He will be even better if we get a decent centre forward to help him, he's not ideally suited to the 1 up front role, just watch his goals for puff and you will see he likes the ball played to feet ,particularly down the side.
Don't think it took many of us too much more than 20-30 minutes of watching him to realise we had a class act

An excellent signing, he's going to get close to cult-status soon. He can actually keep improving too, here's to double figures for Wes

A few weeks ago my lad laid a bet with me for £20 Wes wouldn't get 10 goals this season, on current form I reckon that will be in my greasy palm pretty soon  

I like Wes he's hard working has decent craft and can finish, he backs himself and has proved he can finish. Great attitude and work rate, a really good signing at this level. I also like the military salute goal celebration and all being well we'll see it a few more times yet.

He does seem to get some very unfair treatment from the officials. Now he is fully fit, he is showing his worth. On the highlights you can see how he holds the defender off for Clifton to arrive with the header for the goal.

Yeah he’s great. He doesn’t have any outstanding attributes in my opinion other than scoring goals (which is a skill in itself I guess).

We often leave a big gap between him and the midfield but you never see him moan or shirk having to make a run in to the channel or chase down a defender.

Like I said he’s just one of these centre forwards that gets goals. The way he took his today when he shaped and left the ground like he did I kind of wondered what he was doing. I was glad to eat my words though. Same as last week, in that split second I thought he should take a touch but instead he pulled off a really controlled finish back past the keeper in to the corner.

The first goal was his for the taking too, only an outrageous pull on him stopped it, as the highlights show.

Not easy leading the line on your own like he often has. He's not a huge target man but he's strong, he's no whippet but he's quick enough and his touch and hold up play is good as well. Huge part of our recent upturn.

I said on here a couple of months ago that we might have to expect him being quiet for periods of games before finding something from nothing. Today he had a battle with their centre halves which wouldn’t look out of place on either undercard of the two fight nights this evening. His two latest goals have shown his striking instinct - anticipating a rebound for his second against Swindon and getting his foot on a dropping ball and striking it low today. He’s been a brilliant signing.
