Can anyone help... has Westwood been injured? Or was he just dropped on Saturday? I've not seen or heard why he was omitted. If he's injured, what is the injury and how long is he expected to be out? :-)

we'll see see how the club spins it, but i reckon lowton and westwood were dropped.

and deservedly so, they were woeful against newcastle last weekend.

Unless my memory is playing tricks on me, in the pre match interview on BT sport Lambo said that Westy was injured.

When asked if Lowton was injured he said 'no', and nothing more.

Cheers. Fingers crossed he'll be fit and back to his best soon. Hopefully Lowton will bounce back too.

Westwood was said to be injured with a knock picked up in the week. Lowton was dropped it seems.

Rested I imagine is the more appropriate term. It doesn't surprise me at all that one or two of our young kids are having second season dips of form. They'll come back stronger because the manager believes in them.

Whilst I like Lowton in an attacking sense, I think he has been extremely poor defensively for quite a while - a good number of our goals conceded come from his side.  When you combine that with a weakness on the left as well as at least one in the Centre it doesn't bode well.  Which is why for all the faults I found against him in the Liverpool game, Bacuna was tremendous in that position on Saturday.

Lambert was asked about Lowton and Westwood and said Westwood was injured and Lowton was not injured.

Strange considering that though Lowton has been below-par, I don't think he has been any worse then Westwood or Weimann so far form-wise. Perhaps Lambert feels his drop in form is down to lack of effort?

I only caught brief highlights on match of the day - was surprised sylla didnt get a start at Norwich , Westwood and Lowton have been below par this season , so it will be interesting to see how things develop with them - I don't think we can play kea and Westwood together at home.

It's interesting that PL has substituted ML and dropped him this season already, considering that he was an ever present bar one last year.

Perhaps he's developed an attitude and PL is showing him who the gaffer is.

I think he's one to keep faith with players even when they aren't playing too well (see Andi Weiman)

He's been dropped, as has Lowton, because we now have the options to do so. There's no way that Lowton wouldn't have been dropped during the 12 Goals of Christmas run last season, he was as bad as any of the defence. Westwood was fine, but is now off form and has been dropped. He'll get his form back at some point and come back into the side. It's good to now have options to allow for players to go in and out of form.

Ah missed that. But he will be next time, and you suspect one of them was going to go - if Lambo were going to go like-for-like he wouldn't have brought in Tonev as the replacement.
