I don't think Westy has played recently. It was mentioned on one of Andy Peaks interviews back in November that he was out injured, and he has only just appeared back in the Melton Town squad for their most recent game - and then only as an unused sub in an 8-0 drubbing of Huntingdon.davealbon wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 12:51 pmAnother option may be to bring Callum Westwood back into the side, and play him and Reynolds as the two fullbacks. I thought Westy was having a very good season until the Kempston debacle, but Reynolds has since made the RB spot his own.Sid wrote: ↑Sun Jan 06, 2019 10:26 pmNathan has done well at left back, but absolutely he is a big loss from midfield. Peaksy says that Jack Ashton is close to a return, maybe he would be an option at left back.Formic wrote: ↑Sun Jan 06, 2019 1:32 pm Some very honest assessment from Peaksy there - so refreshing to hear compared to what many managers spout.
It's concerning to hear than Sam Brown will be unavailable for a number of matches - I think that represents a double-whammy, if we not only lose him but also move Nathan Hicks away from midfield. With Jack Westbrook missing for a couple of games we might have a few challenges - perhaps Joe Curtis might make his first league start of the season.
