McRightSide Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) Still makes too many mistakes for me. If we have any ambition of getting promoted next season he should be out on loan playing 40 odd games to iron some of those kinks in his game out Major technical issues with his kicking too which - unless corrected - will severely hamper his potential Edited April 8, 2018 by McRightSide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I'm not that fussed about his kicking TBH...He hit Nuhius head enough yesterday, ..or Nuhiu got to it.. As long as he clears it, I'm not fussed.... We can't play out from the back cos we haven't got the talent nor the pace to move it quickly enough...

It’s poor kicking under pressure that’s the main consequence of poor technique. Under no pressure it doesn’t have a major impact (aside from the odd punt into touch) Better teams will position us to a point where we have to keep giving him the ball under pressure and wait for the inevitable mistake.

SiJ Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) Westwood is still number one for me if he stays in the summer. Think Joe has all the potential in the world, but he's going to have to work on his distribution. Shot stopping wise he's exceptional but his kicking leaves (particularly when clearing on the ground) a fair bit to be desired.

Hardly ever see a team set up those "tactics"..They might make the odd run at him, but I doubt it would be at the forefront of a team talk , unless he had a habit of making major rickets from his clearances...which he doesn't..

poite Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Just can't understand why people seem to have completely forgotten how good Westwood is. It's nothing against wildsmith or Dawson. Both excellent but not the standard of Westwood. These amazing saves that wildsmith is pulling off are fantastic. But Westwood has been doing it season after season for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A high press increases the chance of a pass back to the keeper, and a higher chance of being able to put that kick under pressure Edited April 8, 2018 by McRightSide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanye West Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Echo what most are saying, he's a great shop stopper but he distribution is poor and lethargic. Westwood should be back in goal when he's fit imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 For those lamenting Wildsmith's distribution as his weak point (wisely so), don't forget our Kieren's distribution isn't much better! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
