Phileas Fogg Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Good to see, formation is interesting. Presumably we had used this formation up until Cotts got the sack in training. Indicates Wade and Pemberton didn't necessarily believe in 532 to throw it out the window late on. No-one expecting much from today, good chance to try something new. Good luck to Wes and the rest of the boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just back Bob , so will now definately have a long cool one and look forward to the tv highlights for a change. thanks for all the fantastic messages from everyone and the private ones too, and of course the hillarious ones as well, Mrs B did have a chuckle i must admit. To be completely honest i think there is loads more to come from wes, he was blowing at 75, but thats what happens when your not playing i guess. Joe and Wes were under strict instructions to keep both full backs out of the game which i think to a large degree they did. personally i would have put agard on for wes for the last 10 , but the injury to baker and Del boy having to go off stopped that, so i guess fate played its part as well. The 4-3-3 was 4:5:1 at times and a variation on that in the second half as well, but i thought the whole team were immense today and to think we ended up with Waggy wes Joe and Bobby on the same pitch, who would have bet on that before the game. Really made up for scotty and his parents, after an awful 6 months. WBA game is a bonus, but I am hoping we can get something out of the Leeds game and bulld on today.

RedM Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 @djb6162I thought he had a great game, certainly looked to have matured as a footballer, less boy and more man if you know what I mean.

Youngish Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Thought Wes executed his role expertly today: stretch the pitch when the ball's in the middle, track back when they attack, and act as a second striker when we had it on the left. Excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 One thing is for sure I would suspect, given the frustrations of the past couple years, he is going to hold on to his starting place with both hands and I think he gives something else we have lacked up top for a long time, pace.

Finally, real guts from pembo and Wade today, and their courage paid dividends. Really pleased for you Mr B, Wes was superb today. You may recall from our personal exchange that I thought Wes was worthy as an impact player. That's based on when he was starting and then latterly subbing during SOD's reign. But he was worthy of the start today, and was up there in terms of his contribution, he's come on a lot in the past couple of years. Should Wes have been starting before today? Probably, on todays performance. But was the previous manager wrong in not recognizing that? I think that would be harsh, the manager was doing his best, as he saw it. I'm just picking up on another comment you made earlier this week. That aside, I'm proud, proud to have 3 local lads starting for my team, counting Wes as a "local" lad, which of course is stretching it! Onwards and upwards, for Wes and Bristol City.

Davefevs Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 If both Bobby and Wes keep playing a part for the rest of the season then hopefully we can trigger a year extension on their contracts. Whether they ultimately make it as this level I don't know. Wes at 21 the more likely. Bobby at almost 23 is probably at a crossroads. The final 20 games of this season will dictate. I said in the summer when many were writing them off that they may have really benefitted from their loans last season. On paper stats-wise, Wes's didn't look overly productive, but at least he played. Bobby's was far more influential at Plymouth. Playing in our first team will mean playing with better players, and for some players that raises their game too. A lot of people on here wanted to bomb them out over the summer. Just as well we didn't. It is rarer to breakthrough at 23, but I'd love to see Bobby make it (with us ideally). I saw him for the first time v Rovers in that JPT game and thought how good he was at receiving the ball and his touch moving it to where he wanted to go next....until O'Toole started lumping him. Wes has the added benefit of being a bit more versatile. I know we've generally got a youngish squad, but I sense these two youngsters can provide the team with a real boost.

Lanterne Rouge Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I`m just wondering when Wes knew he was starting.

Between heaven and hell Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I've been moaning on for weeks about the lack of opportunity for Wes especially in the later stages of the game when Wilbs generally wilts. To see him play 90 mins and put in a great shift was genuinely heart warming. That track back late on had us all up and cheering as he was obviously starting to tire.
