See, I understand where your coming from , but at what point do we stop looking for short term solutions ? We’ve had 2 young keepers here in Dawson and Wildsmith, who have both shown promise at various times but neither have really kicked on , we’ve not been willing to put the long term faith in either Wildsmith has had a wasted season, utterly pointless at his age to be sat in league one as a number 2, Dawson goes out on loan gets promotion and rave reviews …. But we’re still not really fancying him back here as No1 are we ? It won’t go down well, but I really think Dawson’s biggest issue here is the fanbase , we don’t trust him , and he knows it , can he come back here and play with the confidence he’s had at Exeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those posters who said they were grateful/ would have been grateful for/ stability were not demanding enough. They had lower expectations than the players! We had an enormous squad. We are all different…being excited by lots of goals against weak teams and enjoying it in league 3 is understandable but the club ought not to escape from appropriate ambition nor from criticism for failure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickford just turned 28 and he has 50 England caps. People will still call Dawson and Wildsmith young at 26/27 no doubt when their names crop up this summer on these threads. Can someone tell me when a keeper is not 'young' anymore? At my age anybody under 40 is young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modboy Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Be happy to give Dawson a go unless his wages are high (and we have offers for him). As we've seen against us it's not too hard to get a decent gk in L1, especially with the pull of our club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0742 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 The keeper situation once again highlights how badly run this club it Dawson on over £10k a week is shipped out to Exeter, where we pay nearly all of his wages. We bring in BPF and end up paying all of his wages, plus a loan fee too. BPF does not instill confidence in the defence, you can see this by the amount of verbals he gets in games from our own players. Far too often his decision making brings more pressure on us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll come back fresh and more confident (in theory). That might not have happened if he'd been with Wednesday this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that though, I'd love Dawson to come back and claim the number 1 shirt and get the same reviews he's had from Exeter. Dawson would be fine for us at L1, no point paying crazy loan fees and wages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinowl Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I’m not a massive fan of CD. But surely we have to give the lad a go and as a minimum keep him here as no 2 if we’re paying his wages. Get another keeper in and let them battle it out. JW not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Meadows Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Overall.. 6.5/10 never felt 100% confident with him, but certainly a massive upgrade on the 2 keepers we have on our books. Made some big saves and did well not to let mistakes affect him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screen Door Slams Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I am hoping Dawson returns as number 2........................new keeper needed after BPF returning, as I would release Wildsmith as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshy Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 People talk about mistakes etc. The problem is when you take effectively a third choice keeper from the likes of a premier league club, he’s sent out to iron out those mistakes from his game. Eg he’s behind you. You have to take the rough with the smooth. If they were the complete article, they wouldn’t be here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorrallOwl17 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 He was good for us, think we'd have been worse off points wise if Wildsmith/Dawson were our number 1 for the whole season, made some big saves at big moments in games and obviously a very good penalty saver. Reckon we were 6-8 points better off for saves in tight games and penalty saves. Should go for Bazunu next season, won't feature at City but after his season with Portsmouth they might want to send him to the championship next time.

BIG D Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I'd have him back no worries. Made mistakes early on, all keepers do. Never looked particularly flustered though and a calm character. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
