Overall, Dawson did well the games he played in. I was in favour of Westwood's recall for experience & leadership - but not with the mistakes he's making. It doesn't justify dropping Dawson when Westwood is costing us. I'm not saying he's done. I'm saying he needs dropping until he cuts out the errors.

He is a class act but his best days are seemingly behind him otherwise wouldn't he be selected? we can't cling on to the hope that Fessi is going to be our saviour and lead us glory? Otherwise it would have happened already no? A few sub appearances and a first team goal carries more weight than an U23 appearance surely?? Why do you think his best days are behind him? He’s not played this season mainly because of a stupid ban so I’m not sure how you can say this? ive not suggested he’s going to lead us to glory, I’ve simply said that he’s a better option that what we are currently doing because as things stand we are struggling to score goals and we are throwing points away.

Also it tends to be thrown in at the last minute from Westwood getting a twisted sock in the warm up before game. Not much time to mentally prepare.

frastheowl Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Article in the Star, quoting Fletcher, claiming Westwood was apologetic and held his hands up for yet another mistake. And it's good to hear, that Westwood is big enough to go in and apologise to the players he's let down. No issue with that whatsoever. I'd expect it from an experienced professional like him. But the keeper himself accepts his culpability, and we still have fans excusing him to the hilt, to the extent they are willing to throw a promising, more than capable deputy under the bus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 How many points westwood cost us this season .he been a good keeper over years but his time is up im afraid he is a liability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls Loyal Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I do hope that if Dawson comes in on Wednesday night a break might even do KW good and perhaps he will come back refreshed. The string of errors must be playing on his mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodwickOwl Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 Nobody is exempt from criticism. I imagine if Nuhui missed a penalty in the last minute he would've been ridiculed on here. Westwood's keeping this year has been dodgy, very dodgy - we have a young upcoming keeper who could be off at end of season, but we wanna keep hanging him out to dry.

Niggly injuries keep setting him back and he's what 29/30? He doesn't seem to get a consistent out via various means, inconsistent form, injuries, suspensions, etc .. impact from the bench seems to work at the minute. Will he recapture his former glory when he could turn the match in our favour in a split second, i'm not so sure ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently FF hardly broke sweat, and couldn’t look less interested if he tried. I'm not surprised he didn't look interested at Stocksbridge, he was playing at Hillsborough.

Cut out the individual errors in critical areas and we could or should have beat wba away. Another glass half empty fan. Not even Xmas yet and 3 wins would put is in the mix.

Ability wise I agree we would have been there and there abouts, HOWEVER we have a points deduction coming our way at some point and sadly that will leave us with to much to do this year. Best we can do is wipe the slate clean, clear the dead wood and start again in a sensible manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Confidence is vital for a keeper. Dawson must be taking great confidence from his few games this season. Barnsley, Stoke, Birmingham, Cardiff and Charlton - 3 wins and 2 draws, conceding only 3 goals in the five games. Its true not the hardest opponents, but the fact remains he and the team have been rock-solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
