Seriously, I know Westwood is coming to the latter end of his career and isn't our future, but he does instil a bit more confidence than Wildsmith and Dawson in the defence Not if he's not on the pitch Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can You can tell us how he inispires confidence in defence How he's vocal How he's a great leader and organiser on the pitch How on his day he's the best keeper in the Championship etc All true, all valid and all easy claims to make as they're bang on But if he's off every Christmas and only plays a few games a year then it's just not helping us We're right up against it today without him 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morganowl Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Its unreal that westwood who only plays in an 18yard area is tired unfit. He has been doing this now for over 4 years. There is no game for 15days after today fa cup will be youth team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 4 minutes ago, @owlstalk said: So you're saying don't play ANY players in case they get injured? Last time Westwood played 2 games within 3/4 days after a long time out he lasted 15/20 minutes and then missed 6 games. I was a little surprised he played against Boro but it was always a risk selecting him today and one NT hasn’t taken. As for Dunkley after 8 months out for him to play 6 games or so in 3 weeks was quite an achievement TBH. I’m surprised he didn’t break down but once again NT has aired on the side of caution. Should we lose today I’m totally expecting NT to cop a load of sh!t from our fantastic fan base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You countered that he's not available. I do rate Westwood a lot. If he's not available those skills are lost for the game at hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANDY Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 I’ve not looked back at previous festive periods but has Westwood ever done the whole period playing ? maybe it’s in his contract that he gets either Xmas or new year off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it this is the case in 3/4 weeks time, then it’ll unfortunately just go back to reminders of previous seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just NT copping it from some of our fans, but a stuffing on tv, will have all those tv pundits crowing about DC, be careful what he wishes for 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a keeper?? And how would a manager come to that conclusion with a goalkeeper? I don't understand Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
