@owlstalk Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Westwood has had surgery and is now 6 weeks away from starting to train with the squad. We must have a lot of patience that certain players can play in this competition Westwood is not the only player to have surgery. A few others have now done so too.

oh_weds_we_love_you Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 May as well give the players recovering from surgery/serious injury the rest of the season off and get them in the gym working on their fitness. We'll see a massive benefit next season! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want you as a boss.. If it increases his chances of coming back next season as the quality GK we all know he is, and in a much fitter state and a reduced chance of injury, then damn right. Plus, he'd be working on strength and fitness - hardly a jolly! Edited February 19, 2018 by oh_weds_we_love_you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be gutted if i was told i wasn't needed and should just stay home and train.. I'd be looking for the door, to go to a club that wants me to be their number one.

Think that's what's been wrong at the club for a while. Gym work and Keeping fit are hardly, or shouldn't be, a rest from your labours. This is where, in the old days, the second (Central league) team idea at a club was so beneficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowl Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I wonder if we got a block booking discount on the operating theatre. Westwood is not the only player to have surgery. A few others have now done so too Are these players we already know about or are they ones not previously disclosed? The wording suggests it is recent operations but that could just be down to language difficulties. I'm not too fussed about Westwood coming back, we've got good cover and I think we are going to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsheri Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Genuinely not fussed. We have 2 excellent keepers in Wildsmith and Dawson. For me Westwood is No2 now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Westwood is No2 now Wildsmith has done fantastically well in Westwoods absence. But, being realistic, if Westy had been fit and ready he probably would have come back into the team after Joe dropped one v Boro at home. He deffo would have been back in the sticks following on from the Brum game. Joe's a fantastic prospect and has a long future ahead of him with us. His time will come. For now though, Westwood is still my number 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxine Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 It's a difficult decision regarding the keepers but I'm sure next season it will be Westwood who's number 1 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've not done the greatest of jobs phasing our players back in recent times, have they? I'm sure Westwood will realise that by affording him time to recover and make sure he's in better condition next year is a vote of confidence that he's our no.1...

For now though, Westwood is still my number 1. Disagree. Jos would have stuck with him. Why destroy a lads confidence after 1 bad game Especially after being voted player of the month. Wildsmith has had a chance due to Westwoods injury. He's taken it and he's number 1 now for me. Firmly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
