Defensively suspect. The biggest myth when I came to Wes. The amount of running and tracking back and winning the ball back that he did was quite incredible for somebody who was always labelled a luxury player.
I disagree. He is still a bit suspect even in League Two, players glide past him. His yellow card today was a hilarious example. He more than makes up for it at the other end!

I should have qualified that by saying I'm referring to the Wes that was playing for Ireland.

I don't doubt that his current ability to move is more akin to somebody walking through a paddy field wearing wellington boots.

I would say it is a similar problem, comparatively.

Harrogate 4-4 Cambridge.

So far Hoolahan's scored, assisted, and won a penalty.

Hes nearly 40 ffs 😁.

The point about running and tracking back is bang on. There was a myth about wes being a luxury player. That wasnt fair imo. The chap had a great attitude and was a class act. It's a shame we didnt use him enough

Would be great to see. With Doyle coming back from Bolton and possibly Wes to Shels, its nice to see lads returing to the LOI. Add to the profile of the League.

Graham Carey supposed to be leaving Bulgaria and returning to Ireland this summer after his contract ends. He'd be a great signing for whoever gets him.

good shout there hh, I’d love to see Carey back at bohs but I would say maybe more likely at pats or shels, both seem to have a lot of spare cash atm.

Wes, sporting a ponytail, almost scored directly from a corner for Cambridge today. It ultimately went down as an Anthony Pilkington own goal, which means his long wait for a first goal of the season goes on unabated.
