and live on Freeview channel 276
In response to The Star’s new Facebook feature The Daily Debate, Wednesdayites mulled over the pros and cons of all three of the men battling for a spot between the sticks; current incumbent Dawson, long-time number one Keiren Westwood and up-and-comer Joe Wildsmith.
The comments suggest supporters are split when it comes to any notion of a recall for Westwood, who hasn’t featured since defeat at West Brom in November.

It wasn’t an opinion shared by Richard Hawley (not that one!) who said: “Westwood every time. Got the experience over Dawson. Dawson good prospect but needs more work but in future could be a quality keeper.”
Dawson recently signed a new four-year deal with the club having shown good form in the Owls goal and speaking after Saturday’s draw manager Garry Monk made clear he will stick by the 24-year-old, describing him as ‘a very good keeper’.
