WhiteOwl91 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Just now, @owlstalk said: Why hasn't that applied to Wildsmith who has just kept 2 clean sheets on the trot and not put a foot wrong? Because its a new manager who has his own ideas. He's going to want to come in and do what he thinks from the get go, rather than just play someone because they'd be doing ok before he arrived. The same way some new owners generally pick their own new manager straight away regardless of how the current one is doing. Not suggesting I didn't think it was a bold decision to throw him straight in over Wildsmith, who i thought it was harsh to drop at the start of this season for Dawson if im honest. But the new manager has to do what he thinks is right from the get go, not stick with decisions the previous manager made if he doesnt agree with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't look at the bench today and think theres an awful lot screaming to change if im honest, Rhodes aside potentially, but I think it highlights we havent a great deal of quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager picks his best goalkeeper. TP’s best goalkeeper isn’t Monk’s best goalkeeper obvs. Not that even Monk knew who his best goalkeeper was. He did know what a successful dressing room looked like though. Presumably he had photos of it from his visit to Anfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well So long as Pulis knows what he's doing, picking a player who'd not played a game in a full year after being dropped for multiple clangers, and then played Paterson in midfield Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc_Degryse Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 This thread is pointless - it wouldn't have mattered who was in goal today. In fact it was miraculous that we only conceded one goal with ten men for 73 minutes, does anyone honestly expect any of our keepers would go through 90 minutes without making one slight error? But sure, let's just go for some petty points scoring rather than pull together during dark times eh? It's the Wednesday way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westwood made a good clearance, the return would not happen ninety five times out of a hundred. Try harder to hate. Nobody around him, poor decision to punch.

Rodger Wylde Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Poor punch, accepted. But has anyone mentioned the two admiring statues stood three yards in front of him or Reach who plodded alongside him then threw his arms up after it had gone in to mask his own embarrassment? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more than if Westwood had put in match winning performance Pulis would not be getting the credit. But I totally agree with your first points, to pick him when he’s not played a competitive game for a year seems rash. Will do nothing for the mood of the other keepers.

@owlstalk Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Just watching their goal again over and over and pausing it Can anyone see in the video where Westwood 'slipped' because I sure as hell can't Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kew Owl Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 It was a courageous decision to bring Westwood back, given that TP has only had a few days to assess all 3 goalkeepers. Unfortunately it’s looking like he might have made the wrong call - but let’s see what happens in the next half dozen or so games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd just recovered from when the video above starts. Without the slip I'm sure he catches it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
