Anyway, here's the tweet. So why did he miss training if he wasn't injured??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When there's a sense of crisis or disappointment in the air, this is magnified many times over. So who knows what the truth is? But clearly something off the field is behind Westwood's absence and there are a handful of stories that keep being speculated about, including that one.

sonofbert2 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 He seems the type who would leave the fridge door open then argue like mad he didn't when everyone knows it was him and it could only be him and the only reason anyone knew it was left open in the first place because he was the one kicking off it was left open and that the milk for his Frosties had gone off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cognacbarnowl Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I actually suffer from chronic insomnia mate. I'm now trying to catch a dose of amnesia so that I can forget I've got insomnia and get some feckin sleep. And I forget my homework but I'll do it before brekkies in the morning.

Athelwulf Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 2 hours ago, Mr. Tom said: ...at which point we'd get six months if we're lucky out of a disillusioned and narky Westwood, before having to find TWO halfway decent replacements for no money at some point in the next 12 months because there's no way we could turn back to Dawson and Wildsmith after mugging them off over a daft tiff that went way above their heads. Agree your scenario sounds realistic, but either way we really need to accept the status quo now and move on. If the club attempt a u-turn at this stage it'd be an absolute train wreck for all involved. I'm not applauding the way it's gone down, but pragmatism is our best bet at this point. That's perfectly fair what you say. And I wouldn't dismiss Jos purely over the Westwood affair. But my reasoning is this. Even Chansiri has said that, in as many words, we don't know where we'll be after this season. It's a last hurrah for the Westwood, Bannan, FF etc generation. I just want us to go for it and try to make the play-offs one last time. I'm not bothered about the style of play, I just want the goal bricking up and the defence solidifying, then apres nous le deluge. We've nothing to lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWLS about that? Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 13 hours ago, RockieOwl said: I'm a Jos fan but he's covering something up. Probably appearance or clean sheet bonus. Probably both. Wont sign a new contract that would take these out even with 1 more year so will just run out his contract is my guess. Not buying that Jos says he's not seen him play. He could have assessed past matches, look at the pre-season and he would see he is our best keeper this season. No-one can say that Wildsmith and Dawson are better over the last 12 months. It is just a contract issue To be fair if Westwood was playing with our defence at the moment, as brilliant as he's been for us, he wouldn't be getting no clean sheet bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Jockstrap Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 If Jos really does believe that Westwood is our third choice keeper on merit/experience/ability then he is either a fool or needs some new glasses. As a paying fan I would like some honesty, unless he believes the above. If he does I give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred mciver Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Of course, no one on rock n roll for 2 years and now earning some £10,000 per week would tell a porkie. Even if just by omission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s frozen out Westwood, he’s frozen out Hutchinson and I’d be willing to be Forestieri will be next on his list. Staggering how evil Jos alone is freezing out all of our poor senior pros, so staggering it's hard to believe it is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such as if he plays a certain number of games it triggers a contract extension or something. And he's at the threshold. For some reason we don't want him to get that extension. Therefore he doesn't play. Thats what I reckon anyway. I don't get why we wouldn't want to extend his contract? We were all delighted when Bannan signed up so why wouldn't we want one of the best keepers in the Championship to do likewise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
