Used to be regular debates in here about who was the best prospect and there weren’t many of us that said Dawson Keep it up Cameron I was always stunned people saw Wildsmith as anywhere close to Dawson, never mind potentially better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOwl Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 (Oh look, it's StudentOwl being controversial... how original) I think we'd have more points on the board if Dawson had been first choice all season vs Westwood. Purely IMO and definitely unprovable either way... but when I reflect on the penalties given away and the red cards that Westwood has done... I dunno. Keiren makes the highlight reel saves I suppose that might even it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonbones Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Disagree that we'd have more points on the board but that's a negligible decision, you may be right. I still think Westwood is the better keeper, but he's coming down from his apex, and Dawson is climbing it - for that reason only I'd say stay with Dawson. Actually I have another reason, we don't want him to leave on a free. the only way he's signing a new contract in reality is with game time, and a lot of it.

sweetsheri Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I like how he doesn’t talk to the whole defence, referee and Lino before taking a goal kick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodwickOwl Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I’m happy with Dawson but if he makes one mistake we must drop him and bring in Westwood If Westwood then makes a mistake then I will turn on him and he must then be dropped and Dawson back in Whoever is in net at kick off is my favourite keeper until they make a mistake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 He’s had a new found confidence/swagger about him the last few weeks. Think he’ll be out number one for years to come, even in the PL (should we get there) as he’ll get even better. one of our own, you love to see it.

outlaw pete Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 To be fair we have all seen how well Cameron Dawson has done this season. But so will the EPL and the rest of the Championship even Glasgow Rangers are reported to have been watching him and with contract running out decisions will have to be made about offering him a new contract or lose him...

Yep, Dawson needs to be playing here otherwise he will be off , this isn’t just a lad who may or may not be good enough Wildsmith I dunno, needs some competitive games under his belt again and see how he’s looking, he had potential on par with Dawson but he probably needs a loan now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Nicked this from @trumbullowl in his excellent Teamsheets thread. Dawson’s 8 starts this season:- W5. D3. L0. Only 5 goals conceded. For a young keeper this must be doing his confidence no end of good. Also worth thinking about some of those meagre 5 goals he has conceded. The Derby pen, the Cardiff Flint Windmill (thanks Ref) and the Charlton wicked defection then post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteOwl91 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I really wish everything would stop being so extreme Westwood had a poor start by his standards, so hes 'finished, over the hill' etc. Dawson had some good games, some where hes had to do relatively little and 'hes 100% number one now, no way Westwood can get back in' Now wait for a mistake from Dawson and it'll be 'Get Westwood back in, he's class Dawson isnt fit to lace his boots'. The reality isn't any of the above really. Westwood is quality, had a poor start, Dawson is promising and having a good patch. Just let them fight it out and enjoy the fact we have 2 very capable keepers at this football club (thats not including JW) and either way whoever is in net, we can have every confidence in them.

The perfect ending would be to see Cammy overtake Westwood, lets not make it a negative. Also lets not underestimate Westy's contribution to the development of Dawson. Yeah, he really helped last year when he was stirring up stuff on social media based on a video game ranking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sMacLean Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Dawson should stay as No.1 now. Westwood too lightweight against the more physical sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treating our senior players like dirt proved to be the wrong decision and cost Jos his job, obviously you think he was right to freeze out Westy and Hutch etc. I think you will find you are on your own with that opinion. Results also prove you wrong and I understand why Westwood was frustrated. But keep hating on one of the best Keepers we have had at the club for decades, great support.
