Played really well tonight on crosses/corners, if we hadnt have been 2 up he wouldve been hounded for this one mistake. Happy to forget it. Definitely not a disaster if Westwood was taken off payroll. Last minutes aside. I actually think that’s the most assured he’s been for us.

Saw him come for several corners and dealt with everyone at ease, this gives the back 4 such reassurance. Then came for a difficult whipped in cross, start of 2nd half that he claimed about 10 yards out. At Leeds away, in a strong wind, he experimented with a half volley distribution, which he then did again against Blackburn last week. All points to a keeper who is growing and evolving with experience. He's doing OK and deserves his chance as number one but that goal sums up his kicking as a whole, he needs to keep experimenting and working on it because it is pretty woeful most of the time.

He kicked a couple out of touch down the right in 2nd half which frustrated people as it gave them the ball back but yeah, its minor. Even in defeat hes dependable where i think he would previously flap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendaryswan Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 The gloves are his to lose now,hes grown into the role as the seasons progressed,he can improve his kicking,any sport is about focus on your weakspots and improving. Some credit must go to Westwood here as hes worked with Cammy and passed on his knowledge which is great to hear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His kicking off the ground is generally pretty poor too, sounds like it was generally better tonight but you can't ignore the goal just because it didn't end up affecting the result.

Guest Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 3 minutes ago, A12owl said: I thought most of his kicking is good and he gets a good distance and usually down the middle for our advance man to get on to. He knows what he did wrong tonight with the late kick and will learn from it. Got no qualms about him staying as our No1 keeper. Presumably its Monks instructions but i like the fact that there is rarely any faffing playing out of the back. Get it it up the field and it puts pressure on the other team. Are you on about tonight or in general? Most of the time at Hillsborough he often struggles to get much beyond halfway and rarely goes within 10 yards of his intended target.

His kicking is definitely a weak point in his game. They’re obviously trying to simplify it for him with the drop-kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does the basics very well and is turning into a solid keeper. If we keep the Westwood comparison out of this and judge Dawson just on how he’s done this season, then the answer is he’s done very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly a young lad, only a couple of years younger than Reach, Odubajo and Fox It’s why he now has to be playing.

Swiss Toni Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 9 hours ago, S1Owl said: Like the idea of rotating keepers, no permanent number 1. Dawson a few weeks then Westwood a few weeks or game by game. Keeps them on their toes You make it sound so simple. I wouldn't want to be in a defence where you're constantly changing keeper. We need consistency for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Starling Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I thought he commanded his box well tonight. Looked confident on crosses into the box. Just a shame about their goal but for me he keeps improving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookieisdown Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Both our keepers struggle on distribution. But the issue is not so much with the keepers as with the team. The keeper can kick long into their half, sure, but by and large we have ceded possession. I don't mind that so much when I go to watch Matlock Town but we need something a little more creative in the Championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Starting to look like a proper grown up goalkeeper instead of a stand in. Impressed how he's improved commanding his area. Mistake aside, looked comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
