Mystic Neg Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Yes, time to get behind him, hope that Westwood helps him to improve dealing with crosses and we have a keeper that is more than good enough for the future. Not his fault Jos preferred him and time to embrace his potential. We are potentially 3 points better off for having him last 2 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Brilliant save and Dawson deserves credit. I’d be gutted if one of our lads missed a free header from 5 yards out like that though, either side of the keeper and it’s in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenitoCarbone Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Very good shot stopper, young Cam. Needs to be more commanding and confident on crosses in the box. Still young, though. Still time to make him a Wednesday legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMortimer Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Poor finish; he shouldn't have been given a chance, but that's not the goalkeeper's problem. Outstanding reactions and agility by Dawson to reach back so quickly and keep that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowl Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Dawson did save us, no doubt about it but his kicking was dreadful. He kicked into areas of the field where none of our players were so many times I was doing my nut. If he did kick near one of our players it was Bannan or Harris and usually they were up against a tall guy. His job is stopping goals but you would at least expect some competent kicking.

Beholder Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 3 minutes ago, the monk said: It did go to the side of the keeper, hence great save Agreed. I'd say that's a goal 8 times out of 10. It was Dawsons agility that kept it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBob Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Dawson is a capable keeper. But Westwood organises and is more vocal in doing so. Vocal isn't always better but the defenders know where they are with Westwood and where they stand (literally) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he deliberately aim for the right touchline? Tonight he was so consistent I’m actually thinking it might be tactical Surely hitting Adam Reach with a ball 7ft off the ground can’t be the policy though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Reach is better in the air than Harris. Must have thought Fletcher would have 2 men on him perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debram Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 MOTM for that save alone, his confidence will be sky high, give him the shirt Saturday even if Westwood fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Everyone knows my thoughts on Dawson but that save was absolutely superb and almost single-handedly won us the 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Great save. Guess we can thank him that it’s 3 points instead of 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan™ Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) I bet that Westwood has given away significantly more goals per minutes played than Dawson over the past 3 seasons. He's been a bit of a liability for a while to be honest. To be fair to Westwood though, he does seem to manage the defence better and we look more stable in general play when he's in goal, but I find it hard to blame Dawson for the outfield players not performing as well for him. It shouldn't be entirely his responsibility to get them playing confidently. Edited October 22, 2019 by Dan™ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) One shot on target tonight from Stoke and Dawson dealt with it very very well, stunning save. Have a feeling he will be tested a lot more on Saturday with shots and crosses in to the box. Edited October 22, 2019 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we’re talking about Dawson’s performance. That’s it. Go and post in the Dawson v Westwood thread if you can’t help yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
