Has any individual Wednesday player ever generated as many posts as KW in the past twelve months?

 


Good point


We should have a rule that he can only be discussed if he keeps a clean sheet and finishes the game without getting injured


That should shut people up

 

lol

V Reading - poor clearance, misjudged coming off his line, red card:

V WBA - penalty, rushed off line again.

Swansea -came off line again and misjudged.

 

Plenty of other examples.  It is silly to pretend this issue isnt there and it doesnt matter.

 

He is still a good goalkeeper I am sure, but the coaches and Westwood need to resolve this issue (as much as they need to resolve Dawson parrying issue and Wildsmith stopping shots low and close to his body.

 

Westwood, without resolving the timing issue, isnt the goalkeeper he was.  But it can be resolved (but so can the flaws in the other 2 goalies as well).

 

 

 

 

 

Dawson should consider a career change.

Maybe furniture removals.

We need a new number 1.

 

I'm not convinced that Westwood is the keeper he once was tbh. His organisation and vocal skills are still there obviously, but he seems far more prone to a gaffe than he once was. 

 

Throw in the fact you can't actually rely on him to play, whether that's injuries, falling outs or the festive period.

 

Has been a very good player for us, but I do genuinely think his time will be up by next summer. A bit like a few players, it's increasingly got that feel of a loveless marriage, where both parties would be best served by moving on.

Been saying it for ages

 

He’s got to be the most over rated goal keeper in the championship

 

 

It’s just too binary a statement to make.

 

he has developed a technical issue that needs fixing.  If we fix the timing issue when he comes off his line, evidence of his spell in the first half of last season would suggest he is still a very good goalie. The errors were almost all timing issues coming off his line. 
 

if we can’t fix it , then the debate is which is the least damaging technical problem. Westwood’s line timing, Dawson’s parry problem or wildsmiths issue of shots low and close to his body.

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

This witchhunt is embarrassing.

 

Out for a year. Struggles for form and fitness in a game and ten minutes and the mob are baying.

 

And I'm not even in the 'Westwood is the answer camp'. I'm in the other two aren't the answer, so let's what he can and can't still do while we've got the chance to have a look.

 

He's being held to mythical standards whereby players can be made to sit out of training for a year and arrive back instantly in peak form and physical condition.

 

The other two are hopeless so we absolutely should look at what Westwood has to offer between now and January.

 

If the answer is the two games are as good as it's going to get he should be off (they all should), but it's absolutely worth checking given we're not bringing anyone in before then.
