BIG D Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 No harm in having a look. There's no way an experienced manager like Pulis would come in and not ask about Westwood. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that Westwood hasn’t played consistently well since 2016/17 except perhaps for a short stint under Bruce. For almost 4 seasons now he’s either been injured, banished or performed poorly. If Pulis does start with him I don’t think we should expect too much. I can’t see us ever witnessing the Westwood of old. But Westwood at 90% is still our best option in my opinion. I wouldn’t say it was a short stint under Bruce, it was from December until May so about half a season. And his stats were as good as at any point between 2014-17. We won’t know whether he’s still got it until he plays. It’s Monks fault that he wasn’t brought back in when Dawson’s performance dropped just after Xmas last year. People use his age against him but he’s 36.. looks in good shape still and other keepers have played until 40ish. It’s the lack of match sharpness that’s the biggest issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't go to show anything It pretty much does.. if the issue was between the club and him then a change of manager wouldn’t make the blindest bit of difference to his situation and he’d still be sat at home. You even said this yourself on a loop saying he’ll never play for us again even if Monk is removed. Consistency please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toooldforthis Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 He's not registered as a 1st team player so he can't play until he is (January 2021) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can be registered now apparantly. No way Was Westwood dumped from squad on ability, for me way he was dealt with was a failing of monk / Jos. It's manager's job to manage different personalities / character's, way it has been dealt with including the fictitious phantom "injury" excuse is a sign of weak management, not something you can ever accuse pulis (or Bruce) of.

Ozymandias Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I’d take a Westwood playing catch up, marshalling the defence etc over Dawson and Wildsmith every day of the week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it really doesn’t just mean that. Look how many people posted BS about him being a bad egg and that he’ll never play again. People were saying it’s not even to do with his performances it’s something else.. implication being that the club won’t allow him to play. That’s blown out the water if a new manager picks him. Which lets be honest he will if he’s training as he’s head and shoulders above the other two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, Pulis probably dealt with that one early doors , can’t really see him allowing him to sit at home regardless of what’s gone on and wether he’s not available until January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulis is just doing what any manager would. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
