Cant get in the Dundee team, but good enough for the premier league?? Westwood was good yesterday for me, he gets lots of stick and I am not greatest fan but really thought he was decent

I thought Gana was our weakest link in midfield against Wham.
No pace. No dribble. Can pass to the right shirt but only if it's sideways or backwards or less than 10 yards forwards. No goal threat. Awful set pieces. Doesn't win the ball in the tackle very often. Inconsistent tracking of runners. Occasional pass interception. And he's played well over 100 games.

Therefore nowhere near good enough to play in a crucial area of the pitch. Comments about him doing well yesterday - compared with what? Did he influence our attacking moves, did he break up play in the defensive third of the pitch? No, he did his usual of keeping the game ticking over by passing to somebody in no better position than himself.
I think Westwood will be useful next season and played ok against West Ham. I would prefer a fit Gardner in there for his better passing and shooting.
Look you lot it's not nice you saying we're the worst. But midfielder Ashley Westwood says it is unfair to label them the worst-ever Premier League side as they have already eclipsed Derby's 2007-08 11-point total and Sunderland's 15-point haul in 2005-06."We’ve been called the worst team in Premier League history and, of course, that does hurt," said Westwood."The facts are we’re not. We’ve got enough points to show that we’re not the worst, but it’s still not nice to hear."
