Last time I looked Westwood was part of our defence!!! Where we have suffered is the loss of Loovens, which has seen Lees performances drop and the defence has conceded more goals as a result, but I think on the whole the defence has performed very well.
Yes he was, but also by all accounts he was forced into that decision by MM insisting on selling someone before we could buy May. It wasn't an ideal situation for any manager to be in and with hindsight it certainly hasn't worked out as anyone hoped it would, but that was where we were at financially at the start of the season, now we start with a different mindset with regards to how we buy and sell players.
MS, here is something that was posted by you just after Antonio left for Forest. Not having a dig or anything but I thought it would be interesting to see what we have achieved since then:
1) No new scoreboard
About to happen
2) Tired old ground
Still nothing been said about the ground itself.
3) Star player sold MAs sale certainly didn't help us and the money was no reivested in the team either
4) Lack of pace throughout the side (just Helan) Still the case
5) Competing with Rotherham for unproven striker We beat them to sign May, if thats a positive!!
6) Still haven't received ST when I paid in March I assume it arrived!!
7) No away kit yet Got sorted
8) Home kit quality problems Still stuck with Sondico for now
9) Team lacks quality & depth I think the January transfer and loan signings we have made have done well, especially McGugan and Keane, but still lacking real depth.
10) MM doesn't know what is happening MM is on a beach somewhere!!
11) Takeover appears to be falling through Which it did, only to be replaced by an actual, real takeover!!
I think most would agree that we have basically stood still this season, although never being near relegation was a bonus. But the last line should see that all change now!!

He was told that Wednesday had accepted an offer for him & he wasn't part of SG's plans two days before the Brighton match. He was devastated & she was part way through her degree course at Manchester so it has made her travelling worse.
SG was so determined to get May that he was prepared to sacrifice Antonio.
