Our goals per game just about halved the day we sold Antonio. The sooner we accept that then we are part way to finding the solution. Sure Forest would sell him back to us for £5m.

           

Its not a case of accepting that, the facts speak for themselves.  I think SG hoped that Maguire would continue improving after the finish to last season and Mags/Helan would provide options down the other wing.  In reality we sacrificed Antonio to get in May, that hasn't worked to well either, but hopefully we can get someone in when the loan window opens!!

Set pieces for me are a different story, I am hoping that one of the new guys has some ability in this department because Maguire's have been awful for most of the season!!  We used to be such a threat from set pieces, with a combination of good delivery and big men in the box, we need to get back to that.

Maguire's form faded from last March but scoring a number of penalties masked this.

It is amazing that a Manager thinks it is a good idea to fund the purchase of a striker by selling the player who creates the most goals.
