That's 2 mistakes in a week. Our defenders must shoulder some blame for not marking their number 19 who had a free hit at the rebound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic shot stopper but i reckon bettwr distribution and commanding of the area would benefit us more. There isn't one at this level or half the level above.

Something is very wrong with his confidence this season. Thought I was the only one to notice. Yes, he looked uncharacteristically unsure on those 2 occasions.

Taximark Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Kicking has been poor,distribution has been poor and he cost us a goal with a clanger, good shot stopper that that means zero if these mistakes keep on happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Credit that he saved it, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he tried to knock it wide but he didn't catch it right. Just one of those things. So fecking gutting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamK2292 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Should've done better I agree but he's not solely at fault. Defensively we switched off and didn't defend properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendoddsdadsdogsdead Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I posted a few days ago after the Brentford match, that I thought Westwood looked a bit heavier than last season, and doesn't look as mobile. I think he is still carrying a knock, but this is only supposition on my part. He is a top quality keeper, and has kept us in numerous games over the past couple of years. However, he seems to come off his line more than in previous years, and more worrying for me, seems to get caught under crosses. That said, I wouldn't swap him for any other keeper in the division, and I'm sure he will be back to his old dominant best very very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't blame a goalie for a free kick that is well placed and coming through the wall... ffs, what are people on here thinking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shot stopper should mean zero anyway.......there isn't a keeper on the top 5 tiers that isn't a good shot stopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trotter Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 He's having a bad run. Beaten at his near post v Forest, howler v Brentford and he should have put that one round the post today. Does appear to be lacking confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopswfc76 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I'm amazed people are blaming Westwood for that today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horny owl Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 If a striker misses the goal it's annoying because it's a missed opportunity If a goalkeeper makes a mistake it costs his team mates, club and supporters everything and so it makes it such a glaring mistake Ive criticised Westwood in the past mainly for his poor distribution But I'm glad he's ours because he'll save us loads more points than he drops IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly thought today's goal was as a result of almost all of our backlines lack of anticipation to sense potential danger. Yes Westwood could have done better but as a keeper i guess you try and put too much on the palm out rather than too little which can sometimes result in the ball coming back into play rather than directly to the side.

As a former goalkeeper myself I would be very disappointed with that but it happens. The art of catching and protecting the ball as a keeper has completely gone. Rationale behind it is punching or parrying it away takes the potential handling error out which is usually very costly with fowards steaming in. Whether i'd have got to the shot or not is a different question but you've got to catch that and smother it. It was almost like he was in two minds. You need to be very strong mentally to be a good keeper because every tiny mistake you make is magnified and potentially very costly. It's also seen as the easiest position on the pitch as far as the fans and the outfield players are concerned. He's going through a tricky spell but it won't be the first time he's had one and I'm surehe will come through it the same way he did before.

Definitely not one of his best assets, has always been one of his biggest weaknesses... very good shot stopper, very poor at coming for crosses- has been that way his entire career Still a class keeper at this level and the call for a new keeper is clearly B/S, but he has been found wanting in recent weeks. Hopefully he can turn it around in the next few games and be back at his best. Considering how many points he's saved us on occasion, he's allowed the odd mistake, and all keepers have them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
