A very bizarre decision indeed hector played at QPR when we lost 3-0 ...he was at fault for 2 goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can now forget about Westwood he wont play for us again, think Wildsmith will get the nod, lets hope the defence is on top form as well Really Westwood had 17 clean sheets 2 season on the trot with Lees and Loovens, Hector barely played with him last season because we had Jos the dross for half of it. Defenses are about the back 5 being a unit, the keeper commands is box and marshals the defence and the player in front of him play better if they have the confidence if the attacker should get through, the keeper will have a better than good chance of saving it. The thing is with Dawson and Wildsmith in goal, you could get a good save, but you could also get a fumble, or a scuffed kick to the attacker, or they could completely miss the save and concede a goal, I lost track of the amount of games last season when Dawson and Wildsmith dived after the ball had past them, or was hit into the corner and they didn't get across to cover it. Look Westwood will never play under Monk, but trying to diminish what Westwood has given us over his time here is simple not on, when in the team and being allowed to play, for 5 years he was the rock at the back for us and probably was net 15-20 points a season for us. Yes he has got older it happens to us all, but in my eyes he is still the most consistent keeper we have at the club currently and with the team we now have which consists of 1 striker, who scored in 1 out of 46 games last season, we are going to need every clean sheet we can get, because we are not going to be scoring many goals with the midfield we have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lost all credibility with your 15-20 points a season quote. even at 15 points that means there were 5 games that we won by the odd goal where Westwood single handedly stopped the opposition scoring at least 2 goals on that game that no other keeper would have done.

Guest wilyfox Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 The whining continues.. Does the Westwood debate really need to rumble on into the new season? Regardless of opinion on his current ability, Westy has been frozen out twice and now dumped in the 23s. He won't be brought back into the group, that much is clear. Best to just accept and let it go. Hopefully he can reach an agreement and move on because no-one gains from his current predicament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to you At present It can only be one of the two who we play, Westwood is nearly 36 and hasn't played a competitive game for 16 months so it can't be said with any certainty he is the best, it can only be said he was the best. No one knows what he is like now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KW would be near the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never injured always gives 100% and hasn’t been banished from the first team squad twice. Westwood is done at SWFC time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauchief Owl Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) Blackburn have signed another keeper, Thomas Kaminski from Gent, so clearly don't think Westwood going there. Edited August 26, 2020 by Beauchief Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grandad Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 If I was Westwood - having negotiated my own transfer to Huddersfield after being frozen out by Jos - only to have that hit the brakes due to Wednesday changing their demands - and then given a new deal again for 2 years to then be frozen out after just 14 games - I think I'd be tempted to look at the fact I'm 35, my £30k a week contract and think "Ah well, they've just give me £3m for 14 games - I don't owe em anything cos they've massively messed me about, I'll sit things out here" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
