Wes on Open Goal
- Thread starter BigDGrant
- Start date
He did make a comment a few months back that he could keep a clean sheet, save endless amount of penalties and something else along those lines and would still get dropped.

Wouldn’t say a bad word about Warburton. Won’t be surprised when he ends up at QPR.
Was bang average.
He’ll be on the bench then as Kelly is a better goalkeeper.

Guys, unless you listen to the interview don't comment slandering him.
Wes was decent for us and always comes across well as a person. He only said the club tried to sell him when McGregor first came in and failed to.
I think that's a failing for the club more than anything because he should've been easy to market given his age and experience. I think Ross Wilson will do much better business for us going forward in terms of getting a return on people.
Aside from that his comments on Warbs, Pedro and Murty are all fair. The recruitment going up to the Premiership was all wrong for how we'd been playing.

Unfairly dropped a few times after covering for McGregors petulant behaviour - easily capable of being Rangers number 1 - wish him all the best in his next venture.
So my old man listened to it there and said there’s only one bit he’s critical of the club and it’s because we tried and failed to sell him when McGregor came back?
It’s hilarious the amount of folk who think Wes was in goals in the 5-0 gubbing by Celtic..

Called his time with us the best of his career.
Very complimentary about McGregor.
A bit negative on Gerrard and felt the club priced him out of a move, happens everywhere.

Some of the replies on here are very enlightening in that regard.

Not watched it yet, but will later.
Was always nervous when any team fired in shots from outside the box at Wes. We shipped some amount of goals when he kept ours.

A keeper who if you compare to McGregor last season there wasn’t much between them

He wasn't critical about the club at all. It was more the people responsible for trying to sell him at the time. It's fair enough.
I was really surprised at his relationship with Gerrard. I thought they had a strong rapport but that's evidently not the case. He says Gerrard told him straight up that he wasn't his type of person.

It’ll be all over the papers, his comments edited and out of context, and it’ll be headlines as a negative
I wouldn’t say what he said was out of order. He didn’t get personal about it, just said the facts according to him.

Storm in a teacup in this thread.
Wasn't good enough for us but doesn't come across bitter in the interview at all.

Of course he would because Alan McGregor is miles better.

Gerrard said if you get your chance it's your Jersey to lose. McGregor gets himself suspended and big Wes has a good game against Killie making a great save at a vital time. following week McGregor straight back in. So much for having to fight for you Jersey.
I like Wes, good goalie and I hope he goes on to have a decent career.

Mark Allen seemed to specialise in not being able to sell any of our players.
Wes was a decent keeper for us, he had his weaknesses, hence the reason he signed for a team in the 2nd tier of scottish fitba.
For some reason.a lot of our fans want to hate our ex players when the leave.
It's a certainty he's getting abuse on his social media now.
Ex gers Players get worse a use than ex mentally challengeds for some bizzare reason.

He’s played 112 games for us and some he was very good but he needs to be in a team that’s being attacked and he is involved all the time as his concentration was his big fall down.

Not disputing that, but as I said, it's my opinion.

No idea why, but I always had the feeling that Caxinha's goalie coach wasn't very good. That interview would confirm said belief.

This.
Alnwick should always be fondly remembered for some important saves in that game, one especially not long after their 5th.

Watched the Rangers part of it
I think he is more bitter toward the process of trying selling him A new manager comes in and decides he wants a better player happens all the time
Wes done us a turn at the level we were operating at have no issues with that clearly enjoy his time with us and wish him well in the future

Some of the Di Canio stuff is hilarious, seems like he thought he was being a bit of a disciplinarian but the players treated it as a giant laugh most of the time.
I liked Wes. McGregor is a better keeper but Wes did us a turn over the years, would be a decent signing for a club on a free.

would've been far worse if he wasn't in goal against that lot.
