Big_Nige Posted 21 September 2015 Share Posted 21 September 2015 He dropped a bollock, other than that I thought he had a good game, and has had a very good start to the season. it was just one of those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al-aLondon-Foxile Posted 21 September 2015 Share Posted 21 September 2015 He had a bad day at the office. Huth should have headed the ball away, but he left if for Wes who, i think, was in two minds. If he'd have played it back to Kasper he'd have put him under a lot of pressure with a bouncing ball/volley to clear and a striker closing him down. He was also at fault for the incident where he was tussling with Walters (just before our equaliser), could easily have been a free kick, but he allowed the ball to get away from him when trying to shield it, rather than clear it. He's been solid enough, and we all make mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose2010 Posted 21 September 2015 Share Posted 21 September 2015 Was just a error that they capitalised on, no point dwelling on it, mistakes happen all over the park. Like others had said he has been solid all season and even if he had chased back he wouldn't of caught him or he would of took him out and got sent off. btw love how the OP starts with 'I'm not slating morgan but....' and then goes on to slate him!

Captain... Posted 21 September 2015 Share Posted 21 September 2015 He doesn't slate him, he highlights something that I also thought of as unprofessional behaviour, and it wasn't the fvcked up attempt to backpass, but his reaction to the mistake, which was to just crouch down hold his head in his hands and await the inevitable. Instead of sprinting back to put Walters under pressure and be closer to the action should there be a rebound or Kasper gets something on it. Yes he was odds on to score but we see them missed every week. It is something Nuge used to do that would piss me off, and dramatically react to a miss, especially when the ball is still in play, rather than get after the ball, or get into a position ready for a quick corner. Mistakes happen and there is no point having a go at Wes for screwing up a back pass, but when you fvck up if there is a chance to make amends you do it, there will be time for head holding should he score, but until that ball goes into the back of the net you don't stop, you don't give up, even if Kasper only has a 2% chance of saving it, if you're not there to sweep up the rebound then he might as well not bother.

Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 21 September 2015 Share Posted 21 September 2015 Can just chalk that down as the own goal he was long over due. No big deal, still captain fantastic, not like he's dropping a bollock week in, week out like our right back. *hides* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted 21 September 2015 Share Posted 21 September 2015 I just don't get why he tried to scissor kick it back to Kasper rather than just hook it clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Christ- watch it again! Walters is miles clear of him after he makes the mistake. He's never catching him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonaldinho Posted 21 September 2015 Share Posted 21 September 2015 Jesus Christ- watch it again! Walters is miles clear of him after he makes the mistake. He's never catching him. True but the ball is still in play, I'd expect him as a CB to be busting a gut to get back regardless of the chances that Walters will score. Hold your head after the goal's been scored.

Wymsey Posted 21 September 2015 Share Posted 21 September 2015 Think it'll be his last season. Need some decent young blood at CB next season, but Huth should stay out of the two as he's a better all-round defender. Wouldn't rule out Moore to get better again and in for a shout.

AKCJ Posted 21 September 2015 Share Posted 21 September 2015 For me, it's Huth's mistake. He should have belted it into orbit when it drops down, instead he left it for Morgan who had to react and try to prod a ball back to the keeper at an awful height. If Huth clears it then it isn't a problem. He created the problem and Morgan amplified it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJB-fox Posted 21 September 2015 Share Posted 21 September 2015 How people can blame Huth is beyond me, he did the right thing, it was Morgan's mistake. However, I've got a lot of time for big Wes and I'm not slating him at all, think he's been great so far. Yoshida made exactly the same mistake, and for his tussle with Walters that Stoke were getting arsey about was a good old scrap between two heavyweights, with Walters giving as good as he got. Good defender and so glad our originals (Morgan Schlupp Drinkwater King Vardy etc) are proving people wrong and keeping their place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxile Posted 21 September 2015 Share Posted 21 September 2015 I would hasten to add to the argument that Matt Elliot and Gerry Taggart are looked upon as one of the best central defensive partnerships that we've had for quite a time. The both of them, Walsh, Prior and Watts during their time too, were capable of mistakes. Wes Morgan is capable of mistakes. It was a howler on Saturday, that doesn't tarnish his past or future ability as a defender. He's been solid for a good 2 years, long may it continue. Franky Sinco, lest we forget, was an excellent defender..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katieakita Posted 22 September 2015 Share Posted 22 September 2015 Wes has a problem that he is a Nottingham lad and supports Forest many City fans cannot accept this or understand it. He was brought in as a solid pro for around 750k/1 million as cover for our £5 million pound super defender. By and large he has been very steady for us and despite the abuse hurled at him on the moan in is not a bad defender. The problem is sometimes defenders make mistakes and it costs a goal it is a high risk position, same goes for Kasper. We have played teams with some serious strike forces costing serious money and by and large have been competitive for over a season, as city fans we have to have a pop at someone we cant help ourselves, wish some on here would give some of our players a break and support the team. As for the mistake on Sat, Huth should not have let the ball bounce, basic defending but it happened and we got a point so we move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shade Posted 22 September 2015 Share Posted 22 September 2015 he's been an unbelievable signing for the price, similar to vardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandfox Posted 22 September 2015 Share Posted 22 September 2015 Yes he makes mistakes, like anyone else! But on a whole his is a major reason why we are, where we are! He will go down as LCFC great, sometimes wonder if people are quick to jump on him becasuse of his F***t connection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was unbelievably poor from the pair of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxinNotts Posted 22 September 2015 Share Posted 22 September 2015 Wes was great against Villa. But made a mistake against Stoke. He has proven that he is a perfectly adequate premiership centre back. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
