Sorry didn't realise you could see into the future, can you let me know if it is worth wasting my time going to Wigan next week

To be fair to Westerman, its going to take a while for him to find his feet at FC, he was a long time at Cas. Been getting better and better each game, as have FC, strangely enough.

As long as he doesn't replace Crooke's off field performances.

your not wrong mate

good praise comparing him to chester - chester was an excellent player when fit

cant see westerman been anywhere nr what cookie was on the field...love or loathe the man he did a very good job for fc and was talked about by other fans for his playing ability...can you see that in westerman who went missing for cas for 2 seasons,i cannot as i dont think he has the confidence,he may have the skill!!!

Yes can see it in Westerman, he just has more players around him now that take the pressure off. he is still a little raw and has lots of time ot improve yet.



Was Cooke talked about as being an GB prospect as much as Westerman.

I think he was. Problem for Cooke was that he started to believe it.

Edited for a truer assessment.

I think some of the fans did too TBF.



You need a player to have confidence in their abilities , without being over confident.

I think Cooke knew he was not really at the standard he'd thought when he agreed the move, he was just offered more cash and he went for it.

I think there was a lttle more to it than just the money.
