I've been a his biggest fan but I'm losing faith, just too ponderous in everything he does.

Me too, he might be a shithead but he's a competent lower Prem central midfielder who scores a few goals.

Is there a Westwood thread anywhere because that's where the real problem lies? Westwood is shite. King of the side passes.

The one constant in 3/4 years of shite.

Westwood  runs his socks off and shoots and passes, Gardner what is his purpose on the pitch?

I see the weaknesss in Westwood but if he's not playing, who gets the ball to the five forwards we seem to want to play?

The mix of the midfield isn't right but I'm really not convinced Tish and Jedinak will offer us enough going forward.

Westwood made several good forward passes today which you just knew at the time would be obliterated from collective memory

Westwood is Blues, stop fooling yourself, seen enough evidence over the last 5 years to know exactly what he is about.

He's not good enough. The first goal today, it's one thing playing a terrible pass anyone can do that, but the lack of effort to get back and correct that error was awful.

I think you've all hit the nail on the head, westwood what does he contribute?? Gardner just not good enough, together they are as much use as the chuckle brothers.

Did he? I watched and have watched him closely for the last years. His initial thought when any opposition player is in his viscinity is to look for a pass backwards. The most positive thing about his play is a sideways pass and even that is slightly backwards. We have other players who could be far more positive including Gardner.

Spot on about Westwood. He's just a nothing player who gets the ball and makes a nothing pass which comes to nothing. He's as weak as water who gets muscled off the ball easily, offers little protection to the back four, and when he gets a rare chance to shoot invariably nothing comes of it. Just look at today, he gets a decent chance to shoot, no one around him, the whole goal to aim at yet he shoots straight at the keeper. I mean he didn't even have to move. He's a complete and utter waste of space who has played his part in our embarrassing decline. Honestly why he's still at the club remains one of life's great mysteries and in my opinion we won't be promoted with him in the team.
Jedinak and Tshibola have to step into the fray.
