating his biggest issue often. The winning streak did prove he needed a solid partner next to him and the one we got in has hundreds of Premier League appearances in his system and Wes flourished along side him. Hes not perfect but he is very good at alot of important things for us and we should appreciate him for it, the club probably does in trusting his with the armband but some fans obviously dont
The Horse's Mouth Posted 12 July 2015 Posted 12 July 2015 Very true, and I still want Nigel back, but Wes is not a premier league captain. Never heard this term before
Sharpe's Fox Posted 12 July 2015 Posted 12 July 2015 "I think he's a nice bloke but the guy who sits in front of me is not a Premier League fan."
Mark_w Posted 12 July 2015 Posted 12 July 2015 I like purple but it's not a Premier League goalkeeper kit colour.
Wymsey Posted 12 July 2015 Posted 12 July 2015 Where is he? Has he officially left, or just not resigned, or what? Does anyone know? His contract with us finished last month, so he's a 'Free Agent' now.
dylanlegend Posted 12 July 2015 Posted 12 July 2015 Captain should be Huth without question he is a true leader
digitalalba Posted 12 July 2015 Author Posted 12 July 2015 It is an irony that Wes's biggest fan (Nigel) thought that the defence, with Wes as leader, needed strengthening, and quite a bit. Had someone of Huth's quality not been brought in, would the defence been strong enough? Huth without Wes, or Wes without Huth?
Foxhateram Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 Wes has captained us to the Premier league and has then captained us to a solid premier league finish. Just like Nige after that achievement he deserves to keep his job... Oh wait Edit: caught with my pants down over a typo again. Bloody sharp eyed lot!
EnglishOxide Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 The way some fans want to toss our players who have delivered success aside really winds me up. Wes struggled first half of the season, just like everybody else, but nobody cares that he had a rookie CB in Moore to help out as well as transitioning to the quality of the PL himself. He was also impressive in those circumstances against some of the bigger teams early on. Wes played as much a part as Huth and Was in the second half of the season.
kingfox Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 West has captained us to the Premier league and has then captained us to a solid premier league finish. Just like Nige after that achievement he deserves to keep his job... Oh wait Didn't know Taribo West played for us.
Frank to be Posted 13 July 2015 Posted 13 July 2015 We were an embarrassing shambles at the back before Huth came in and would be again if he gets injured. We need at least one more quality centre back and if everyone's fit that means Wes loses his place. We don't want a captain who's not getting in the team. No time for nostalgia.
