Calamity Dawson

[David1867]

I think today is an important game for him and also it's possibly a test for Röhl's man management too. Does he drop Dawson after yet another mistake midweek and play Vasquez? Or is now the time to put an arm round him and say "I believe in you" etc? 

 

It's a big call changing keepers, remember when the tactically inept Moore did it in the second half of last season, dropped Dawson and brought back Stockdale. It turned out to be a complete disaster.

He wasn’t Calamity Dawson last Saturday, was he? 
 

Or is that all forgotten about now?

and that’s the problem…the inconsistency. 
 

decent one game, mistake the next.

Terrible thread by someone who does not have a clue about football.

Idle minds etc

But there aren’t constant threads about his good games, only endless threads about how bad he is.

Got to see the big picture on this..we shouldn't be thinking he dropped a clanger there but he made that save in another game so that's ok.

 

The general point people are making is that his all round keeping is below the standard of championship level and if we are to get better as a team, a new GK would be good.

Do you watch the EFL on tv ?

Danny off down t’shops in January to find the biggest keeper in Germany and “bring him home”

[The Hoppy Hopper]

You know that Calmity James was a pun on  Calmity Jane; not a generic goalkeeping insult?

[Jack of Clubs]

Give the guy a break. He may play better with support!!

[Pablo Bonvin]

It seems that football is rather like marriage.
 

Years of getting along but when things get a bit choppy, it’s only ever the bad things you’ve done which get brought up.

There were people disappointed with him in that game. Penalty save and clean sheet meant that they couldn’t have a moan about him.

Just imagine how many points we'd have got last season if DM was tactically adept.

[goodytheowl]

This does need discussing but do we really need to create names to completely wreck his self confidence?

Without 'Calamity Dawson ' we'd have lost to both Leicester and Stoke and be 12 points from safety. I really don't get some of our fanbase slating our players.
