He’s been excellent for us and Joe may still have spells of poor form. But they need to push each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was his 7th start in a row and the confidence shows. Don't forget, all his other performances have been in bits, only stepping in when Westwood was injured. Not easy for a young player in a key position. Two penalty saves in a month as well! Very good point, especially given Westwood has been one of our top performers and one of the top goalkeepers in the division in the past couple of years - big shoes to step into when you are only doing so on the odd occasion, must intensify the pressure to perform a bit.

Halifax Owls Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I've called that Portuguese chancer out as well as a few others however I need to hold my hand up on this one. A flawless performance with one world class save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he should have - and haven't changed my mind Playing week in, week out is a much different proposition to filling in now and again No keeper that has ever lived has not be prone to errors and being erratic in the their professional formative years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoop Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Absolutely no worries about our goalkeeping situation for at least the next 10 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 That save from Donaldson was world class in my opinion. He sorted his feet out early and got a great leap to turn it over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miffed Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Another fantastic performance from him which still makes me so angry with Carlos for playing an unfit Westwood against United at Hillsborough. I'm still convinced that Wildsmith would have saved at least two of the goals that they scored. Why didnt Carlos believe in his backup keeper and insist on playing Westwood when he was injured, especially in a game of that magnitude? Its not as if Wildsmith hadn't proven his worth already.

Flat Owl Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 He's been in great form for a few weeks now and it's only those in front of him that let him down. He deserved the only applause at the end of the game vs Burton. Outstanding save and seemed to find an extra inch in the last fraction of a second whilst falling backwards. The future is in very good hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Tom Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 15 minutes ago, scram said: Actually he is not a world away from the keeper who played against Boro And this is where fans have to be understanding - he's a young guy who despite having great talent - he will make mistakes He is undoubtedly a fine prospect - but all young keepers have "those" moments - and Joe almost certainly will too Displays like tonight show maturity beyond his years and if he can maintain that level and kick on then his future is extremely bright Exactly, our fanbase has been so slavering for evidence of Carlosisms last 12 months, any slight slip from a young kid playing second fiddle between the sticks got pounced on like he was the new Gary Sprake. Well, CC’s gone now and Joe is a cracking talent at ANY age, never mind 22 - that’s reception years for a goalie. Bloody brilliant that we’ve got Westwood 2.0 lined up. Will be a key player for years if we can keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRedanator Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I've always thought he was a bit short to be a keeper, but fair play tonight, his shot stopping, kicking and distribution were excellent. Takes so much pressure of our defence when the keeper isn't splicing one into the stands from a regulation back pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
