It's poisonous vaguely threatening character assassinations from here on in I'm afraid. Edit: my apologies but I forgot to end my post with an insult. After much consideration I've opted to go with nobjockey. Thank you for your time.

Babylon Posted 3 December 2018 Posted 3 December 2018 Shout out to big Wesley... once again, people desperate to write him off, desperate to pin all our woes on him at the back. Three clean sheets and just one set piece goal against in the last 4 league games since he's been partnered with Evans. Against the best teams he might struggle, as might all our defenders. But he can still perform against a vast number of teams in this league. Yes his time as a starter may be coming to an end, but I hope anyone slating him and saying he's useless can hold their hand up and say that he's still worth a spot in this squad. If he gets another year here after this, he'll be a fine player to have about if needed.
lgfualol Posted 3 December 2018 Posted 3 December 2018 I have written him off a ton but he is a different player when playing with the likes of Evans and Huth. He seems to be all over the place when paired with someone much younger like Maguire. Edit. That said, him and Evans give Andre Gray a few chances.

I thought he made a couple of vital blocks again on Saturday and put his body on the line as he always does. He defies his ageing years really and you can tell he still thrives on the physical battle. He continues to prove his doubters wrong (including me sometimes) and fair play to him for that.

To be fair, we ask a lot of Maguire on the ball and he takes a lot of responsibility with it, so it's understandable. But it does seemingly disrupt others.

Wes may be our captain but he's no organiser. Numerous times at this level he's looked lost. Huth comes in organises on the field and we get the great escape. Then we win the title with the same pairing. Mags comes in we end up with a lost Morgan again at times with no organisation. Bring in Evans and the old Wes is back. Yes Wes can lead by example as far as he would jump in front of a moving train for us. But he has little clue of how to organise. The main reason I don't like him being captain.
mozartfox Posted 3 December 2018 Posted 3 December 2018 Wes has been brilliant for us but next season we need to go with pace and mobility. Hopefully Puel has the round things to go this route. Sentiment has turfed out Huth, Wazzer, King and Simmo and must be applied with Wes next May. LCFC needs to move on.

If Wes continues in this form, I see no reason he can't have another year, but just move down the pecking order.

Not sure he even makes the match day squad next season. Benkovic - Maguire and then toss up between Soyuncu and Evans for me on the bench.

Based on current form of back 4 and Soy-Benko prospects wouldn't this be good business?

Farrington fox Posted 3 December 2018 Posted 3 December 2018 Wes must be phased out come the end of this season, surely.

Jimmy Posted 3 December 2018 Posted 3 December 2018 2 minutes ago, Babylon said: End of the season isn't it? yes he is one of the players who are out of contract as well as Wes. I am personally expecting Wes to leave this summer, I think we will offer him a 1 year deal but either Forest or a newly promoted side will make an offer more appealing to him

Will still do a job when required and If Benkovic comes in and is anywhere near as good as he sounds having Wes around him at the club would make a lot of sense. In general the way Puel is big on bringing through young players having Morgan around can only be a good thing.
