Spades Posted 13 April, 2009 Share Posted 13 April, 2009 Brilliant today, my MOTM. Won everything, excellent passing, always encouraging. Even managed to turn 2 palance players inside out with a sharp turn int he first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Shango Posted 13 April, 2009 Share Posted 13 April, 2009 That turn was amazing, couldn't believe it came from Wotton. To be honest I think he's a terrible player who isn't good enough to play in this league, but he did do well today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 13 April, 2009 Share Posted 13 April, 2009 Also great at keeping the other players concentrating and generally encouraging. They seem to respect him and it was a wholehearted performance from him. Also liked the way he led the applause and fist pumps to the fans at the end.

derry Posted 13 April, 2009 Share Posted 13 April, 2009 His enthusiasm masks his limitations, he won a few headers but failed to get to a lot more, his passing was hopeless, his main target was Davis, he worked hard but because he is not mobile he is very limited.

Super_Uwe Posted 13 April, 2009 Share Posted 13 April, 2009 He has been an intriguing signing for us; my father-in-law is a big Argyle fan and, although he was certainly a popular player for the Pilgrims, it was stated at the time that Sturrock did not offer him a new deal as he felt he had lost his sharpness. So I was a little surprised we offered him a relatively long-term deal (presumably down to him being a free transfer). On paper though he is the sort of player we need in the middle of the park; a grafter with strong leadership skills. OK, his passing is not super (!) but he can put his foot in and win the ball. Also is a renowned set-piece specialist (although we have not seen much evidence of that sadly!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fen Posted 13 April, 2009 Share Posted 13 April, 2009 Not the best of players but thought he had a good game today and probably was MOTM. Gets struck in and shows plenty of passion, just a shame he lacks any quality on the ball. Great Turn though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted 13 April, 2009 Share Posted 13 April, 2009 Not the best ability wise but you can't fault his effort and commitment to the cause. I've never been his biggest fan, but he had a decent game today and protected the back four very well. Got some strong tackles in as you'd expect and was solid and reliable when called upon.

The Godfather Posted 13 April, 2009 Share Posted 13 April, 2009 Have been a big critic of Wotton but did a good job in front of the back four today.

L1Minus10 Posted 13 April, 2009 Share Posted 13 April, 2009 He was the main reason we played so well today. I am amazed if anyone thinks otherwise. He won everything in the middle that was there to be won, he is the on-field captain of the side and they all look up to him, Also, bonus today was that all his deliveries into the box from free kicks were excellent and really in the right areas. yes, he is limited and can look cumbersome but he's exactly what we need right now. It's a team game and it takes all sorts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsdinho Posted 14 April, 2009 Share Posted 14 April, 2009 Very poor player IMHO.... When we first signed him, I was quite pleased as I felt he was the kind of player we could with to sit in front of the back 4. But my opinion quickly changed after a few games..... His ability in the league is woeful, but what p1sses me off most about him is the way he gives the other players a hard time. It wouldnt be so bad if he was a quality player, but to play like he does then have the cheek to moan at James for a poor pass takes the ****. I wouldnt be surprised if he didnt have any respect amongst the younger players. They probably think he a bit of a ***** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillett is superior in every department to Wotton. Palace is probably a team that suits having Wotton playing against them, as they are a hard physical outfit and we needed him to mix it with them. Had our oponents been a decent, talented team playing good football, I suspect that they would have easily found him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Shango Posted 14 April, 2009 Share Posted 14 April, 2009 He was an integral part of a winning team and with a winning mentality. We have won a grand total of 2 league games of season when Wotton has started, yesterday against a Palace side who are already on the beach, and Doncaster back at the start when they were ****. Just because he shouts and pumps his fists a lot doesn't make him a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 14 April, 2009 Share Posted 14 April, 2009 He was an integral part of a winning team and with a winning mentality. He is a player that we brought in because he was not deemed to be good enough for Plymouth to insist on keeping him. A bit the same as other players in our squad, notably Smith, who couldn't even get to stay with Millwall. As for some of those other signings, we wasted money on some others who have made hardly any contribution at all, players like Molyneux, Pulis and Gasmi. In many ways, it is a shame that we have sunk so low that we have to include such as Wotton in the team mainly because of his so-called leadership qualities. He did Ok against Palace, but as I say, had we played a decent footballing side, he would have been shown up for what he is. A winning mentality is no good without the basic skills to ally to it. Personally I'd prefer a player with the skill to keep possession and pass with accuracy. We had several of those until fairly recently, Safri being the last who had skill and an element of leadership and good mentality. Before that, hard to beat Marsden. But Wotton might be more of an asset in the 3rd division if that is where we find ourselves next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBenali Posted 14 April, 2009 Share Posted 14 April, 2009 Wotton did have a good game, the only way I realised this was other the match when it occurred to me I hadn't once had my hand in my heads after a terrible pass/header with height but no direction.

You wouldnt have seen them play anyway as you were in your boycott, it didnt matter if it was Ronaldo or would you have gone then? I wonder if it would be best that RL was still there if all the returnees wish to do is criticise the players. Wotton is not a star player i'll give you that but he is what you need when you need to grind out results.he has not had a consistant run ion the side to get a understanding with the rest of the players.Safri was a better player, but decided to leave as a last payday.

Nick, for your information, I had only boycotted the matches for Preston, Cardiff, Derby and QPR. I have attended every other home match this season, which is an attendance record better than many on here. When Lowe was gone, I came back for the Charlton and Palace matches and will also go to the Burnley game too. Your comments about Ronaldo are ridiculous. I will be attending next season complete with 2 STs regardless of whether we are in the third division or not. I didn't even go to the Man United game either, rendering your comment about Ronaldo even more wide of the mark. Regarding Wotton, when you are grinding out results you need good squad players if not stars, but also it is imperative that you have players who can make decent passes to keep possession too. I also note that on a football forum, you have questioned the right of posters to be critical of a player's abilities, or lack of them. I had not mentioned Lowe in this thread, but you sought to bring it up, thus attempting to turn a debate about a player into one about the ex-chairman. If you accept that the reason that we can only afford players of Wotton's calibre because of the boardroon shenanigans, then fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
