cowl Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 It's clear from Pulis' words that Westwood will play once he's fit though. I suspect Wildsmith would have to play out of his skin and show the kind of form and ability he's hitherto failed to do for him to keep his place once Westwood's fit again.

Westwood would regularly be the difference between 3 points and 1, or 1 point and 0. That's what you need from your keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 It’s getting ridiculous now. There are certain posters who have such entrenched views that if we won every game and Westwood never conceded a goal they would find a reason to criticise pullis and Westwood. Time to let go of the past and start looking forward to hopefully better times. Let’s face it they can’t get any worse than 2020 has been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s face it they can’t get any worse than 2020 has been I'm honestly genuinely shocked that there are folk who can see Westwood letting goals in left right and centre, making mistakes, getting banished, getting injured again and and again and again and again and then keep crying that people might have an issue with that. And to say what you've just posted when Westwood has just dropped a gaffe that cost us a game and then gone off injured after ten minutes of the next match is beyond ridiculous. It's not at all that people's views are entrenched - it's simply that Westwood is doing things time and time and time and time and time again There has to come a time when someone is smashing you in the face repeatedly with a cricket bat that you start to realise that someone is smashing you in the face repeatedly with a cricket bat, and not to start trying to pick an argument with someone telling you that someone in smashing you in the face repeatedly with a cricket bat, Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sefton owl Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I actually think Pulis and his staff have to take the blame for this one. Was needlessly thrown in straight away having not played a single game all year. I think Wildsmith will do a decent job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowl Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Can any poster that doesn't recognize that Westwood made an error against Preston and was making errors in the lead-up to him getting dropped a year ago please come forward and identify themselves please. There seems to be a view that there's a number of these fans so it would be useful to know that they do actually exist (I'm not convinced they do).

Pulis and others have suggested he’s on of the best in the league, I reckon they know a tad more than you You play your best players. De Gea and Alison have both fumbled on occasion for United and Liverpool, have they been dropped? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'slipped' Aye... alreyt You do realise you just pointed out that in the last two games he's made a blunder that cost us the game, and then in the second went off injured? Isn't that what the Westwood critics are saying happens? I'm not sure why people are getting so confused about this Or even more bizarrely why they keep excusing his blunders, injuries and banishings - and then excusing his blunders, injuries and banishings when they happen again and again and again after that And then even more bizarrely why they keep excusing his blunders, injuries and banishings - and then excusing his blunders, injuries and banishings when they happen yet again 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowl Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Why are many fans keen to see Westwood given the chance to regain his form? Because all our current keepers have been making mistakes when called upon for 2 years now. There is no obvious alternative. But Westwood unlike the others has at least at one time been voted POTS twice and been in nets when we twice achieved our highest ever number of clean sheets in a season. Not to mention the countless MOTM awards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
