legendaryswan Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Westwood was one of the better keepers weve had,in his heyday right up there with the best. Like a few stayed well beyond his sell by date and should have been given much tougher competition to get the best out of him,but the lack of investment in quality in our defenders exposed him more than he should have been. The time to move him on elapsed some years ago, but thats been a theme at the club under poor ownership and shouldnt detract his record of clean sheets. He served us well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fudge27 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 KP was a different level to Westwood. Westwood for 3 years was class, unfortunately the last 3 seasons have ruined any kind of legacy he built himself 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Great servant. Legend. Deserved more international caps. Incredibly unlucky with injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppers Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 A really good keeper. Sadly, I think there was is part his his character that was a negative impact. Too many managers dropped him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_vinyl_frontier Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 He's been the best keeper for us for a long time. Just a shame about the odd injury and useless Monk dropping him. If not for that, we would have stayed up. We also need to find 2 new keepers for next season as '3 goals Wildsmith' and Dawson are both useless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woods (argh) made some right changers, and Pressman was in goals for some of our most embarrassing drubbings You might want to canvass the opinions of United fans on whether Pressman was ever the difference in games against them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the monk Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I'll always remember him slowly walking to fetch the ball ,then slowly walking back with it ,and then taking an absolute age to place it and take the goal kick .......we were 2-0 down to utd at the time !

Apparently they are still young (25) and are for the future Maybe they need loaning out to a league 1 club !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a very good player over the years has Westwood. Wish him all the best.

Pressman was class in the top flight, you cannot deny that. Srnicek was class in the 2nd tier for us, as was Pressman too. I'm not buying these apples, sorry. Westwood has been good for us in the 2nd tier on the main. Not totally. Srnicek never played in the second tier for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him, Hooper, some great heads of hair now left the club. If we lose Hutchinson's mop then we might as well all pack up and go home. Can't have Barry Bannan as the captain of Hairline FC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
