Dawson is one of the best goalkeepers we currently have. You get the best of both worlds with him. He's young enough to be a schoolboy on the field, and old enough to be earning lots of money for your troubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philb125 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Both have 50+ games at championship level averaging a clean sheet in +27% of those games. Both have had spells where they have looked good. So I’d say both have the aptitude to be good keepers at this and championship level. However!! Both have certainly gone backwards. I’m not sure if this is attitude, mental fortitude, confidence…. It seems to long a spell to be considered form. I believe both would benefit from a spell away from here in a less pressured environment. I’m not sure how realistic that is for Dawson considering the bumper salary he got to prevent him being 2020’s Shaw/Urhoghide. As back then there were plenty of talk about him leaving for Celtic/Rangers and a clamour to pay what it takes to get him signed up! How hindsight is a wonderful thing. I fear if we go into season with them, they regress further. Our fans are hardly supporting of players going through bad patches and I think that would only impact their confidence further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo hippy Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 There's something there in both of them. But they both need to kick on and halt this stagnation or even decline. Loan one out and bring in a number one. But concentrate on strikers above all else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also note that Cameron Dawson is 26 and Joe Wildsmith is 25 they are not inexperienced professionals anymore. To use a popular phrase at the moment if not now then when? Would be better if we moved them on but are unlikely to do this as the clubs they are likely to attract will not be able to match the wages they are on here. Regarding moving them on, what club is going to take a gaff prone keeper off our hands… at any level ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been a good suggestion, tho I feel he’s more likely to be a number 1 in the championship than the premier league now. Goalkeeper is a funny position, if you are second choice you get very little game time. Ward is good enough to be a number 1 for someone yet may sit and watch Schmeichal play 95% of Leicester’s games this season. If we can get a keeper as good as Ward on loan we would be very happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Think tank Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 10 hours ago, mogbad said: Both are poor positionally, neither commands their area or has the confidence of their team mates, they’re both mentally weak & concede goals from shots that an average League One keeper would save. That’s a lot of basic faults for any decent coach to iron out of them. If I was the new goalkeeping coach I’d be telling DM that neither of them can be relied on and a new keeper is a must. Bang on the money for me. They can’t do the basics well, coaching isn’t going to sort it, they are just not good enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screen Door Slams Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Think back to when they first played , and i think its fair to say that BOTH of them have regressed , which should bring the standard of coaching into focus and rightly so. It could be salvageable , but Wildsmith in particular looks completely shot of confidence and a new keeper is needed ASAP , i think its make or break for both of them this season.

When everyone pushed up attacking and the opposites broke away everyone sent scamming to get back and ended up about four trying to stop a shot. I sometimes think we're playing goalie-wag when these two are in goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they changed their minds? If so, it’s time for a change I'll hold my hand up and admit I did think that that they were effected by the Westwood situation. If either sneezed out of place they got slaughtered for it. They both looked at times scared stiff of making a mistake, which invariably in that mindframe you make more. That said it looks like we're going to be stuck with both of them as this seasons keepers, so all we can do is see if they've toughened up or gained confidence now its over. Personally I just think it's part of the weakest and leaderless side we've ever assembled in my time. As we can add the likes of reach, Palmer and Co to that too. Heads drop too easily, confidence just dissappears in an instant and weve lacked the leaders to inspire and galvanise. I'd never have picked either bazza or Lees.

I agree to a certain extent, but a back up keeper you are always going to be judged against the No.1. It’s a hard role at a club, you don’t get games for weeks, then have to fill in and perform. You need to be physiologically ready and confident But I think the young lads had more games than a normal No.2 would have over the past 2 years.

I don't think Westwood has found a club yet, so again a 12 months contract on our terms. Both are far in front of Wildsmith and Dawson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kew Owl Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 We ought to be asking why neither Dawson nor Wildsmith are as good as they were a few seasons ago. If we get a new number one, what’s to say he won’t go the same way ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
