simon 1,727 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Wasn't that sure of him at the start of the season but I really like him now. Maybe just took him a little bit of time to get used to how we are playing, but he makes it look effortless now. Good shot stopper as well, I'm sure he will get better and better as the season goes on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.A.I 36,183 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 He's a good solid goalkeeper. Said it when he signed from Swindon at the time, too. Seen him a lot on that Football League Show that's on after Match Of The Day and he impressed me a lot.Hated hearing people getting on his case away at Hibs. I could see why with his kicking, but he's a young goalkeeper in his first game having to do a different style in regards to always passing the ball out of defence.Glad he's starting to win people over now. He's a talent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Will get us a few bob in a couple of years time!Love the big guy, he's cool as fuck, made a fuck up against Hibs at Ibrox and he made a point of apologising to almost every teammate after it, the ball came back to him a few minutes later and instead of hoofing it he took a couple of extra touches again even though there was a Hibs player bearing down on him, pinged a cracker of a pass actually.That shows balls.He commands his area and his shot stopping looks great as well.

pcbear 10,913 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Artur Boruc tried a Wes yesterday and fucked it up gifting Watford a goal, just on MOTD there, Charlie Adam tried another outrageous own half shot and nearly done it again.Back to big Wes I think he is a good goalie who will only get better.

Clemdog 39,389 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 A very good all round keeper. I love his confidence when he's going for a ball in the air, theres never any hesitation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Sorry but i'll disagree, he's a bombscare at a short pass and doesn't command his box. He's a good shot stopper but set pieces tear us apart and while you can blame the defenders, ultimately he should be commanding them. He's learning his craft at our expense - fine in the championship but not in the SPFL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good shot stopper but set pieces tear us apart and while you can blame the defenders, ultimately he should be commanding them.He's learning his craft at our expense - fine in the championship but not in the SPFL.Yeah I'll disagree too, with you.He is a good wee keeper and does his job, also off his line in a flash when required so more comfortable with him in goal than calamity. Sure he will make mistakes it is just more serious when a goalie does than every other player on the park.If the Gaffer believes in him then he gets my support doing what he is doing.

Skyson1872 2,923 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 We have conceded two goals from set pieces and they have both been 18 yard wonder volleys, how is wes supposed to do anything about that? Its the players responsibility to mark them, he cant run out 18 yards to catch it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Govanblue told me/us Wes had promised a clean sheet yesterday!Wes oot!Nothing he could do about the goal and his kicking improving all the time - good keeper! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperPapac05 3,383 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Cracking keeper. Always feel confident when a shot gets fired in or when he has to climb above everyone to catch the ball. Just his footwork that needs a lot of work. But overall, glad to have him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of the number of times he gets a touch of the ball and the number if times out of them he has made a mistake. I'm completely confident every time he has the ball at his feet now.
