the monk Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 He kicks a ball like the non footballing kid at school Last week he had a simple punt down the field to make and he managed to spoon it straight up in the air Is will bite us on the Harris one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debram Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Hope that kick doesn't affect his confidence, didn't really affect the game so should easily be forgot, overall he's doing a fine job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What on earth are you on about......the only reason he (and most others) ever kicks it out of his hands is due to the presence of an opposition player around him.......are you suggesting that he should still drop the ball to the floor irrespective of the situation?

Most of the time at Hillsborough he often struggles to get much beyond halfway and rarely goes within 10 yards of his intended target. Not only is your, struggles to get past the halfway line comment complete fiction, I’d love to know how you know what his intended target is? to me it often looks like he is told to aim wide....Fletcher, Winnall and quite often Fox seem to be the intended targets and will take up a position out wide, in which case the target area is quite small im pretty sure that he could smash 10/10 kicks straight down the middle of the pitch well over the halfway line if needed,,,,,but that’s not what is required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something I've noticed when trying to judge his kicking distance. By that logic, a standard edge of the box "HOOF" is landing somewhere about halfway between the opposition D (oo-er) and edge of centre circle in their half. Equally, most of his goalkicks to the halfway line end up bouncing just pretty much on the halfway line. If you think about the distance the ball traveled being reduced because of the angle... again, his kick is hitting the opponent's edge of the centre circle. I don't get this idea where people say his kicking doesn't go far. As for his consistency from goalkicks at least landing within a 10-12 yard square on the pitch... again, at the very least his kicking from when he's set and ready is very good. Surely?

Guest Grez Bez Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Dawsons poor kicking is one of those Owlstalk myths that somebody posts once then it's taken as gospel by people who can't use their own eyes. Things change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miffed Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Maybe our outfield players should stop passing it back to Dawson so many times when it’s completely unnecessary and actually take some responsibility on the ball themselves. Im not suggesting that was to blame for the goal last night but we seem to play it back to the keeper so many times... it’s frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets be honest Wildsmith did look the better prospect not that long ago. He may still be but at the moment Dawson’s got the shirt. I still think regardless of everything that’s going off, if we are serious about a promotion push anytime soon neither Dawson or Wildsmith are the answer as both will cost us crucial points as they learn the game. And before anyone starts I know Westwood hasn’t been at his best this season but you’d back us more to finish Top 6 with Westwood in the side rather than Dawson or Wildsmith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 He played fine last night, was confident in his catching and made some decent routine saves. In this day and age of not been able to pick up the ball its only a question of time before you mistime a pass and you give away a goal, happens to the very best of goalkeepers. Hope that the management team don't dwell on it and that Dawson doesn't either. Not worth worrying about or to use against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah the old of they’re not in the side they must be better than what we have argument. You must have missed the Swansea, West Brom, Fulham, Millwall, Blackburn and reading matches.

Once again another clever tw@t reading something into one of my posts that’s not really there. All I’m saying is Westwood is a proven goalkeeper who has been part of a side that’s finished in the the Top 6 twice. Has Dawson? No. So once again one of the many experts on here is what? No? Never? WRONG Oh and you use the Blackburn game as an example. Didn’t we get d!ck5d 5-0 with Dawson in goal?

I mean, as has been commented on a few times on here, he completely changed his kicking style in the game last night, if his kicking wasn't an issue, why would he even contemplate doing that?
