Wes Hoolahan is 9/2 to score at any time in the Norwich vs Leyton O game today with Skybet, I think this is massive valoooo.
We have started playing Wes in the free role behind the striker (Grant Holt) which is easily his best role, he has already scored for us 3 times this year despite being sub or not even selected in some games. He is far too good for this league and when we play well everything goes through him. He takes penalties for us, we are starting to play better and wouldn't be surprised if we really turn someone over soon.
Where does this opinion come from Re Wes?
Seems to me watching him that he is just like the bloke in your picture in the last 3 years of his time @ city - piss poor.
His "skill" seems to blinker the fans from the truth that he gives the ball away, does not pull his weight and is so lightweight its untrue. He does have the very odd brief flash of brilliance but not enough to even justify his place IMO.
If they can find a goalkeeper (the current situation is dire), 1 full back, 2 midfielders get Tudor Jones fit and find someone to share Holts workload they might give someone a going over - without it will be a long hard slog this season.
But hey I know little about football, I've gone Wolfsberg, Norwich and Middleborough.
Ha you represent the other opinion of Wes that other supporters seem to share. Playing him anywhere but behind the striker, is asking for trouble as he does give the ball away too much, but giving the ball away in the oppositions half is different to give it away when he is playing in our own half. He was an integral part of the Blackpool team that got promoted out of this division playing the free role behind the striker. We have just played him out of position too much imo.
He was our best player at Exeter and the disaster against Colchester. Then was left out when Lambert came in, as he didn't fit the system yet has forced his way back by playing well for the reserves. The Gillingham manager Stimson said after Saturday game that Wes was the best player on the pitch.
I am not sure about this faith in Tudor Jones he looked very mediocre in the games I have seen, Stephen Hughes looks a lot a better player imo (who is playing tonight). We need a centre back to play along side Askou imo and a right back as Semmy is still useless. Plus a goalkeeper obviously.
Anywhere enough of this Norwich talk I still think Wes represents great value to score tonight.
