Fosters wage demands will be ridiculous for a L1 club. Would like to see us steer clear of that type of signing. Have we not learned from the past?

WORTH THE GAMBLE? So in your eyes he doesn't deserve a shot at redemption? I don't need to repeat myself on how good his last season was. For me, you gamble every time you bring a player on board, especially at this level. BPF made some howlers this season. He also made some Important saves. In my eyes, a confident Dawson could prove himself as good or better than BPF - will we get better by loaning another player? So I'm saying that based on recent evidence, we have a keeper that's on form and ready to go. Give the lad another chance, I think he's more than earned it. He needs the fans behind him and a huge welcome back. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally be happy with him as one of the two keepers next season. Personally thought BPF cost us as many goals as he saved us. Was poor commanding his area and made some bad mistakes.

Take your blue and white specs off,he isnt 'a lad' he is an experienced Championship Pro GK who has been sent out to Div 4 FOUR because DM didnt fancy him in goal...... DM was the 4th different manager to come to that conclusion & Dawson has 76 games under his belt in his time at S6..... He isnt in my view 'good enough'....He may well be good enough elsewhere,maybe even good enough to play back in the Championship...but NOT HERE.. 'The lad' is a grown man.....not a youngster with his first turn at the shirt.... What is it with our fans that they cant move on?... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fudge27 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Again to reiterate. 1st choice for 4th tier Exeter City (who finished with less points then us) Is a million miles from 1st choice for Sheffield Wednesday 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When was the last time we saw a confident Dawson at S6?....thats the WHOLE point.....he & some of our other players didnt/couldnt step up to the mark when it MATTERED... I season in the 4th tier of 4 in English football doesnt change that.... He has to come back,under the full microscope of a packed S6 and produce week in,week out over a season....He hasnt been able to do that in his previous time here,and he needs to continue his career elsewhere.(as do some others who we have achieved NOTHING with....) Time to turn a page,and look elsewhere....& he is not 'a lad'.....learning his trade..He is an experienced Pro footballer with 76 appearances for us in the Championship........ Does he now command his area? inspire confidence in the defenders before him?.... There are other options out there,Cameron has enjoyed long secure contracts here,and been WELL rewarded.....I wish him well,but NOT HERE... I think myself that many of us were relieved not be starting our campaign to return to the Championship with either him OR JW in the nets.....

Rotherham Owl Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I think I will be happy with whatever DM decides. If he thinks he is good enough then I will be happy for him to be our No. 1, if not then happy with him getting someone else in. BPF is probably the worst ball playing keepers we have had. He kicked the ball out on goal kicks more times than Bob Bolder used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmJimmers Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 High up on my list would be Adam Davies. Used to be at us, played 100 games at L1 and around the same at Championship level. Less than a goal a game conceded at L1 and almost a 50% clean sheet rate. Only 29, already plays in the city so wouldn't need to relocate. Wales international.
