Clean sheet record equaled a few seasons ago while Dawson can't keep one
Honestly, I'd be happy if we only lost by two goals.. This is how bad things are
I get the feeling that we expected Westwood to be gone in the summer and it wouldn't surprise me if he was offered a loan deal and turned it down, causing him being frozen out, but thats just a guess from me!!
He kept those clean sheets behind a solid defence, who knows what he would have done this season behind the shambles we have now!! We have all seen the goals where we would have expected Dawson to do better, but I am not sure David de Gea would have kept many clean sheets for us this season. Its not Dawson that can't keep a clean sheet, its the defence and midfield that can't stop teams that run at us that is not giving Dawson a chance of keeping a clean sheet.
I said to someone the other day, I would take a 1 goal defeat now in this one!!! But the game has to be played and with derbies you just never know, we have seen them beat us when we were supposedly the best team and vice versa many times, Boxing Day 1979 being the obvious one!!!!
