Guest Andy W Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Westwood is probably the best keeper in the championship...Cameron Dawson is most definately not. What was Monk's problem with him...and why register Dawson and Wildsmith and not KW? Just another bizarre Monk decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 If Pulis manages to get Dunkley to walk unaided it will be two miracles in a week. I’ll be sold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another bizarre Monk decision must admit it was totally bizarre , what happens if wildsmith or dawson got injured? regards westwood i can assure you he is nowhere near the best keeper in the league he might have been 5years ago. i watch weds home and away and the keeping last season was the worst ive ever seen game after game in a season since i started watching weds in the early 80s . there are some who ive spoken to in the know what mention about the problems westwood causes and they didnt seem to be telling fibs ,im usually pretty good at sniffing out lies and b*ll.

Ethel The Tree Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 It's baffling I hadn't come across this EFL cap on player registrations before, so checked it out Apparently it was introduced in August to "help ease financial pressure on clubs" Also, this cap doesn't apply in cup competitions or to under-21s So then I see this from a Dom Howson article published today ... The 36-year-old doesn't currently have a squad number and wasn't registered in the Owl's squad when it was submitted to the EFL meaning he is ineligible to play, however the Owls are making a case to add Westwood, which would mean one of the current 25-man squad dropping out.

Could have still sold him regardless. I think it was more to make a point to him. So his agent maybe got a move for him so we could get him off the wage bill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel The Tree Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 What baffles me is we don't have 25 players aged 21 or over - even if you count Westwood, there are only 23 by my reckoning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You register the squad at the end of the window so it can’t be that because we knew he would be here until at least January as he was staying. Just smells of incompetence.. no harm in registering on the off chance you change manager. We must have known it was quite likely we would after the last 23 games of last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morepork Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) I have it on good authority that Neil has considered offering Westwood a contract. Understandable given that Westwood related threads make up 75% of traffic to OT ... Edited November 17, 2020 by Morepork 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't doubt it My point being, despite what Dom Howson says, we couldn't possibly have registered the full quota Are the EFL flexible when it comes to late additions? Well free agents can sign up outside of any transfer window so ... What's the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I always thought the transfer window was just for transferring player registrations between clubs which you need to play them. You can sign players outside the window but they can’t play until the window. He’s already registered as our player so I’d have thought it was straight forward. Us holding his registration and him being on the squad list are two different things though I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I like Westwood as a player. No idea what he has done to deserve his current standing in the squad (well, his place not in the squad as it were). Maybe he told Garry Monk his name was Sheffield rhyming slang I do wonder though if he will be any good when he comes back. In most positions across the park a lay off of this length would make playing professional sport very hard without some bedding in of some sort. I only ever played in goal at five a side so don’t really know how much is instinct/ experience and how much is really based on developing the understanding with your defenders and other teammates. Fingers crossed he’s even 75% at his best as even this is an upgrade on Dawson’s last few games before being dropped. Welcome back Kieron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
