Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 7 July 2020 Share Posted 7 July 2020 Why have we given Wes another year if he isn't up to it? Surely he starts over Bennett without a second thought? Either Wes is still up to it to some extent, in which case start the captain who won you the title over the workmanlike, limited lad we've got on loan, or he isn't up to it, in which case why on earth have we given him another year? Makes no sense to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mehrez Posted 7 July 2020 Share Posted 7 July 2020 Thought he was decent against palace but maybe that was more a reflection of the opposition, he’s very slow and a bit of a liability 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stuntman_Mike Posted 7 July 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 7 July 2020 That's his first start for us away to Arsenal in a new system for the whole defence. Not sure he deserves any real criticism just yet. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVIE B Posted 7 July 2020 Share Posted 7 July 2020 So, he gets praised to the max after Palace, and within 4 days he’s a Sunday league player. Perspective is called for. No doubt after another decent game he’s a bargain, gerrrimmin again ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgfualol Posted 7 July 2020 Share Posted 7 July 2020 Need better if we get Europe and need depth. As mentioned in the match thread he'd be fine back in the hoofing and shithouse days where Morgan and Huth just toe poked the ball forward anywhere no matter what. Looked a bit out of place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 7 July 2020 Share Posted 7 July 2020 Wouldn't want to see him starting games with any sort of regularity. OK as a cheap backup but I'd sooner we went after someone actually good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox in the North Posted 7 July 2020 Share Posted 7 July 2020 He’s filling a gap in defence, and could be a lot worse, but he does have the turning circle of an aircraft carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paninistickers Posted 7 July 2020 Share Posted 7 July 2020 Would arsenal or spurs sign him from wolves? Would wolves sign him from wolves? I suspect it's a no. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridFox Posted 7 July 2020 Share Posted 7 July 2020 bizarre one. looked okay coming one at the weekend but maybe that's what his role is to sure things up. Didn't look comfortable tonight at all and given the run of fixtures, I'm not sure I'd want to see him start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wokinghamfox Posted 7 July 2020 Share Posted 7 July 2020 Not getting why he is playing over Wes. Dont rate him at all. Little to his game other tham getting in the way occasionally. Surely he will go at the end of this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackneyfox Posted 8 July 2020 Share Posted 8 July 2020 He did what was needed, broke up play without getting booked or giving away any dangerous free kicks. We moan when teams do it to us. I hope we sign a lot better but he's all we have at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolo Barella Posted 8 July 2020 Share Posted 8 July 2020 We saw tonight why Nuno has tried very hard to replace him, with the likes of Saiss and that Real Madrid centre back they had on loan. He is defensively ok, a good physical presence, but can switch off and his passing is abysmal - Schmeichel never passed the ball out to him, because he knew Bennet would not be able to comfortably receive and pass it, unlike Soyuncu and Evans. Whilst we should obviously give him more time, having seen him play a couple of times for Wolves I'd say the two games we've seen him in are pretty indicative of his overall level. Good defensive presence, but easily duped, slow, and cannot pass. The reason he's had a decent career up to this point is because 3 at the back formations slightly mitigate his weaknesses. Would be fine with signing him for next season if we switched to 3 at the back semi-permanently, and signed another two centre backs on top of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point signing a limited player like Bennett as 5th choice for £5m. It's a no for me. We should be developing one of our own as 5th choice and looking to buy another back up CB with a bit more quality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That_Dude Posted 8 July 2020 Share Posted 8 July 2020 A bit harsh to single him out in an away game where the whole defense was at sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee7 Posted 8 July 2020 Share Posted 8 July 2020 I think in a back four as one of two centre backs he would get ran ragged by any striker with pace. In all fairness to him he has had two games and maybe lacks match fitness but from what i have seen he looks like he has no turn of speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
