Curtis Weston

[stfctownenda]

Why make Curtis more defensive when Pook already is? because then he would be a fantastic all round midfielder, he can already go past players, he has a good shot (Bristol Rovers goal), is a good passer and if he learnt more to go up and down a field he would be fantastic and in comparison to Pook he has much more ability.

I agree with most of what you have said there, but he clearly dosnt have a good shot.  The goal against Rovers must have been his first shot on target from outside the box this season. Good goal, but more than a touch of luck about it. Evans has a good shot. Weston / Pook / most of the rest of the team dont.

I appreciate that Pook isnt vey creative with the ball at his feet, but the way he is playing currently warrants inclusion in the team in my opinion.  We were not a creative team earlier in the season with Evans & Weston playing so its unrealistic to suggest Westons inclusion is somehow going to get us playing sexy football.

Not too bothered about playing sexy football just offering something different we are a bit one dimensional at times.  We invite pressure on with 2 defensive midfielders because we don't get out quick enough.  

Say for example if Phil Smith came and caught a cross and wanted to break quick Pook and Peacock wouldn't be sprinting out where as Weston say could make a quick run and get us on the front foot releasing any pressure.

Just think if we were more forward thinking we could win more comfortably in games.  We just always seem to be get a goal then try to hold on, not sure on the stats but the amount of 1 goal wins we have had must be massive and don't get me wrong if it gets us out of this god forsaken league then great but cant help feeling we should be winning games more convincingly (not 5-0 just 2-0 or 3-1 every so often would be great).

Roberts I desperately want to like but he makes it fucking difficult.

Indeed. If he makes one more run and loses the ball the next time I see him play then I am going to stab Gazza.

This attitude fucking stinks.  Roberts makes runs and looks dangerous and fuck me yes sometimes when he goes on a run he loses the ball, guess what, even when the great Diego Maradona or Roberto Baggio went on runs sometimes they lost the ball too.

Well over the Bank Holiday weekend at both Hereford and Torquay it was nearly all the time.

Hey, sometimes Roberts is good, even shows flashes of brilliance (a la Walsall). But not recently.

If I think a player is playing shite then I will say so. Sorry about that.

But the point is that when weston was playing regually and well under wise we still wernt crushing teams 5-0! We still only won by 2 gaols max.

But weren't we also challenging for the title and winning alot more games?

No. We were 4th when Sturrock took over.

Knew I should of checked my stats although I'm sure the winning ratio was probably better as under Wise it was 8 wins 2 losses and 3 draws in the league which Weston was largely involved in.  

Although I will take this argument is becoming tiresome and join you in our shared hatred for that cunt Whalley has he not agreed a termination of his contract yet?  :evil:

I'm nearly certain we'd be in a similar position if Wise was still here.

We've not played good enough all season yet still find ourselves to this close to ideal position - whether it be with Weston, Onibuje, Monkhouse, Brownlie in the line-up or Zaaboub, Corr, Noubissie or Westwood we've not performed greatly - our best performance was under Sturrock at Walsall.

Tis as simple as that.

I have no doubts that Weston has the potential but I do remember Weston being slated for his performances on here.

Basically as long as we're in the top 3 - I couldn't less who is in the starting line-up in order to maintain that position.

I genuinely believe with Brez (with no disrespect to Smith at all), Williams and Evans as the spine of a team all season we would have been champions - add to that a striker joining in january, and we would have had quality throughout.  Look at the biggest prem sides - Arsenal missing Henry and cohesion a the back haev struggled despite the obvious quality in the side.

Like Rich said top three is all that matters now - out of the league asap, we don't wanna be another Bristol Rovers and stuck here for years.

Yes it is a fair point I wasn't so much praising Wise more a case of wanting Weston to start.  I believe Sturrock is a better manager and finishing in the top 3 is the ultimate goal and getting out of this horrific division.

We will get a better idea on Sturrocks management next year once he gets to clear out the dead wood and brings in more of his own players and impacts more of his playing style on the team.

If majority of his signings are as good as Zaboub then we will be in good shape IMO but onwards and upwards, League 1 here we come (hopefully..).

Indeed. Lets all just agree that whalley is both shit and a cunt.

I'd put Weston in my team

[STFC4LIFE]

I'd put Weston in my team

Next to Matt Hewlett, and David Duke (Who was actually underated imo)

[mattboyslim]

Yeah but you though Van Der Linden could be a striker " becasue he was Dutch", vis a vis I have invalidated your opinion.

I do worry about some of you chaps sometimes
