Popular Post areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted December 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2021 I was chatting to someone with close connections at Exeter City yesterday, and naturally the subject of Cameron Dawson came up. They couldn't speak highly enough of him, saying how he's really grown in confidence since his arrival there, commanding his area and pulling off some absolutely fantastic saves for them. Apparently the coaching staff down there are really impressed with him, both as a 'keeper and as a character, and they see him as a vital part of the team which is competing for an automatic promotion spot this season. God knows how things will pan out longer term, but in the here and now at least, it was great to hear such glowing feedback about a Wednesday player, academy product, and fellow Owl, especially after he's had a tough time of it here. Good luck to him. 20 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TrickyTrev Posted December 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2021 We should recall him in January. He’s better than either of the keepers we are currently using. 7 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sw1867 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 The loan should have been done a lot earlier but better late than never. I really do think he can become a fantastic keeper, hopefully back with us. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to him. Great to hear I've always felt he had the talent but that his achilles heel was his lack if self confidence unlike Wildsmith who IMO is less talented but ostensibly more self assured. Possibly the circus surrounding Westwood didn't help either. Hes been written off by some but he's under a long contract with us so I hope that when he comes back we have a valuable assett in our hands. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlabroad2001 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Dawson was crap for us. I don’t rate the boy at all but maybe this loan will be the making of him. Wildsmith will be released in the summer so the chances are Dawson will be back and fighting with a new keeper for a starting position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Always thought both Dawson and Wildsmith are decent enough for the championship not the best, but at least average for that level. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly that's so true, doesn't even need to be a mistake, he needs to shout louder at Palmer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brissy-owl Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Remember bannan going nuts at his errors he made in the championship , think the players hated seeing him in goal as much as the fans did 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0742 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 He's on a ridiculous wage, even for a league one keeper. we should be looking to offload in the summer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it playing under pressure in front of our fans at Hillsborough do you think? Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls Loyal Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I was in Devon a couple of weeks ago and took in the Exeter City v Carlisle United game. Dawson was excellent. His MoM performance won the game as it it finished 2-1 to Exeter but Dawson made two outstanding saves in the second half. He is 26 which is still quite young for a goalkeeper. It certainly makes you wonder. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so yes Wednesday fans are brilliant when things are going smoothly but as soon as anyone has a dip in form they get dogs abuse. Very few recover once the haters have made their minds up, I can only recall Lewis Buxton properly turning it around here 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morganowl Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 glad dawson is doing well . but him wildsmith bpf must rank as 3 of the worst keepers we have had . i cant say whos the best or whos the worst . a dvd of errors special would make many laugh or cry there that bad. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Spoke to my mate who works at Cambridge Utd yesterday to see how he got on - he said… “he was pretty good…much better than last time I saw him play. handling was very good throughout. Our research before the game showed us that he seems to lack a bit of agility but it didn’t show yesterday” The worst thing we could do for Dawson is bring him back. He needs to stay there all season and (hopefully) feel part of being a successful club. I don’t think that Dawson’s ability is his biggest problem, I just don’t think he has the character to recover from his mistakes infront of so many people. So more of a mental fortitude issue 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
