I liked Westwood as a keeper when he was at his best but it’s been so long now since he had a run in the side I can’t believe there is still so much discussion time attributed to him. If Pulis thinks we need an experienced keeper in the squad then buy one. My only real bugbear with Wildsmith is his hair. Who really thinks a greased ponytail is a good haircut? I cannot for the life of me thing who he is trying to make himself look like oh wait a minute 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kew Owl Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 In the light of last nights performance, Wildsmith should now be regarded as in pole position IMHO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morganowl Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 wildsmith has always been a really good shot stopper , its other parts of his game what need work. the joao goal was partly his fault . but i feel a lot more confident when he is in goal than dawson. forget westwood lets not go there.

Totally agree with this. His positioning for their goal was very poor - he left more than half the goal behind him to give them something to aim at, which is just what they did, and there was no chance he’d get anywhere near that cross.

0wl18 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Wildsmith had a terrific spell in the side when Westwood was injured under Carlos. Towards the end of that spell he started to drop a few clangers. He’s clearly got ability and, looks to be grabbing his opportunity with both hands. Still doesn’t strike me as an out and out number 1 at the minute. He could improve and, make himself number 1. The issue is, most top goalkeepers do that away from their parent club. We all make mistakes, every player, in every game will make a mistake in some form. Wildsmith and, Dawson should have been loaned out to gain experience, we should have had a new keeper but, Monk decided they were both good enough Credit to Wildsmith, he’s not really put a foot wrong this season in a defensively minded side. He’s doing all he can to make that shirt his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was all for Westwood coming back but bringing him straight back was a poor decision by Pulis (his only one so far). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteOwl91 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 4 hours ago, Hookowl said: The thing is neither of them can find consistency if they don't play, I would prefer Wildsmith to continue playing rather than just drop him. As soon as Westwood has recovered give him a run out with the U23's to see how he is playing rather than just reinstate him in the first team. Both of them had a chance at consistent runs under Monk though didnt they when Westwood was frozen out, they didn't cement that position as theirs. Each one of them let the other in due to loss of form. Wildsmith needs to not allow that to happen this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about Wildsmith but he needs a run of games, not just drop him as soon as Westwoods back from injury (obviously subject to keeping his present form).

Personally I'd prefer if if he was more vocal and organised the defence more. After his performance last night the shirt is his to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes let's just enjoy Wildsmith doing well and hopefully improving, without others on here sniping at Westwood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 If Dawson had conceded that goal, or fluffed that save that Reach cleared off the line he would have been pummelled on here Well by everyone except Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
