WOW...simply WOW!!! 

 

You think your clever with words but your logic defies any sort of realism!!!

 

”that’s my final words on the subject”....who do you think you are? You absolute clown 

I'm a clown because I disagree with you and I no longer wish to argue with someone who's being repeatedly obstinate, calling me names, creating strawmen arguments out of what I'm saying, and unaccepting of my difference of opinion? What a pleasant person you are.

 

I think I'll go back to barely commenting on matchday again if it's this impossible to have a discussion with someone. I'm sure that'll make some, like yourself, reyt happy, but from my perspective it just isn't worth my time or energy.

 

I sincerely hope that you're entirely correct, and Westwood's involvement continues to see a tangible difference in the number of goals we concede. I suspect, however, that what you'll find at the end of the season is that Dawson was saving a comparable % of shots on our goal to Westwood... and it will become apparent that all the snippy comments and put-downs of our good young goalkeeper were extremely unwarranted, and our greater defensive prowess was as a result of not having Jos in charge.

Don’t forget Westwood’s evil stare that makes opponents’ knees turn to jelly.

No I think your a clown for how your trying to justify your opinion on how it’s hard to tell if Westwood has improved the side since his return, based on the fact he hasn’t faced as many shots!! WOW...my days. Serious question, have you watched the last 2 games? 

 

Its blatantly obvious what Westwood brings to the table and he’s the best keeper at the club end of, no discussion and no further argument.  

 

Based on on your argument/reasoning, every injured or exiled player who is out for longer than 6 months is finished.....Then the statement on David Hirst...hahahahahahaha. Give over now it’s hurting (all this laughing).

Your mans in...no hard feelings at 17:00. We will see a major difference and it’s nothing to do with the opposition!!

He did very well, and then blew it in the last minute unfortunately 

 

Flat ball, 6 years out, limited traffic. Rooted

Just been mate...I’m gutted

That clean sheet run soon came to a juddering halt when he who shall not be slagged got a shirt. Think we're at a crossroads. Flirt with relegation and play Dawson or get Westwood back, give him a new contract and challenge for top 6.

Dawson has made the second most saves of any goalkeeper in the division

What does that tell you? 

 

That he's made the 2nd most amount of saves in the division this season

 

Says nothing whatsoever about his quality as a player

 

Like any stat it's meaningless without context

As much as I prefer Westwood and have reservations about Dawson I don't think you can lay all our change in fortune at his door 

[jonesy87shef]

It’s not really a mistake, but small differences can maje a huge difference when it comes to points.

 

No doubt Jones makes a huge hash of it and will take the blame.

 

Look back to Westwood bs Preston though. Ball to edge of 6 yard box. Last minute Westwood comes and punches it clear of danger. Today similar ball. Dawson unfortunately rooted to his line. Just my opinion but I believe Westwood would have come and cleared the situation.

 

Just how I saw the situation anyway. We may well have lost if Westwood started, however this specific incident in a nutshell I think we’d have hung on for 3 points.

Tells me that the team as a whole haven't been protecting their keeper and because of this he's been exposed to more shots as a result. I still think Westwood is our best keeper but I think Dawson's a far better keeper than some on here espouse.

So Banksy, how do you think we'd have got on today without Dawson?.....because for whatever reason Westwood wasn't there.....and this is the big issue with Westwood...whatever his experience he's unavailable far too often, be that with a small injury that makes him go off in the middle of a game, not fancying games at Christmas, being psyched out pre match by opposition centre backs or just plain tired 

 

so the fact is, should any club continue with such a players then capable understudy's will soon move on and we'll be left with the likes of Tidman or Keen to fill in when the main keeper doesn't fancy it

Weve yet to see dawson, for any length of time, with an organised team infront of him. 

 

Like it or not, sooner or later Westwood wont be around anymore.

I understood Bullen took the decision to omit Westwood to protect him for the longer haul, conscious of the fact that Westwood hadn’t played much football recently.

 

Can someone confirm that please.

 

Thanks.

Well said sir! Dawson is also able to play 3 games a week which is more than our lord and saviour Westwood is capable of. Plays 2 games in which he did absolutely nothing and needs to rest. For me that's indefensible for a goal keeper, no matter how good he has been in the past.

Dawson requires 5 defenders every game, still can't keep clean sheets. We had 11 men behind the ball against sheff u and he was throwing himself of at keeping a clean sheet, if this is the standard we are setting then it's pathetic. 24 games with 5 defenders 2 clean sheets (one with 11 defenders). 2 clean sheets in 2 for Westwood with 4 defenders looking a lot more solid and another option up top. If people want to keep defending league 2 quality players then that's up to them

Avoiding the question....which isn't a surprise given you are making a very good claim to be the site idiot
