vulva Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 The decision to play Westwood today was all about Pulis making a ‘I’m in charge now’ statement rather than a sensible one to continue with Wildsmith. Westwood is a better keeper but he should have had 2 or 3 games with the under 23’s first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshTheOwl Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Westwood should have taken that with ease. Even if he had spilled it, it would have resulted in a free kick with the on rushing striker. poor from Westwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howards back Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 2 hours ago, WhiteOwl91 said: Given he hasn’t played for a year you’ve got to give him 5+ games and just expect there will be some rust in there. If he’s still making mistakes after 5-10 games then fair enough, but both Dawson and Wildsmith have had opportunity to establish themselves as number 1 and neither of them have. Those 5+ games should be away from the first team to get rid of the rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe so, but I’d suggest the fact he isn’t doing that says more about the other 2 keepers than Westwood unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark77 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Watch Liam Palmer from the moment the cross comes in, through the punch, to the shot going in. Never moves off the spot. Awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 The whole passage of play was crap. We only found ourselves in that position because of some lousy attempts at clearing the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I can’t really justify getting on Westwood’s back just yet, Dawson screwed up repeatedly on a large scale, we had faith and he kept on putting in horror shows. That we have set up a thread over this punch to try and draw parallels seems a bit silly to me, when I saw it I had an ‘is that it??’ reaction.

@owlstalk Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Ultimately I don't blame Westwood for yesterday I blame Pulis for the decision to bring him back when we 100% know that Westwood drops massive blunders like this when selected Add that to the other reasons that he gets repeatedly banished by manager after manager both at club and international level and it was just a ridiculous call from Pulis that exploded right in his face Should have been Wildsmith yesterday and Westwood on the bench for many reasons, not least because Wildsmith is in form, and Westwood's not played for a full YEAR All those saying being out for a year isn't an issue would never go to a dentist or brain surgeon who'd been watching homes under the hammer for a year and be the first one in the hotseat under his knife Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor decision by Tony Pulis imo . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 It was a poor mistake and he was making mistakes last season too before getting dropped. The whole keeper situation has become an absolute circus. Pulis has pinned his colours to the Westwood mast with that decision yesterday. Let's hope it works out...

SiJ Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I mean, if Westwood makes some more mistakes then what? Wildsmith back in, having got demoted for not really doing anything wrong? Does Westwood sit on the bench or does he go AWOL again? I've said it a few times, but we really need to be looking at a new number 1 in the summer imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Westwood could make 100 mistakes and I still wouldn’t want Dawson back in He’s the better keeper overall and one mistake doesn’t change that 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
