    Middlesbrough have tabled a £3 million bid for Westwood: http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...-35857202.html

    I would say that even as a Top Level Championship Goalkeeper he is worth more than that.....

    Unless a club was lucky enough to have an up and coming goalkeeper to replace him its going to cost a few bob to replace him .......

    Goalkeepers are traditionally undervalued in the transfer market although the recent sale of the Sunderland keeper bucked the trend. I would say there is very little chance of Wednesday selling their keeper to a potential promotion rival. They are not a selling club at the moment.

    I am not sure why the writer says that "a move for Westwood, who has been the Championship keeper of the season, as well as the Owls' player of the season, in their last three campaigns, could also enhance his Ireland's prospect, with uncertainty surrounding Darren Randolph's future at West Ham".
    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    Yeah, there's only one thing that can enhance Westwood's Ireland prospects... and that's Randolph.

    It's filler. Doubtful the author would have gotten away with presenting a two-paragraph "article" to his bosses for publication.

    Westwood went off in the first half today. A collision with a Burton player who went in late on him. He tried to play on but was unable to continue.
    The Wednesday twitter account didn't specify what the injury was.

    Says he hopes it's just bruising and not ligament damage http://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footb...bion-1-8723795

    Making a few mistakes this season. Let one squirm under his body against Brentford on Tuesday and in the 96th minute against Cardiff he could have done better with a free kick which he just pushed out to the feet of an on-rushing Cardiff player. He just hasn't been the same player this season compared to the previous two.

    Saw that alright. Should have been able to push it out for a corner or further wide. The one against Brentford was a proper howler.

    Not to be outdone though, Randy conceded a goal after having a clearance blocked down by Jamie Mackie.

    What do you think it's down to? A physical deterioration or a mental thing (lack of concentration or motivation possibly)? He's still not that old for a keeper - he'll be 33 next month - but could having just missed out on a return to the EPL again have affected his frame of mind?

    He had really outstanding seasons in 2014/5 and 2015/6. Last season, while playing well, he went off the boil a bit and this season a further deterioration. The first two seasons, he had a point to prove so perhaps it's a mental rather than a physical thing.

    It would have been amazing if his name was also Wednesday. Then, 'Wednesday would be missing Wednesdays game tonight, Wednesday, with a fractured rib'.

    Wednesday have perversely enough lost 9 of their last 11 games on a Wednesday. Luckily they weren't called Sheffield Saturday or they'd be in even more trouble.

    Actually how did the Wednesday part of the name come about?

    I googled that more than once actually! They started out as a cricket club that used meet on Wednesdays. The football team was set up after a while.

    His stand-in did well against the Forces of Evil from 35 miles up the road to the north. He might be hard pressed to get back in to the side after a few uncharacteristic mistakes this season.

    One or two sloppy pieces of play aside by O'Kane when he tried, close to his own box, to play foot rather than hoofball, I thought he did well and is certainly not afraid to put his foot on, as opposed to through the ball.

    No. 3 now in the pecking order at Wednesday. Feel for him. When he was at the top of his game, a clearly not at the top of his game Shay Given played instead for Ireland.

    He was losing form and making the odd mistake when he came back from injury and SW now have two young keepers who the manager is trying out and they're doing ok. Giving youth a chance and all that.
