Past Member Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) One keeper good enough, but not fit or robust enough. Two younger fit keepers, not good enough. A problem position, which is rare for us. Edited January 1, 2021 by Somebody 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to be the envy of the whole country in the goalkeeping department We'd always have an amazing goalkeeper and a very very strong deputy Like you say goalkeeping department hasn't really been as bad as it is now 3 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catdog1121 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 1 hour ago, @owlstalk said: Yeah I really do hope we do and go back to two keepers instead of three Totally agree. I think Wildsmith is ok as a deputy. I would love Westwood to stay but the problem I see it is with the wages he is on you need a decent keeper that can play basically every game. I just cant see that from Westwood, I still think he is good enough, probably not as good as he has been but way to prone to picking up niggly injuries. Would love to see him stay at the club as a goal keeper coach or something but that would mean a massive pay cut. Hopefully if we can manage to stay up we can regroup after the fiasco of the last couple of seasons, if our championship status is secured and with a bit of money available we can rebuild.

SiJ Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Wildsmith did ok tonight and is a solid enough deputy. Westwood is still the best keeper at the club and his experience and organisation could be so important for us this season. Unfortunately, you're never entirely convinced how many games on the trot you will get out of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, you're never entirely convinced how many games on the trot you will get out of him. The lack of trust the players have in Wildsmith is so apparent though, I’ve never seen so many SWFC players defending inside the 6 yard box We have a massive Summer ahead of us on the goalkeeping front.... If we have the chance we should cut Wildsmith and Dawson loose - selfishly I f we could I would keep Dawson as a back up to an experienced #1 but I think he could be a number one eventually in league one or two at some point. But really we should let him attempt a proper career Wildsmith won’t ever be a number one in the top 4 divisions. Then...we need a #1 who can play 35+ games a season Edited January 1, 2021 by McRightSide 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
