Honestly I starting to wonder what the hell Monk is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you aren’t counting the one immediately prior to the first goal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about we stop giving him knee high bouncing back passes then.....he makes a better job of them than Bannan and Forestieri do taking corners under absolutely no pressure at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzieowl Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Usually as fans we take to our own players even if not the best u will them on to get better. But With Dawson I’ve never really took to him. His whole body language seems wrong. He strolls about like not care in the world. Walks to fetch ball. Walks to kick it. Can’t kick it. Soooo slow. Like a cardboard cut out. When hekicks a moving ball he get under it like a sand wedge n spins it up high. When goal kick he either kicks it out of play or kicks aimlessly anywhere. if by chance he tries aim foe someone it’s usuall Barry or today Fessi. Smallest ont pitch. His reactions at shots low are so slow he dives seconds late and lets majority of low shots on target to his sides in. Doesnt seem like a keeper, like kids at school who gets picked last so has to go in net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That aside, kicking under pressure is a basic attribute that modern keepers need to be reasonably competent at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Btw, was a left footed cross moving away from goal...never a shot on target. More biased fakery to blindly support Dawson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrosbyKitchens Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 He's not good enough. Neither are Palmer, Lees, Pelupessy, Harris, De Cruz..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHERSTATE Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 This is like a carbon copy of the Jos situation. Like he is under instruction to play him and get him ready as our future number one. See in theory this is a good idea. But Dawson still doesn't look ready for the pressures this brings. Who knows if Westwood has been a tw@t or not. We've got to be ready to sell him at the moment and cutting wages. It's just at the moment this plan is not working. Got nothing to lose by giving Wildsmith a go and think about somehow think about getting a new keeper if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve said from the minute Westwood was dropped that Dawson wasn’t good enough and I got hammered on here.

Not technically a shot but half decent keeping that. Made one other good save after Lees was embarrassed. Apart from that his performance was as usual abysmal. I’ve never seen a keeper nutmegged TWICE in one game. He’s nowhere near good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat blondeau Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I’ve heard people say on here Dawson is a good shot stopper. Some of the recent games: Brentford 6 shots on target, 5 goals conceded Derby 5 shots on target, 3 goals conceded Birmingham 4 shots on target, 3 goals conceded Reading 5 shots on target, 3 goals conceded Wigan 5 shots on target, 2 goals conceded Blackburn 9 shots on target, 5 goals conceded Compare that to Wildsmith on Wednesday night where Man City had 9 shots on target and we only conceded once. A keeper’s primary job is saving the ball when it’s going in the goal and Dawson is not doing very well at that. I’m not sure Wildsmith is the answer either but he has to be given a run in the team if Westwood remains banished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
