Today was hurrendous individually and as a team, but I find it odd that of all things you pick out Wells.
He was about the only player that was nearly ok.

I was just asking as he is seldom substituted. Wilson sounded like he tormented our defence. With doubts over whether Wells can lead the line, I am just wondering what everyone thinks of him... |

Great finisher but not got a great touch, not very strong and not as good at taking players on as Wilson. Does work hard though but needs a partner.
He also struggled for us in the winter months but that may have been down to L1 pitches/our tactics.

He needs his team mates to put in a shift by creating some chances/openings/anything because everyone knows he is a finisher and isn't going to take on 10 men and smash it in the top corner from 40 yards
It looked like a team of strangers out there

Wells suffers when the team aren't creating any chances for him. He was ineffective today, but he still put in a shift and continued to work hard. He deserves better from his team mates, but he is largely peripheral when the team aren't functioning. |

when vaughan got injured last year we were putting in nice low balls into the box but didnt have the fox in the box.
we went out and signed wells decided to play him upfront on his own then with a winger and hoof the ball to him feel sorry for him he looks shot already.

He deserves better from his team mates, but he is largely peripheral when the team aren't functioning. I've yet to make up my mind about Wells - but that's only because he's continually been played as a lone striker and/or not had a strike partner, which he clearly needs. Also he has yet to receive the sort of service that any striker deserves. When he has a strike partner and he gets some proper service then I'll decide. I believe he will be good because he looks (in flashes) to be a natural striker and goal poacher but can't guarantee it. |

Its hard to judge Wells because he doesn't actually get that many good chances. If he was getting them and missing them then he would deserve some criticism, but this isn't happening. He can only be truly judged as a striker when he's getting the right support/service. |

Thought wells was as poor as all the rest of them and no better than ward.
Wells is a favourite and ward is a scapegoat, but looking past that, they were both equally as crap today IMO.

At the back end of last season I was one of the most prominent people supporting Ward, but no way were him and Wells equally as bad today. Ward was terrible, not doing much more than a couple of flick-ons, whereas Wells was much more involved, albeit still not great. Best of a very bad bunch (well, at least of the starting eleven). |

Didn't really see it like that myself. Thought ward was the more involved of the two.
Its a bit of a mute point I suppose as neither did anything impressive when they did have the ball.
Thought Hammill was the best of the starting XI myself, not that he was in any way that good.

What does he add to the team when he doesn't score? Give him a big man to play off - ie John Stead & give him some service & he'll score, he was blameless today - UTT, |

Town knew the type of player they were signing. They knew he needed a big man up top to hold the ball up for him so what does Robins do? He plays a left winger up front or plays him on his own. It's not Wells fault. If I were him I would hand in a transfer request because the way we are utilising him, his career will go down the swanny

Feel sorry for Wells, He came to Town hoping that he would be playing upfront with Vaughan so they could get a good partnership going, just like Wells did at Bradford with Hanson. How many times has Wells played upfront with Vaughan? 4 times? Vaughans the only striker we have who can help Wells upfront by flicking it on ect. Now vaughans injured and is a lot of the time, It's quite obvious that we need to sign a tall striker who can help Wells up front and get the best out of him! But if the club aren't prepared to sign a striker we are just wasting wells up front, can't play on his own upfront and how are we meant to expect him to head a ball onto other players when he's only small? Big striker needed!

Agreed - even though he's not the GREATEST player ever I feel Henderson would have been a great partner for Wells when JV isnt playing, and more suited to our budget etc. But no we play stubborn and he signs for Leyton Orient (who he scored for today btw) |

Did at least look like he cared yesterday, tried to make things happen, looked upset when he couldn't. May have been ineffective (as we dont play to his strengths) but reffused to go missing as so many others did.

We can't expect him to score if there's no upfront with him and ward can't give him any flick ons, he's there to finish the goals, poor wells!

Can't really tell his potential with being up front on his own, but a good striker should be able to play up front on his own anyway

If I were him I would hand in a transfer request because the way we are utilising him, his career will go down the swanny I dont necessarily think he needs a big man per se.....but he needs balls to feed off and the shower of shite purporting to provide this yesterday (stand up norwood, majewski, hogg, ward and hammill) are just not good enough to do it. Wells is the least of our worries imo. |
