shtommer Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) Dawson has gone backwards in recent games, his confidence has clearly taken a knock. He never used to flap at crosses like this - I wouldn't mind if he had a good punch on him but he can't seem to get distance on it at all. To be expected I suppose for a young keeper trying to establish himself, but he's becoming a liability. Hope Weaver has him practising catching crosses non stop for the next 2 weeks... PS I do rate him but he needs to build his confidence back up Edited October 10, 2018 by shtommer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinOwlMan Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 He flapped at ONE cross on Sunday, of the many that Bristol City launched into our box. Chris Woods used to flap at every cross that came anywhere near him and for some reason a lot of our fans look back on him as if he was a legend. A bit of balance lads, come on.

Its just an easy thing to say about any goalkeeper and you dont really have to back it up with evidence. I cant remember many occasions (if any) where we have conceded due to Dawson not commanding his area, definitely not in the past few games. Maybe due to the defense not doing their jobs properly, yeah, but certainly not Dawson. We don’t need to concede for people to highlight something that’s happening that needs to improve.

HootHoot Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) "Dawson doesn't command his area" Pretty sure when I was watching the West Brom game Dawson was screaming at Pudil (one of our more experienced players too) to get forward because he was sitting too far back from the goal kick. Pudil ran forward. Is that not commanding enough? Everyone needs to forget about Westwood. He was a great player for us but Wildsmith and Dawson stepped up when he was injured, and unfortunately that's part of the game. You have to earn your place back into the squad and clearly he isn't doing that. Jos has said repeatedly that its the defence that is the issue. Dawson has faced more shots than any other keeper. Instead of berating him, maybe we should focus on reducing the number of shots. Take enough shots at goal and sooner or later a goal will come, even the best would struggle to stop that.

Westwood against Sunderland last year had a couple of brainf*rts that Dawson has never had...The lads a decent keeper, Westwood I admit is probably a better one, but he's not on the teamsheet, and its not Dawsons fault. The only way to stop this criticism is to let Owls fans know WHY Westwood isn't on the teamsheet, if there is a good reason why not let us know what it is...It would certainly get Dawson off a hook he really doesn't deserve to be on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he really?....on Sunday he made 1 nailed on match saving save and then pinged an 80 yard ball to Joao to score. If he's gone backward to that standard then I'm surprised we didn't cash in when he must have been putting in £75m performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GY-owl.4 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Dawson has a right to be reallllly pi$$ed off with the stick hes getting on social media, main reason for being pi$$ed off is that his performances in the main this season, have been nowt short of excellent. He actually deserves the amount of stick hes getting, reversed to praise, yes based on performance. His Handling of low shots, even if fierce and bouncing in front of him, is awesome. his 1 v 1s are a joy to watch, doesnt make the first move and stays up late, big. im talking exactly the save he made v brizzle from the handball chance, but there are many others. oh hes just copying the schmeical way....well why wunt ya? plenty of others havent and it is to their detriment, any saves a good save they say? well even when he's flapping hes coming thru a ruck of players and getting SOMINK on it. and the somink is the all important touch. many a time at full stretch a finger tip with the slightest of deviation on the ball is enough to take it off someones head.. what im trying to say is id much rather he keeps showing the confidence to come for the ball, than be rooted to his line everytime hoping the defence win the 1st header. Shot stopping? oh blah blah all keepers are good at shot stopping nowadays right.. maybe most are, but this young kid has been exceptional hasnt he? commanding his area thats being talked about... jonesy87 did a good thread on ere the other week about it and he was spot on tbf, didnt hammer Dawson at all but pointed out some finer points. starting point etc. if that is an issue its an expected one? last thing a new young keeper wants to do is come rushing out, not getting there and its a goal. Hes hesitant at times due to his safety first attitude, but i prefer that than him be the other way. had westwood died slipping on a wispa wrapper in waitrose and banging his head on the floor..... or moved to watford... these issues folk are talking about wouldnt be talked about, all the over the top hysteria, is cos KW s still here. dont know if ive ever seen such a skewed view form such a wide proportion of folk.. and i dont mean criticism of him, thats fine. i mean how disproportionate it is to reality. still getting posts about goin on training ground to learn to catch ffs.... HE CAN CATCH like you wouldnt believe on the training ground. like a freak in fact, cos hes been doing it probably forever... but thru a melee at great speed with big strong guys with screaming fans in a real match... its not quite so easy for a young kid finding his way in the mens game, to get it right everytime.... but so.foukin.what! Dawson and Penney are the two big things to come out of this season so far. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred mciver Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Goalies worried about a bit of stick on here won't make it. Dawson won't let that bother him but he's young and will make costly errors. Westy while he's learning and top 6 this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
