Oz Howie · Mar 5, 2012

Anyone noticed he is now third choice GK at Sunderland - obviously he has not impressed MON. Not that we have any hope of seeing him play for CCFC again.

mark82 · Mar 5, 2012

Well, he needed a bigger club so he can overtake Shay Given as Irish number 1. Believed his own press I guess.

jackmartin · Mar 5, 2012

he has been found out as a cock, good keeper but up his own arse,he wasnt liked by the players or staff when he was at cov

ccfcway · Mar 5, 2012

gk in a league one team. or sitting in the corwd on a saturday on 30k a week.

I bet he is gutted he left now

skybluesteve76 · Mar 5, 2012

Good! I'd rather be playing league one football every week than not playing any football at all. No matter what the money.

All the best

LastGarrison · Mar 5, 2012

He's got a wrist injury hasn't he?

Made the step up to a bigger club, not playing first team football but he's still only young and has certainly got the potential.

His level is certainly above us.

superskyblue · Mar 5, 2012

He's 27, definitely needs to be playing football at this stage of his career. Why he'd sign for a club that already have 2 good premier league keepers is beyond me.

Donnie Brasco · Mar 5, 2012

He could've played at a better level championship club on a regular basis and been competing for promotion. This may have been a better option for him.

The longevity of the goalkeeper position means he's only a pup in comparison to other positions.

Sunderland obviously offered him a great deal and he believed in his ability. DOn't think he'll stay at Sunderland but certainly think he can do a job for a lower Prem/upper Championship side.

For instance Leicester, would you take Kasper or Westwood considering we have seen them both? No brainer for me.

Kasper as Westwood would now cost too much.

Martin O'Neil has his favourites. He rarley changes his XI so if Westwood's face does not fit then he is unlikely to get a look in. I genuinely believe had Westwood not joined the Irish contingent he would be talked about as an England squad standard goalkeeper. The guy kept us up and we should be grateful he stayed as long as he did with us.

Whenever I saw him play for Sunderland he seemed to be continuing his with his consistently high form. Westwood is a far better goalkeeper technically than Oggrizovic ever was and because of that, he should be considered as one of our best.

Jack Griffin · Mar 5, 2012

I he had been playing for us this season I guarantee we'd not be in the bottom 3 at the moment.

aodea · Mar 5, 2012

Westwood is a top keeper. He is youing and being down the pecking order at Sunderland will just mean a loan deal somewhere next year but he will defo be a premership starter in the future.

oggys nose · Mar 5, 2012

He is injured but is normally number 2 .

CovLis86 · Mar 5, 2012

When Westy has played for Sunderland hes made some world class saves, nevermind Premier league class. I cant remember exactly how he did it, but I vaguely remember him making a handful of quality saves against Man Utd. What better stage to perform on.

ajsccfc · Mar 5, 2012

It's nice that most people aren't being snide and bitter about a player who signed, fulfilled his contract to the best of his ability and then moved on to try and better himself further.

shepardo01 · Mar 5, 2012

Westwood WAS playing at Sunderland (after injury to Mignolet) and doing well....Westwood fell ill for a game and Mignolet had to play in a protective mask...did well and kept his place.
I'm sure everybody can see now exactly how good he was/is. Unsure as have not checked the press why he didnt feature this weekend in their squad.
In my opinion he IS a better GK than Mignolet.

TheParsonsHose · Mar 5, 2012

Do you think he honestly cares at this stage of his career.

sw88 · Mar 5, 2012

He did do pretty well when he got his chance, but that Mignolet fella has proven himself when he reclaimed the shirt so KW was always going to drop back Down the pecking order. I would take a guess at him not being on the bench is through injury though.

We can definately see how spoilt we were when we had him, now that we don't! Love him or loath him, he is a quality keeper.

Shame we couldn't get him on a cheeky loan deal!

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Mar 5, 2012

It is a huge shame for him, played well when he got his chance but now seems to be back to sub. He deserves his chance and is a prem standard keeper imo.

he is injured, not 3rd choice, a quality keeper

1st choice - Craig Gordon - injured
2nd choice - Mignolet
3rd choice - Westwood.

I think he is better than that, but that's the way it is.

skybluegod · Mar 5, 2012

he's not injured he's been on the bench a lot of games before gordon gordon just game back

skybluesteve76 · Mar 6, 2012

He is finished at Sunderland now. If oneil don't rate ya! No chance.

All the best

Sterling Archer · Mar 6, 2012

Westwood was fantastic for us. Murphy is your usual Championship standard keeper and nowhere near as good as Westwood, he is a Prem quality keeper and will prove it one day. At 27 (as mentioned) he is still a youngster for a keeper so has time on his side.

I reckon we'd have gone down in previous seasons if we didn't have Westwood. Some of the saves he made were out of this world. I wish him all the best wherever he goes.

There's a strong argument for him being our best player since relegation.

Balls I would say that our best player since relegation has to be Roy O'Donovan.

Bring back Kirkland and his fragile frame
