Though tbf to Westwood he's responded in the proper way. Must be quite grating when you've been a very good servant for a club and then you've got Alan flipping Biggs (among others) advocating that you get binned off in the summer.

Ronio Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I completely disagree with those writing Westwood off. Number 1 keeper for me. Keiren has been outstanding for us, and I will even go so far as saying, he is easily the best keeper we have had since Pressman all those years ago. Easily still the best keeper outside of the top flight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoop Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 If a prem side comes in for him I hope he goes, as he deserves one last shot at it before age really catches up with him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handworth52 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 sorry Kieran I disagree ,top bloke,top keeper but injuries and age are catching up with you , keepers always get the least injuries as footballers . he has missed 40 games in 4 years also been subbed off in a number of other games with injuries , he has been a brilliant servant for this club but how many Ireland squads has he pulled out of in 4 years? the question should be how many Ireland squads has he been involved in as its that few . he has had a lot of niggles and injuries which stop him training over last 2-3 seasons but in general he played the week after. injuries are killing this club ,they are draining the life out of club in wasted wages and none have a sellable asset due to having too good a contract. 11 out for season now, totally forget the idea that they will all be fit by next sept/oct few will come back and even fewer will stay fit sorry to say it.

westys understudy Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 A fair and valid point for both sides of debate.......cash in will only decrease in value but there’s no substitute for experience and he’s a class act and someone the the younger keepers will benefit from working with gaining valuable knowledge from. Overall I’d say keep around for another season or two might just be to soon for Wildsmith and Dawson if we’re going for playoffs next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 If we can afford to keep him as no1 I would do so. Top keeper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Sounds like he's reminding our present goalies he's still hungry for football, which can only be good for everyone connected to SWFC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saywended Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Keiran has 12 months left on his contract. Are we likely to offer him a new deal ?. As much as he has been a fantastic keeper for us , I can not see us offering him a new deal, with 2 great younger keepers. I think we will ( if he is fit) be putting him on the market this summer , free up a big wage and maybe get a transfer fee . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season 2014-15 he missed 3 championship games. Season 2015-16 he missed 12 games championship games. Season 2016-17 he missed 3 games championship games. Season 2017-18 he's missed most of it. Not really that bad is it,certainly not as far as some are suggesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only including League, because Carlos liked to play Wildsmith in cup competitions rather than Westwood not due to injury. 2014/15- 44 appearances. Missed 2 matches, one due to suspension and the other was the last game of the season against Watford. 2015/16- 37 appearances which includes the Play Offs. Missed 12 games due to injury. Missed 5 games around September time and missed 5 games over Christmas in a row. 2016/17- 45 appearances including Play Offs. Missed 3 games due to injury. 2017/18- 18 appearances. Missed the 3 games after the Derby defeat and then returned. But has not been available since 15th December. To me his injury record for this season and the 15/16 campaign for a keeper is pretty poor. I'd like to compare that to other number 1s in the Championship. However last season and in his first season here he was pretty much ever present. Personally if we could get a fee for him I'd sell and use that money to strengthen elsewhere. Particularly if we need to start balancing the books in the summer. This season there are 14 keepers in our league who have missed 4 games or less. Of the other 9 (not including Westwood) I don't know how many have missed games due to being dropped. Last season he was 1 of 11 keepers in our league who missed 4 games or less.

It's not his fault that Carlos tended to pick Wildsmith or Dawson in cup ties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
