He was a doubt for Saturday after the Brentford game. On his day Wes can destroy teams and we don't have midfielders with his creativity in the team, I know a lot of Norwich fans have major problems with him in terms of consistency and yesterday will probably strengthen the outlook they have of him.
I like Wes, think he offers something different, and when everyone is 100% he'd be in my team. But we've got a squad here who have had to play three games in seven days. He's 32 so not exactly a spring chicken. There definitely needs to be a bit of rotation, just to keep things fresh and to provide a degree of unpredictability.
The problem with Wes is he is either very good or very bad. There seems to be no middle ground with him. With Jonno for instance, people could say that he played just o.k. in a certain match, meaning his contributions were not significantly good or bad. Wes is either an 8 or a 4. Unfortunately the lower score has too great a frequency these days.
Yes, I think asking Wes to play 3 matches in 8 days was a BAD decision and could have cost us the game. Still, I'm sure NA will learn from it!!!!
