Exactly. Both goals came from BASIC errors by the central defenders, leaving him isolated . From being a young child, in the distant past, through the teenage years playing with and against ex pro's, I was told NEVER LET THE BALL BOUNCE IN FRONT OF YOU. The 1st goal. IF IN DOUBT KICK IT OUT, for the 2nd goal. Defenders today seem to have had their defensive instincts coached out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrie Madden Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Dawson is this months Palmer, Fox Nuhiu ..................insert your own prejudice He wasn't brilliant by any means but cost us nothing against Boro His playing it short is Jos' fault its quite obviously instructions Jos needs to get it through his skull that Lees is not a ball playing centre half and ditch this dangerous tactic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s got to the point on Owlstalk now where you have to qualify everything from absolute pedants. I apologise. When talking about Dawson’s positioning on the first Middlesbrough goal I should have been clearer. How can a goalkeeper possibly get his positioning such to cover all of the goal unless of course:- a.) The ball is at a sufficiently wide angle that the goalkeeper standing at his near post covers all of the goal. b.) The attacker being A, the ball being B, the goalkeeper being C and the goal being D. C is close enough to A that A can see none of D and therefore B cannot directly pass through C to reach D. DiSCLAIMER Clause A and B do not take account of a player in scenario A or B who can curl the ball inside the backpost in scenario A or either post in Scenario B. Nor do they take any account that in scenario B , A may find it easy to go around C and put it into an empty D. Freak weather conditions, the goalkeeper falling over or acts of God are not taken account of in the above. No liability can be taken for any other unlikely or improbable scenario that I have missed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan93 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I’m not saying he won’t be a great goalkeeper in the future. However, he doesn’t fill me with much confidence at this moment. He doesn’t command his box or the defence and flaps on crosses. You can’t blame him for the goals against BORO. Jos is sticking with him so there’s no point in moaning! I just wish we had a experienced Championship keeper to push him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls2k Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 14 hours ago, Beany71 said: Shot stopping is what most goalkeepers are good at. What makes a great keeper in my opinion is one that can command his area and can take the ball. This takes so much pressure of the defence. He reminds me is Chris woods from years ago. Still don't agree with slating him at the match. Commanding the area and distribution are definitely what he has to work on, but they are also Westwood's worst attributes. One thing that people don't seem to be addressing is the fact that we now play out from the back unequivocally, so our current goalkeeper has far more on his plate than Westwood ever did, a goalkeeper under Jos now has to be involved in possession and with beating the initial press. There's no doubt Westwood is the better goalie but some understanding from our fans and realisation that Westwood isn't coming back in would work wonders for the kid's confidence.

theowlsman Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) He’s not as good as Westwood, and it makes no sense whatsoever not to play your best keeper when your defence is disorganised and lacking confidence, you can’t keep clean sheets, and your best keeper is fit, raring to go, and being paid well to do nowt. Thought I’d summarise the thread for anyone not wanting to read hundreds of posts on this matter. Nothing to do with slagging a good young keeper. Nobody is out to attack Dawson as such, just not the best keeper at the club. This is what people are pointing out. Maybe the manager should be looking to protect him for a while, so he can come back stronger. Does point out concerns with the manager though. He should be looking to address the problem we have with conceding goals, that leads to dropping points, that leads to us being outside the top 6, with teams like Blackburn and Wigan above us. He seems not to be able to, or want to, address the defensive vulnerabilities we have, it’s one or the other. We do that, and we pick up more points, and could make promotion a possibility.

FreshOwl Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) Once you become a scapegoat it becomes difficult to shake it off (unless you’re putting in world class performances every week). People will scrutinise and watch you even more carefully and find fault with near enough anything Dawson deserves no abuse after Friday night, I can’t remember him doing anything wrong. But now he’s got scapegoat status people will pick out one punch he did in the 17th min or something, when he should have caught. They’ll then use this as ammunition and relate it back to all the dodgy moments he’s had so far to support their argument How it goes on here unfortunately Edited October 21, 2018 by FreshOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HirstWhoScoredIt Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 The thing that seems to have been completely forgotten in all of this is the numerous goals Westwood cost us last season. He was having a nightmare season by his standards before the injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawson's positioning for that was fine nothing else he could have done. And it the majority of cases it is impossible for a goal keeper to narrow the angle enough to cover all of his goal.

Hughthecone Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 It's been stated on different threads and by different posters that Westwood will never play for this club again,why I have no idea ,am not ITK ,but for fooks sake lets just get behind our young keeper and the manger and team,he might be the best goalie in the club,but he isn't flavour of the month,so let's give it a bloody rest its boring.

There's a very good and once loyal servant to the club fit enough to replace Dawson, whereas our defenders aren't really under threat of being replaced as there's not much quality in back up.
