ozzieowl Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Don’t care what anyone says he needs to be dropped like Westwood was. Westwood didn’t drop clangers like Dawson has like today and QPR and got dropped. QPR one luckily we got away with it but quite easily could have knocked us out of cup if wasn’t two up. Today Fessi held player off so ball could go in area for him to pick up and he goes n spoons it. His overall kicking is diabolical. Times he kicks straight out. Times he hoofs it to no one. Had plenty time on ball then kicked it straight to smallest man on pitch. What’s point in that. For me he’s not right man goin forward n stuck with him for four years now. Hes so frustrating.

Lombardo Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I was worried every time the ball went back. Surely any keeper should be able to do simple kicks down the wing. poor FF didn’t know whether to stick or twist as Cammy never gave him any option. A simple header back would have done.

ANDY Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Dawson has at least 1 major mistake per game in him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzieowl Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Yes I was nervous with the bobbly pitch. Two recent wee wee tail ups with clearances has to be questioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats annoying me is Westwood would get absolutely slated for this. Got dropped for far less and lost his shirt since. Obv didn’t want be number 2 over Xmas period n now fell out completely. On supposedly 30k a week wasted. Commands defence far better too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) He’s the future. But Westwood is our best keeper for now, so should be the first name on the team sheet. Monk is making the same mistakes as Jos. Fan power will get him sacked if he wants to play that “I know better than you” game, whilst his team throws points away every week.

big_al1985 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I like him as a keeper and fellow owl... however, and this is a dig at most keepers including Westwood, not being able to kick should be a sackable offence. It absolutely does my head in, you've 12 hours a day you lazy sods, just practice practice practice, it's not like it involves running when you should be resting. I hate footballers.

ozzieowl Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Who was that keeper we had on loan that kicked it like sidewards n picked a player out stood on sideline. Was quality. Was it Martinez from arsenal??? thats what they should practice. dawson is horrendous. Width of pitch n kicks straight out. Messed up for goal n then that second half when punched out n carried on trying tackle player. If they had scored there would have been a proper melt down. Got to be dropped. He’s not the answer.

Mr Farrell Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 You can't carry a keeper who makes schoolboy errors and gifts goals. It undermines everything. Hate to say it, but Cockwomble Westwood has to come back until we bring in a loan replacement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzieowl Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 I don’t think monk will drop him I’m afraid. Hes obv fell out with Westwood. He will back him cos he’s been licking his ass lately n we signed him up another four friggin years. At least one mistake every game he’s gonna really cost us vital points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can either kick the ball naturally or you can't. He can't and never will. It's not something you learn. Coupled with this is his nervous temperament. The back 4 will be nervous if the keeper is, this happens in every team. The back 4 were very nervous today. With the goal he could have done one of two things: high into the stands or take a short touch out wide and play the ball (he's left footed)...but he just panicked and always does. This is all in his head, he doesn't have a match day temperament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poite Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I'm not fussed. Next game he'll make a couple of good saves and the fans will be demanding an extra 2 years to his current 4 year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcityowlsfan Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Still number 3 keeper for me and he’s never convinced me otherwise. Nobody is asking for a sweeper keeper at this level but you have to be able to kick it long or into touch depending on the circumstances. He’s costing us goals and still looks suspect on crosses. Perhaps there is a clash of personalities with Westwood and the coaching staff but he’s still the best keeper on the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the question has to be why didn't Joss play him and why isnt Monk playing him? Are they the same reasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonbones Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 We've gone from having three great keepers to having three poor players in under a season? Westwood was poor and was rightly *cough* injured. I'm not quite sure what the answer is, but someone should start working on Dawson for these situations sharpish. He hates being rushed and is poor at kicking - both things can be drilled. If he wants to prove he deserved that contract, he should be putting some extra effort in training - and our coaches should be addressing his shortcomings.

Ian Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Lad has obviously made a mistake today and as folk say, cost us a goal.......That’s the life of a keeper.......Lees and Borner have made 20 each that didn’t lead to a goal and all this “he makes the back 4 nervous”.......what a load of rubbish......that back 4 today have played over 1000 senior games between them and yet it’s down to the keeper in his first season as first choice to give them confidence.....really.....how much confidence do you think you’d have playing behind Lees and Borner today? As a team we gave Dawson at least half a dozen back passes today on a bubbly pitch with forwards breathing down his neck.....5 out of six he gets us out of trouble.. When a keeper is banging a ball 70 yards down the pitch it’s not all about “picking someone out”.....most of the outfield players can’t do that....forwards have enough time to make sure they are on the end of them As far as costing us goals.....he’s got some far way to go yet to catch up with Westwood this season......and If anyone is thinking of dropping Dawson then Wildsmith is the one to come in....it would be a travesty and send completely the wrong message to the changing room if Westwood comes back in after not being on the bench Edited February 8, 2020 by Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
