Quote: Saddened! "You lot have such low expectations though. So Wellens doesn't make many mistakes and is solid defensively? So bloody what. The team is as tight as a nut anyway, we need to make the side more dangerous and expansive.
Wello didn't have a great season, he struggled a lot of the time, it just wasn't as noticable as the whole team was turgid and he doesn't drop the ball. That is the sole thing Saints fans look to in order to rate players, how often they knock on.
I can't believe some of you want to wait for 2 years to think about replacing him. He's not what he once was.'"
Dear god, i agree with you.
Because im now residing in Leeds i had a chance to watch Webb at Headingley and as much as i love wello and all he has done, he just doesn't come close to the skills that Webb has in collecting the ball, gaining the metres and the speed. He beats Webb in tackling and discipline but thats something that can be taught.
I'd take the same approach we have with Sean Long and offer him 1 year when his contract is up and then get him on the staff.
