Dawson was installed as Sheffield Wednesday’s number one ahead of the campaign.

Fans of Sheffield Wednesday look on during the Sky Bet Championship match between Sheffield Wednesday and Stoke City at Hillsborough Stadium on September 15, 2018 in Sheffield, England.

Some Sheffield Wednesday fans believe the reinstatement of a player who last featured for the Owls nine months ago would solve their defensive shortcomings.

Wednesday have conceded in all eight of their Championship fixtures this season – 12 times in total – and suffered their third defeat, at the hands of Nottingham Forest, last night.

Ahead of the campaign, the Owls manager Jos Luhukay installed youngster Cameron Dawson as first choice in goal – ahead of the more experienced Joe Wildsmith and Keiren Westwood, who lost his place to injury last December and has failed to appear at any level since his recovery.

Many, including the former Sheffield Wednesday shot-stopper Kevin Pressman, had backed that decision, although some now feel a change is required with Westwood the preferred replacement.

According to Transfermarkt, Westwood has kept clean sheets in more than a third of his 144 appearances for Sheffield Wednesday (52).

Wildsmith, meanwhile, is the only Owls ‘keeper to have recorded a shut-out all season – against Sunderland in the EFL Cup.
