I am not doubting he could be a good player but he currently is not the best player of his position at his own club. But the Westwood travesty has been done to death now.

james o connor Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Good keeper is Dawson, and getting better despite our bell end fans slagging him off and singing Westwood’s name (embarrassing ) . Unlike a lot who are eother not good enough or sat earning massive wages doing nothing , he’s doi g a good job. The least of the clubs issues at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have an international keeper who for the 4 years previous to this season was the best keeper in the league, who back to back for 2 season made our defense record breaking and contributed to probably getting 15-20 points a season from his performances add to that he has a record of one clean sheet in every 3 or 4 games. When you have a player like this in your goal it gives the defense confidence in front of him, that if they make a mistake he normally bails them out. If you are keeping clean sheets you only need to score 1 goal to win games this gives your attackers confidence. Currently we have the worst defense in the league, Dawson is a great shot stopper but is command of his box is poor, he does not close attackers down to narrow angles, his distribution is not great either and he does not have the football skills to pass the ball around at the back but he is 23 and needs game time to develop. What has happened to him so far this season could have a massive detrimental affect on him and for all we know he could ask for a transfer to leave. We also forget the other guy who the manager has thrown on the scrap heap, you know they guy that did so well last season for 20 odd games, signed a 5 year deal and now warms the bench while the worse defense in the league plays and he cannot get a game. Bet Wildsmiths confidence is through the roof at the moment with the way he has been treated. Yawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Wembley against Hull Westwood he was our stand out player, out MOM without him we could have been 4-0 down at halftime.. But last season he was poor, he looked slow and cumbersome, his distribution was shocking.. He needed moving on.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season he was injured as was Lees, Forestieri, Bannan, Hooper, Lee, Pudil, Loovens, Hunt, Fletcher and so on - presumably all of these players need moving on as well. Last season seems to be a selective excuse for him many other players spent longer last season injured that him but they have been allowed to play games this season Westwood has not. How can he get match fit, if he is prevented from playing any football what so ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N0rtherner Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I rate Dawson highly for his individual goalkeeping skills, what I'm still debating is whether he has enough presence and control over our defensive line? We've had a terrible defence for some time now and I'm not shifting blame for that on our keeper, but part of that organization of defence often relies on an alert keeper who will shout commands to coordinate that defence. The fact he may seem protected by our defence and choose not to come out - consistently - and claim/box on free/corner kicks could be more signs he's not filling that role. Keepers are different that way, but personally I feel the ones asserting themselves and controlling the back line tend to fare better because they also get the team's defence into shape.

Avon barksdale Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 The only positives this season so far for me are Dawson and Thornley, both far from the finished article but seem a good 7/10 each game I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no information from the manager or club you have to assume the same applies. Either we have the worse players in the league over the last few season or all these bad eggs are in fact not the problem. Its for different people to decide which side of the issues you fall on, me personally i do not believe £200,000 a week in players are not playing because they are over 30 and we are looking to the future.

A bit like with Jos. Quite a few have made their mind up about him but not looking at the whole picture unfortunately. This site is just full of bashers, I couldnt say the other word as it would have deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the valuation is based on potential as he is a £500k keeper at best and would not be first choice at a championship level team currently. I think you’ll find he is first choice at a championship club currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved Westwood bailing us out and weekly heroics under Stu and Carlos first season, but unfortunately he'd always been very injury prone, the main reason we managed to get him in the predicament we were in at the time having no cash meaning taking a chance on him. Been a great player for us, but I fear the injuries have probably cought up with him which is why jos is going with cammy, young, fit, agile and Dosent get injured. The sooner some okn here realise this the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
