fudge27 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Being number 1 for Wednesday is do far removed from being number 1 for Exeter at a level below ( and getting less points then us) that it's unreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think everyone is remembering when we were in the championship and half the players didnt want to play. If the defenders in front of him werent trying what chance did the lad have. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlinOldham Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Dawson and Wildsmith both always seemed to be confidence type players. With things going good, they looked decent enough keepers. However as soon as a mistake was made by them, or the team played bad and the fans got restless, the ability and confidence seemed to drain from them. Keepers need to be confident in thier own ability at all times, even in the bad patches. Cant help feeling that if Dawson did what BPF did against Ipswich, hed never have recovered.

Exeter fans raved about him and the club tried to tie him down permanently. He's 26 and under contract with us until 2024. Why would we not have him back as our number 1? Have Exeter made an offer for him then ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Both Dawson and Wildsmith are steady league one keepers, I believe Cameron Dawson’s confidence is shot to play at S6 though Both need to move on, I feel sorry for Dawson to be fair would’ve liked to see him establish himself here Unfortunately we’ll probably bring in some journeyman keeper for a season, and then go back to square 1 in 12month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shetland Owl Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Dawson needs to be given a chance, had a great season with Exeter. Wildsmith will leave so we will need another one 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure I read somewhere that Exeter were making enquiries towards the end of his loan, I guess either for an extension or to bring him onboard permanently. Moore wanted to bring him back to see how he gets on preseason, apparently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we don't... we need a Championship keeper as a minimum... preferably on a permanant deal so WHEN we go up next season we still have a decent keeper. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Any new players coming in will need to be 3 things. i) cheap ii) no transfer fee iii) not wanted by other teams. We lost in the playoffs semi last monday, the new season starts 30 July 2022, presumably preseason will 4 or 5 weeks before then, so the club have realistically 6 weeks to start bringing players in, sign existing ones, arrange a pre season friendly list, get the new shirts out etc etc. they should be announcing this week the retained list, but from the sounds of some of the players they have not been contacted yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannofan Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 We will pick up another BPF type from a Premier League club hopefully. Both BPF and Bazunu have had excellent seasons in league 1, both now established as International keepers. I expect Bazunu will go on loan to a Championship club, and BPF will challenge Pope for the number 1 shirt at Burnley. Plenty of decent keepers 3rd or 4th choice at top Premier League sides, it seems loans are the way to go for this position anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 1/10/1983 Posted May 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2022 Just read through this thread. Amazing! So many of you profess to know that Dawson is psychologically weak/a confidence player who will f**k up the minute we hit some adversity. Let’s face it; you didn’t know if this was a true impression of Dawson before he left on loan. You don’t know if it is still true now (or if it was ever true.) And the two most important things; 1) If Wednesdayites didn’t get on certain players’ backs (whatever Liam Palmer did to deserve what he gets from some Wednesdayites, I’ll never know) then perhaps their confidence might be higher. and 2) if there is any truth that Dawson is a confidence player then he will be ideal for us next season because we’re going to walk it! Problem solved! Welcome back, Cameron! 10 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why stop there? Personally I think a PL keeper is the minimum we should be looking at. One with CL and/or international tournament experience. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sethman75 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 If Dawson is our main keeper next season, forget about promotion. Too many mistakes and confidence dips and has proven it time and time again he isn't up to standard 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think for league 1 that would be good cover in GK, and at a lower cost then BPF and Wildsmith were last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game moves on so quickly Last season was the best quality League 1 I've ever seen MK Dons finished on 89 points and didn't get promoted Plymouth finished on 80 points and didn't make the play offs The division will be tougher this year We need to sign players capable of playing Championship football Teams who sign an average League One quality player will end up playing League One football Dawson didn't make the league 2 team of the season Goalkeeper is a specialist position, a good goalkeeper can earn you an extra 10 points per season We need to make sure our keeper next season is amongst the best in the division, if not we will get nowhere I don't think Dawson is anymore than a mid table League One player, nothing I've seen from him this season suggests anything else 2 1 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.
