Perhaps you mean derby games. One Boxing Day at Goodison Park, in front of the rows of Catholic priests playing (praying ?) with their beads, Woods was magnificent with his saves and dispossessing their forwards when they broke through one on one. If I remember correctly Hirst scored the only goal and we won completely against the run of play, due to an incredible goal-keeping display.

He's having a fantastic season out on loan, up for player of the month and heading towards promotion. Can't we just say well done and leave it at that? Some just can't bring themselves to be positive and supportive, can they.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parajack Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 2 hours ago, owl-zat said: Some of the comments from our so called fans a few seasons ago were just pathetic and even earlier this season the "he's found his level" remarks . He's a young lad learning his trade and goalkeepers usually reach their peak in their 30's so he's a long way to go yet. People so easily forgot the clangers Westwood used to make every now and again but were straight on Dawson and Wildsmith's back if they did anything wrong. Both were a nightmare and cost us goals,and both seemed to go backwards under us......no point glossing over it..eg CD 26 now and has been at the Club for 8 Years now,and has 76 appearances under 8 managers.. Its great that he has been putting in great appearances whilst on loan,but he is in the 4th tier of 4 in the English League. If BPF leaves would you be happy for him to return? because i see it as a page turned and the loan to put Cameron in the shop window....as a saleable asset only...

TbagMcgraw Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 He shouldn't have been our keeper in the Championship. His confidence was shot to pieces, and that was the clubs fault. I'm delighted he's had a good season, and thats bound to have restored some of his confidence. We owe him another crack, and I'm sure he'll get it. But, some of his performances last season were bad, really bad, and he was even making clangers in our pre-season games too, and we had to replace him! BPF is far from the finished article, but he's better than Dawson. Letting Dawson out on loan this season was the right decision, but I'll welcome him back next term. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devonstrix Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 All young keepers have a mistake or two in them. Young Cooper at Plymouth was praised by Robinson at the weekend, as being the best keeper in L1, but he’s not always been great at dealing with crosses. He’s improving year on year and looks like he will be a PL keeper in the future. Wednesday would do well to take another look at Dawson before potentially throwing the baby out with the bath water. I’m sure Basso will definitely have been watching him and hopefully he will do his preseason with us, regardless of what league we are in. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruscol85 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Personally don’t think he’s good enough for top end Lg1/ Champ, but that’s just my opinion. Too prone to error, no good with his feet. Decent shot stopper, but that’s the minimum you expect from a GK. Glad he’s doing well mind, good luck to him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I hope he doesn’t come back - for his sake. He’s more than capable as a goalkeeper, he’s not found his level yet he just went out to play football and enjoy it, something he would never get here. He is obviously far too good for league two but he may have priced himself out of a move to Exeter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drewswfc Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 All I know is if Dawson had made some of the ricks BPF has made this season he would have been crucified.

Popular Post OriginalAlien Posted April 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2022 We sent him out on loan to aid his development and take him out of the firing line in a hostile atmosphere at Hillsborough. It was an opportunity for him to show what he can do with an eye to proving that he has a future with us. He appears to have passed with flying colours, so should be given the next opportunity to show that he can do a job for us. Sadly, I fear that if he came back, a large section of our fanbase would be waiting for his first mistake to get on his back and destroy his confidence because they can't stand being proved wrong. For that reason, he'd probably be best to seek a permanent move. We seem to have two more young, promising keepers in Hall and Charles starting their journey. If they progress as hoped, I sincerely hope they get more support from the fans than Cam and Joe have had. 9 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Owl Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Anyone remember the start of the 79/80 season? Bob Bolder had an absolutely horrendous start and after a nightmare performance against Blackburn (3-0 home defeat where he was at fault) was dropped for 3 months as his confidence was shot and the fans were on his back. He came back strongly and was an integral part of the team for the next 3 seasons. Maybe that might be what lies ahead for Dawson. Hope so, the lad deserves a break. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauchief Owl Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I'm sure if Dawson came back and had a few good games fans would support him. Berahino had done little for most of the season but then he has a purple patch and many supporters significantly altered their views about him'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
