Gnarwolf Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I'm so confused about this whole situation, on the one hand; Jos sees him day in, day out and should ultimately have the final and most informed say on who the best keeper is, but at the same time, everyone knows who the best keeper is, and it's not like its close. If it is true that Jos genuinely thinks that Westwood is the 3rd best then it begs the question, why didn’t he sell him? His wage must be very high and he could command a couple of mil in actual value. Very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Maxine Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 He was number one before he was injured so he should have been number one when fit again. There's more too it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats exactly what I was thinking. Jos isn't been straight with us, what's the point coming out with a statement that's not the full story.

Yes but that wasn't the statement from the manager. He actually makes himself look incompetent. A competent manager would have seen enough of Westwood's previous performances so he knew the sqaud. With the injury situation he inherited,videos of old games would have been invaluable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrysgame Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Can see his point, we do need to give the youth a chance and they have done well for us. Shame for Westwood as do think he is the best keeper at the moment, but progress of a sort. Think they must treat Goalies different to outfield, think FF walked back in when fit as has Fletch.

If you are coming back from injury you can't just expect to walk back into the team based on reputation. Disagree...your keeping position is the most important on the pitch. You look at our results and clean sheets with Westwood in the team and look at them without. I will apologise if I’m wrong but I think you will find the results pretty clear for all to see!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Lestrade Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Jos is obviously looking to the future rightly or wrongly, by giving the two youngsters more experience. Just goes to show how difficult a managers job is fans call for youngsters to be played, he plays them and then the fans call for the oldies. His best bet is to do the job his way and ignore outside influences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowl Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 If Westwood is leaving anyway, why can't we play him until he does? Dawson can then take over at that point. This freezing out of players - even if with a view to moving them on - doesn't seem right to me. Jones, Abdi, and Westwood - before we had McGugan too. Big wages there, and no guarantees that we'll be able to move any of them on before the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
