Title: Weston Post by: Power to people on Sunday, March 11, 2007, 18:11:55 I can't help wondering if Curtis Weston's stfc career is over, after Sturrock criticising him in the week, what a perfect opportunity for him to go out and prove something to the manager by coming on on as a sub, but no Sturrock would rather move Peacock back in to a wide right position than bring on Weston by the seems.
Sad as it looked like he had a talent - I firmly expect if Leeds are relegated for Wise to take him to Leeds for next season though on a free. Title: Weston Post by: Crozzer on Sunday, March 11, 2007, 18:22:14 From comments made, I think the problem was following instructions. Luggy put out the most established side he could on Saturday. I have to assume that the regulars had responded in training.
I saw Timlin and Pook the best options to protect the makeshift back four. Without injury, and with a clean sheet, there wouldn't seem much point in changing those two players. Presumably, everyone on Saturday followed instructions. If we didn't let a goal in Stanley could be depended on to let one in, based on recent form. After 24 hours, this was a comfortable win, but before the game there wasn't much comfort about it. Title: Weston Post by: millom red on Sunday, March 11, 2007, 19:10:15 I personally think there may be a bit of the Royce Brownlie thing about Weston..ie plays a certain ammount of games for us therefore triggering a contract extension/wage hike. Leeds it is then. :(
The lad has got a bit about him, and he will no doubt play at a higher level in the not too distant future. I just hope it is with us, but i have a feeling it wont be. Title: Weston Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Sunday, March 11, 2007, 19:13:15 i thought he had already triggered a 2nd year from his clause in his contract or was that all just rubbish?
Title: Weston Post by: DiV on Sunday, March 11, 2007, 19:28:16 as I said, going on what sturrock says I wouldnt be surprised if Sturrock tries to turn him into a right winger....
...but anyway Sturrock doesnt always keep his word now does he.

Dunno.....has he? :shrug: Title: Weston Post by: Trini on Sunday, March 11, 2007, 19:40:10 IMO Weston is a better option wide on the right than Shakes, whose only asset is speed but can't pass/cross.
Title: Weston Post by: Spencer_White on Sunday, March 11, 2007, 20:02:51 If we let him go he will go on to be a quality player somewhere else. You can guarantee it. But then if the attitude isnt there then we might have to let him go.
Just like Brian Howard. Title: Weston Post by: fatbury on Monday, March 12, 2007, 08:49:15 Found it strange that Sturrock persisted with Roberts, Shakes and Brown over Lukas, Weston and Zaaboub .. but you cant argue with the result - but to be fair Accy were awful

Title: Weston Post by: dogs on Monday, March 12, 2007, 11:48:43 Too much GM foods for Pook. His foots turned into a banana.
Title: Weston Post by: fatbury on Monday, March 12, 2007, 11:50:12 yes but Pook was dropped at Barnet and Stockport .. both games we lost - the games we won v Chester and Accy he played - tells a story!

And our best performance of the season at Walsall saw Pook no where near it, he just come on as a last minute time wasting sub....twist the facts however you want Title: Weston Post by: mattboyslim on Monday, March 12, 2007, 13:41:15 Indeed Glos, you can prove anythign with Statistics, like the NotW having Roberts as our man of the match on Satuday, I can wholly assume they didn't see the game, peacock was twice the player roberts was.

I think he might have rich. Title: Weston Post by: Reeves for King on Tuesday, March 13, 2007, 14:18:04 What is it with all you Pook haters? I know he's not Swindon's greatest player, far from it, but at least he gives 100% effort for a full 90 minutes, is able to find a tackle and occasionally plays a decent pass. This is unlike of course 'crowd favourites' Zaaboub and Roberts who spend most of their time running round and giving the ball away and then when they do get a chance they smash it miles over the stand.
Title: Weston Post by: glos_robin on Tuesday, March 13, 2007, 16:00:47 Sooooo sorry, of course the most dominant display our midfield gave this season at Walsall couldn't possibly of happened without Pook in it. Zaaboub was just a passenger at Walsall and just gave the ball away.
You have a go at people critisising Pook then do it to other players, ummm double standards? :-))( I would personally give Zaaboub a go at centre mid as he is our most skillful player and will get stuck in as shown by his bookings. He would be the attacking option to compliment Timlin. Or god forbid we could actually go back to what appeared to work so well at Walsall and play a fluid 4-5-1 / 4-3-3 formation as 4-4-2 isn't getting us goals in open play |
