mcmigo Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 This is only going to end one way, and I think we all know it deep down. no new keeper 48 hours before deadline day we will announce a 1 yr deal for Westwood 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Really wanted Wildsmith or Dawson to succeed being local lads but have to admit if I was the manager I wouldn't feel confident in them. But with 2 keepers on the books already and the club in such a mess we might have to concentrate buying players in other areas first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A left back, a right winger and 2 strikers, then if we generate any funds from sales a central midfielder who knows where the goal is and a decent match fit centre back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 We need a new GK, as we do pretty much every other position on the pitch. That's not changed since the end of last season and doesnt seem it will be adequately addressed any time soon given pre season starts in 48hrs.

You would immediately question anyone even thinking about joining our club wouldn't you? We are clearly in shocking trouble, very probably terminal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

83owl Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Plenty of time left for us yet. Wait for any decent free transfers to move on and any promising young players to move on loan until all that’s left is the crap that can’t get a contract anywhere else then we will swoop.

Almost as if the goalkeeper is only part of the problem/team and that it’s irrelevant who’s in goals if the rest of the team isn’t addressed. I’m not saying we shouldn’t improve the keeper position, if in budget and other areas are fixed. But right now I’d be prioritising LB, ST, RW, CM before keeper. Who knows, maybe those positions are already sorted with players set to sign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westwood conceded 24 in 20 with 6 clean sheets. 25% clean sheet rate, 1.2 goals per game conceded. Dawson conceded 9 in 8 with 3 clean sheets. 33% clean sheet rate, 1.125 goals per game conceded.

mcmigo Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Lack of goals on the pitch was the problem I think Dawson with some more training ground work on parrying to safety will be a good goalie next season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
