I think he got to a stage where he realised the fans had turned and he wasn't going to get backed so he intentionally tried everything to get sacked, problem was it took DC an age to take the sunglasses off.

No idea what's happened between him and Monk, but something has or he'd be on the bench. So lets make summat up. Monk pinched his snap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myHero Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I'm not inclined to think it's all down to Westwoods "attitude", what ever that might be. He always seems 110% committed on the pitch, but he's not been great with his distribution (Slowing down play) and crosses this season. On the plus side Westwood is always very vocal on the pitch, which is something we lack generally. I think Westwood's main problem is other clubs are after Dawson, and if we're serious about building a proper team at Wednesday then Dawson is a player we've got to keep hold of. And we've got to offer him first team football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't accept that Westwood needs to prove himself in training to reclaim no2 spot from Wildsmith. Westwood will probably be starting on Friday.

Isn’t that how it is ? . I’m not convinced he is refusing not till I hear it from him . As good as Dawson has been he clearly needs work on his distribution and composure with the ball at his feet when under pressure he looks nervous to me but he is otherwise a decent keeper . Yes because Westwood distribution is Allisonesque isn’t it......as for looking nervous under pressure, he’s the most 2 footed player we’ve got in the entire squad...a nice attribute to have when supposedly under pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got two young players who are good enough to be in the first team, and a Senior Pro who isn't guaranteed to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think saying he intentionally did things wrong to get the sack is probably a bit of a stretch but do think Jos knew it wasn't working out a few weeks before he went and wasn't really bothered last few games and just hanging around for his pay off.

I'm not really sure where his being not ‘really bothered’ comes from as his low-key demeanour was pretty much the same throughout his year with us. And even in those last five games, we actually took the lead in 4 of them, not to mention the fact that he kept trying different formations to see what would click right up to the end. It was desperate rather than disinterested (dropping Hector for his last game in charge, for example). The confidence of the players was wafer-thin and that's something managers are undoubtedly responsible for, so that Luhukay was failing at that point was clear. It seemed we were still motivated to win games, but only so long as the opposition would meet us more than half-way (that is, be having on off-day); as soon we'd come under any sort of pressure we'd crumble. That was then though. Not much more than a year ago and yet with many of the same players as we have now it's not surprising to see the same mentality within the team always just beneath the surface.

Either put an arm round them, give them a good kicking or ship them out. In part yes. However when a player has a tantrum for the same reason under 3 different manager's think the player or his agent should look at themselves.

Quite agree that players should be professional but in the real world if one of your players is a prima donna and he can justify it then you have to work around him. Soon as he can't justify it you ship them out if they won't conform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
