Mr Farrell Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 As average as a keeper can be. A long way from being our biggest concern. Not a problem though, as we have the highest paid keeper in the division on our books for another year. Well run club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Starling Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Funny what 8 months does to the memory but to refresh Westwood was playing 5hite before he was rightly dropped. He didn't show much team spirit by feigning injury so he didn't have to sit on the bench. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 Keeper lets in 5 goals Badly positioned Lets in a goal at his front post (again) Let's a goal in through his legs And MrBlueSky wants to knight him and put up a bronze statue in his honour for an outstanding performance Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 He’s had a bad game today but he should keep his place as Dawson has produced clanger after clanger since Christmas until lockdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hindsight is a great thing, if he rushes out, just maybe he would have made it just as easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as easy? Remind me how it went with him not making a challenge for the ball... Oh yeah... GOAL So you're suggesting if he comes out and makes it harder for the striker it would be 'just as easy'??? Lovely logic Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair comment, I said at the time I didn't expect to see him on the bench too often and it is disappointing that it has transpired that way. But at what point do you as a manager or a club have to sit down and clear the air, either to get the player out the door completely or to get him back on side? Yes he was not at his best by his standards but if he deserved to be dropped for his form then Dawson and Wildsmith shouldn't be playing either as they have been worse and aren't able to command the defensive line at all. It isn't just pure coincidence that we didn't concede 3, 4 or 5 on a regular basis when he was in goal. He didn't concede more than 2 in any of his games this season.

Yeah I particularly like how he looks at the photo showing Wildsmith totally out of position as the striker approaches, with a wide open goal, and says there's nothing at all wrong with his positioning That's the highlight so far It's almost like he doesn't realise that everyone saw Wildsmith's performance for themself Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildsmith seems to get beat by distance but he doesn’t drop the clangers that Dawson does. We probably need to bring a new number one in next season. Apparently Darlow at Newcastle is looking for first team football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
