Sket 13,610 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Big man's doing fine. Really growing on me. Got to disagree with Brian, I think he commands his area well. Can't see Bell getting a look in.Bell is finished here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Reynolds 3,359 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Wasn't sold on him initially, but looks like I was wrong Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemisis 358 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 He is only a boy and remember goalies don't really mature until in their thirties. this man could eventually play for England. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainAmerica18 846 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.You do realise that the SPFL is the full league system?

Dennistoun Rangers 426 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I think he is cracking. Takes crosses and fantastic shotstopper considering how little he has to do. He has his moments playing from the back but getting better and better. Top goalkeeper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GersInCanada 7,775 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 He is just another great signing. Young, still learning, and so prone to the occasional lapse.For sure i do not want Bell back in the team at his expense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jelavic191 4,802 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 We've been spoiled for world class keepers over the last 20 odd years. He's not quite that level but he's a good keeper and I feel much more confident with him in goal rather than Bell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFCRobertson 11,794 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Great keeper, he did make mistakes when he first started playing but I think that was just because the team was building together.I think the fact that the ball could be kept away from him for a while but still be active enough to make a good save says allot for Wes. Either way I prefer him to Cammy Bell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwhiteandblue 3,330 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.A half decent keeper would run out and diving heider it past the cantre circle.

Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Wasn't sold on him initially, but looks like I was wrongSame. Think it was the crowd size that put him off. Looks like he's getting used to it now and his confidence is high. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendofCoop 18,123 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I think it took him a while to settle. Looked very nervous in the first few games I saw him in. His kicking is fine if it's put to his left peg, but he's useless with his right. That's clear to see. In time he'll get better with his right, and hopefully he defenders will put it to his left where possible.He's made a couple of top drawer saves the last few games. I think he'll turn out to be a star for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcf 35,411 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Outside of looking shady with re pass backs , off the top of my head , I can't think of any mistakes he's made. Like others , the pass backs had me worried at the start , but he's come on leaps and bounds since then. Feel very confident with him between the sticks now.

left winger 15,609 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I think he's getting better with more games, but he did have one shot yesterday that he didn't hold on to - he parried it right into the middle of the box, rather than to the side. A more alert forward would certainly have punished us there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 He was the one player I was really excited about the most when we heard of all these new signings. He's a young talented guy and can see him only getting better. With a lot of these signings I don't expect them to be here during their peak, but the good thing is it hopefully means we'll get some good money for them if they don't stay.

jamess 3,533 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Its easy to forget about him - and that's a good thing. Gets on with his job of being a good solid keeper. When he comes for a ball he gets it. Good shot stopper and very agile in smothering any rebound. I'm very impressed with the young man. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 He was tipped by a few down south to be a future England 'keeper. Think we've got ourself a gem.yup totally agree Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blue 64 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Been known to scare shite out me on occassion but I appreciate that he's playing as directed and I'm absolutely convinced he'll grow into a great Rangers goalkeeper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 He was tipped by a few down south to be a future England 'keeper.

Prso's headband 36,807 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 A love the big guy so does the mrs for some reason . Hes really good on the ball now and commands his box with ease and his shot stopping is great. Very hard to find a all round keeper these days and he showed great reactions and agility to get onto the ball after his save yesterday. Makes me feel at ease when the oppostion have corners as well.

Gazzalivesforever 2,038 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.He's said numerous times in interviews that playing out from the back is something he's used to from his time at Swindon ?
