No, it means we continue to pay him £30k a week for nothing, maybe a little training session with the under 23's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Does that mean Dawson is working on his distribution as his kicking last season was awful. Look Westwood not playing is down to manager choice and I think fans are too quick to label them trouble makers when it pretty clear Monk does not want to play him. But if Monk wont play him it helps no one to have a player on a silly wage still at the club, he needs to be sold, contract terminate by mutual or loan out and any payment towards his wages is better than us paying all of his wages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Westwood should walk in to Monks office and tell him that he is available to play and if not picked will be only too happy to pass on his experience and knowledge to the other keepers at the club. Monk should then agree to this and tell Westwood that the only reason he will pick player is if he feels he is the best one available to fulfill that role. A bit of professionalism and honesty from all sides wouldn't go amiss. Confident that they have it in spades. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest domSWFC Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I saw the clips of the keepers training before and thought we were having Van Akan in the net. Thankfully it's just a youth keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday looking to ship Van Aken out, and suddenly we also get a new goalkeeper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmJimmers Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Liked that, the goalkeeping training I always find interesting for some reason. The tools they use to mimic deflections etc, how it's so based on reaction times. Looked like a happy bunch, Dawson seemed to be the one taking the lead a bit. Interesting to see Render as well getting some training in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pressman 1 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Both Dawson and wildsmith were poor last season, but Westwood is no longer part of the team they need to push on now and make the no. 1 spot there own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should knock first. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or my preference, Sack Monk and get a manager in who can handle players. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticky belly Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Really nervous about the goalkeeping situation going into this season. Dawson and Wildsmith are not up to the required standard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Let’s hope by some miracle both have massively improved since the season ended because imo neither are good enough to be number 1 here. Would love us to sign a new number one and send one of Wildsmith or Dawson out on loan. We need a strong keeper, a leader, someone that gives the players in front of him confidence. Neither of those 2 posses that imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look Monk gets our support as the chairman has kept him, but equally the chairman needs to make the fund available to get new players in and support his manager. Having only signed 3 players of a likely 7 or 8 that we need with 8 days till the first game of the season and 15 days until the league starts is simply not acceptable for a team needing to get 12 points just to start the season. But I remember reading a story about Bruce last season he had a high profile fall out with Saint Maximin but he didn't let his own feeling affect the team and played his strongest team and his goals and performance helped the team comfortably stay up. Can you imaging Westwood did play and helped us get another 5 points in the bag, the EFL take the 12 points off us last season, we stay up by a point and start this season on 0 instead of -12. Because as I said, god knows how many times they wanted us to get enough to stay up with a deduction, its just Monk and his team that could only amass 8 points from 27 on offer.

This is exactly my point above, Bruce who is a good manager shows how to handle issues, and Monk who is a poor manager doesn't. And that is exactly what i think would have happened last year and Westwood and Hutch played we would have got enough points to have the deduction last year. I will back the team next year as i always do but i wont be backing Monk i really do think we will not progress until he has gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
