Ian Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 1 hour ago, Lawrie’s Left Peg said: 6 – Chris Woods Woods often found himself the second choice to the brilliant Peter Shilton in his international career, but that didn’t stop him from making a name for himself as a great keeper. He played sporadically for England from his debut in 1985 until 1992, when he was selected to be the first choice keeper at that year’s European Championships. Woods succeeded Shilton despite stiff competition from the promising David Seaman. At the 1992 Euros Woods kept two clean sheets, but despite his strong performances England were unable to score until the final group game, which they lost to Sweden 2-1, knocking them out of the tournament. In Woods’ international career he kept 26 clean sheets, the fifth best of any England keeper, and accumulated 43 caps. I don’t give a sh*t how he played for England....here’s similar write up for his time with us Woods was always hampered playing for Wednesday due to the strong short stretch of elastic he had attached between him and the goal posts making leaving his line almost impossible. despite being an England international he made monumental errors in big games......in the 1993 he single handedly won Arsenal the FA Cup when instead of throwing his cap of a routine header from Linnigan that was straight at his chest he decided to bend him knees, turn himself in to a subbuteo esq keeper and palm it in to the roof of the net. Around that time Wednesday would have won the league had they not had the double done over them by Sheffield Unitednwoth Woods culpable for losses in both games showing a complete lack of bottle and ability to keep his legs together Absolute sh*te for Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sat at the Leppings Lane end of the South Stand. Amazing save prior to the corner and was fouled clearly for the equaliser. However Dawson must be pushing. Been flawless when he's played this season... I'll take that back, seen replay for the first time. Westwood's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Tbf, if Dawson had made those mistakes, he would be getting absolute slated on here by the usual lot. A keeper of Westwood's quality shouldn't be fumbling one, let alone two relatively tame corners. He cost us today, though the complete and utter panic of the team as a whole didn't help things. Suppose that is the time when you are looking for your senior, most experienced players (Westwood, Lees etc) to set the tone and calm things down. Needless to say, that didn't happen.

Emerson Thome Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I still reckon the defender charging in on the final corner would be given as a foul most weeks. But agreed an awful error for the first goal and for the last corner, he should still be getting a piece of it, regardless or not of whether there's a foul. Considering Dawson played well against Stoke and kept a clean sheet, he owe's Monk big time for keeping the shirt. Another performance like that and its time to give Dawson a chance, in my opinion.

4evaowl Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Real mixed day for him today. Two excellent saves in the second half but both goals he was at fault for. Who’d be a goalkeeper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawson is a great shot stopper, but gets abuse for not being commanding. Well Westwood has hardly been the most commanding figure recently and flapped at two corners today which resulted in goals. Why does he not get the same treatment? It’s all well and good making top saves, but I start to get worried when I see keepers struggling with the basic stuff.

DobbinTheDonkey Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Looked like keeper coming back down the peak. Some excellent stuff but some woeful stuff, it's time, but we need a new keeper. However scorer of the second goal does not get marked at all and basically gets a free run on the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is a bit sad seeing a really top class player wane a bit with age. He is still our best keeper but there isn’t the gulf between him and Dawson now that there was. I suppose that’s how is should be as Dawson gets better and Westwoood gets older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westwood is still very much one of the best goalkeepers in the league. A lot of fans have incredibly short memories. And a lot of fans don't know when it's time to move on. Basic errors today cost us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Why are we arguing about Chris Woods? Anyway...I don't think you drop Westwood yet. However, I think if he has another game like that, then perhaps it is time to give Cameron his shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawson would have been hanged drawn and quarted on here and never wanted to play again by some on here. I'm not sentimental and I have no favourites, I just want to see us win games.

Would never say any Owls fans are idiots but It really frustrates me that some feel everyone is either “world class” or “w4nk” , the best ever or the worst ever. The facts might be boring but carry far more weight than the gut feeling or bitter ranting of some of our OT “experts”. But in the end....... ......
