His kicking isn't always the best, but not sure why you and a few others are over doing it with the criticism. Anything to have a pop at a player though. Nope, I can prove it and I have always said this about Westwood. Taken from sofascore.com Westwoods Long Balls vs (accuracy) Brentford 29 (9) Forest 17 (9) Burton 11 (3) Sunderland 13 (4) QPR 20 (6) Preston 39 (12) Overall: 129 - 43 = 33.33% accuracy Each time Westwood gives away possession it puts us under pressure. Westwood needs to stop the long balls and pass it to his CB. Edited September 14, 2017 by iliveinthenow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a funny one really because he got two assists the year before last by just leathering it down the length of the field. Though they were drop kicks rather than floor kicks. Who he gives the ball too depends on the danger I suppose. It might be instructed to hoof it. Look at Forests keeper the other week.Clearly been told to give it to defenders wherever possible. Gives the ball to his defender, Wallace pressures, the keeper gets it back under pressure and just ends up shanking it to Bannan. If he just walloped it first time down the pitch they might have given the ball to Wednesday. But they have given it to us 70 yards from their goal and with most chaps behind the ball. Swings and roundabouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asteener1867 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Imagine if Ola Tidman had to apologise after every gaffe? His shirt would look like this on the back..... Tidman 1 (sorry about that) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the stats for how many times it has cost us a goal directly? He could get himself a 100% success rate by passing it 3 feet for Lees to leather upfield instead - But Im not sure it would make him a better goalkeeper.

i used to be sc_owl Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Best 'keeper we've had in decades. I think we can all forgive the odd mistake here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wexowl Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 yes those long balls but surely our players can see where it's gonna land as well as the opposition. Do our guys compete at all for them or just shuffle a few feet and look fed up....................................................... gets coat.................

kendoddsdadsdogsdead Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Kept us in more games than I can count over the past couple of seasons. His mistakes are highlighted because of his position. One thing I will say is that he looks a tad, how shall I put it and not sound catty, a touch tubbier than in previous seasons. !!! I am no Mr Slimsea myself, but he does seem a bit slower in his movements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
