Shetland Owl Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 for me he plays too many short balls when he needs to take pressure off with long ones. We however don't know what he has been told to do A defence is not just the goal keeper its all 5 players and at then moment Lees is way off form so leaving gaps.

Can you tell me if you agree or disagree about Dawson’s positioning. If so why? I think you make some valid points. That one in the first half where he was static to his line when the ball was played through. Compare it to an instance where we put one into their box and Butland read it and was out quickly to it. To be fair to Dawson he isn't making many schoolboy errors but his decision making can improve which will do with age and experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Everything Dawson struggles with is very coachable, he needs to keep playing...the worst thing for him would being sat on the bench every week. I see major flaws in Wildsmith’s game that will be much more difficult to coach, for example he technique when kicking under pressure will require significant work. By the way, if we’re talking about Dawson being rooted to his line...Wildsmith is far worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth anybody would criticise a player to justify their opinion is absolutely ridiculous. Get over it, Westwood is currently our no 3 and needs to knuckle down and fight for his place absolutely not having that. I would question your understanding of goalkeeping if you don’t understand what I said and you think he was totally blameless for both goals. He was hesitant and he cost us a goal (2nd one). I was right behind him on the kop and having played as a keeper all my life I know what I’m talking about. The first one is debatable but it wasn’t in the corner and it looked like Dawson committed himself before the shot came in. He’s a young lad and I’m behind him and I know he’s going to make mistakes like all the young lads do. The point about Westwood is a valid one. I don’t care what you say he’s the best keeper we have at the moment and that’s undeniable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You simply can’t judge a player who isn’t playing , he looked fine against Lincoln that was his last game so why aren’t you sure ? If you’re arguing that you can’t judge him because he’s not playing then sure you can’t jusge him as good either? Looking fine against Lincoln in a preseason friendly is hardly compelling evidence. Im making my judgement based partially on the form from before his injury and much more so on the judgement of Weaver and Jos. I believe they know better than me or you.

Haha you were making your assumption on Westwood’s last game I assume so was I , No they don’t know what they are on about if they think banishing Him to obscurity is the best option , there has to be more to this than meets the eye .

I don’t care what you say he’s the best keeper we have at the moment and that’s undeniable. I understood everything you said and having played and coached i think i can offer my opinion. The only thing he could do with the first is try and second guess as Afobe had several options due to the angle he was approaching the goal. To be fair it was a cracking finish and Dawson was given no chance. The second he had 2 players to consider and having watched back i cannot see where he hesitates, he has to plant his feet at some stage to give himself a platform. Westwood was a great keeper and maybe still is, but the decision has been made by people more qualified than both of us. Going on about every goal we concede and saying Westwood would have saved that is all subjective as you dont know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhopping Owl Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) He's not the first keeper we've had to struggle with where to put himself, Kirkland was a great keeper but he had an infuriating habit of standing in no man's land, especially from free kicks. If Dawson is still doing this when he's Kirkland's age then I'll be worried, but he'll learn and iron this stuff out of his game - except if we make a knee jerk decision to drop him. Leave the lad in, other than at Wigan I wouldn't say he's cost us anything particularly. He's doing fine.

Also so the fact that they both made errors could be the reason why neither of them are in net this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of being ready for first team football is being able to deal with criticisms and opinions...no matter if they are right or wrong The only unacceptable comments are the ones about personal stuff, like hair colour, which is ironic because you are the one to mention it.
