Agree that Morton will be decent given game time.
My only surprise with Morton is Kev not giving him more time at the end of last season

When he first came on there was a clear header he should have made in midfield. It would have hurt a little but nothing that a braver under 10 wouldn’t get his head to. So I agree there is something missing - it could just be that bit of bravery or willingness to do something where he may get hurt.Wood should’ve perhaps done a lot more given the positions he was getting into .. he got probably most shouts/instructions from the Amigos. I still see a v. good player in there but he’s just lacking something .. confidence? (purely my opinion).
He was quality on the ball but Maher never liked him,retained far worse but we know he doesn’t like skilful players. His shooting was atrocious but had plenty of pluses. If ya face don’t fit with Maher then may as well move on as he has
Wes was great at drifting into that bit of space between the lines and had enough about him to take it past a man or hold the ball up. His “numbers” weren’t great though and I for one never used to get excited when he got into those positions as it rarely felt anything would come from it. But he stuck around during the “troubles” and despite his flaws was good enough for the level we are at, if not the next.Maher was a big fan of Wes actually. Maher loved all the players that have been with us, which includes Wes.
Wes was frustrating, as he had the talent. But if he could apply that on a regular basis he’d have never played here and would be much higher up the food chain, same as all the players at this level.
I get the impression they were just sick of shouting at wes all game to put more effort in. They demand 90 minutes of press and concentration, thats how you win games.
I would venture 'regular' is the most important talent, and Wes didn't have it.Maher was a big fan of Wes actually. Maher loved all the players that have been with us, which includes Wes.

That's possibly where the cracks could show if they was going tooI love Maher to bits but this season he is going to be under pressure to better last season's league position.
Interesting to read Wes' quotes in the echo on Friday. Sounds like he may have been waiting for a decision on an improved offer compared to the one he was originally offered at the end of the season.I’ve mentioned this before, but Wes was offered a deal, Kev & co rate him, but the deal was reflective on the role they saw him having this season.
Wes decided to try elsewhere and good luck to him.
Kev is desperate for a creative midfielder, and it looks like he’d probably have taken Wes’ spot in the side.
