Wood would be VERY capable in League One,
If we can keep him he would easily be in the top 5 centre halfs in League One
Turner was on a 4 year contract. Westwood would never have signed a new deal here and though I rated gunnarson a lot of people like him more now he is gone. Keogh has been offered a contract as had Cranie.
If we could have a starting defence next seaosn of
Hussey ---Wood ---Cameron ----Clarke
then defence would be the least of our problems !
In fact, if they could all stay fit, in League One, we wouldnt miss Craine or Keogh anywhere near as much as we have missed King this season !
I understand your post, but there is no way all back four players will stay fit. Not only that, there is no cover for any of them.
willis played a couple of games last year, christie at full back or i'm pretty sure has played centre half in the academy - someone my know better?

Our biggest problem atm, is we have the smallest squad in our modern day history. The minimum requirement imo, is, 25 players(Experienced)...cover for all positions and 3 universal players(Any position)
Westwood indulged in agent speak on this one. He was never going to resign. Everton and spurs were rumoured to be in for him and signing one would take him off the radar. Ranson was trying to offload with a year to go and failed.
Westwood wanted to sign a new extention to his contract, and actually told SISU this when they brought in Boothroyd.
When Boothroyd was asked about giving Westwood an Extention, he replied "I haven't bumped into him on the training ground yet"
6 months later Boothroyd still hadn't offered him a new contract. To put it bluntly, Boothroyd and SISU treated Westwood with contempt, and got their "Just desserts".:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:
Boothroyd dropped him because he wouldn't sign a contract, Westwood accused the club of trying to bully him to sign a new contract or something or other.What was the whole "he will never play for this club" thing about at the beginning of the season before last.

Basically Aidy was an arse and none of the players apart from King and Platt liked him.

Bollocks!!!!
The players enjoyed the spell under boothroyd. By December we were in the playoffs!!! Suspensions, injuries and a transfer embargo messed that up!!!
Since boothroyd left this club has gone downhill!!!!!
18 months ago the Playoffs were a massive possibility. Now relegation to league 2 is a massive possibility!
Downhill? Was it fifteen games we went under him without a win?
The club was going downhill before Boothroyd left, it is no surprise he is next job was a league 2 club.Bollocks!!!!

How would it have been different though? We would still have injuries and transfer embargo and suspensions throughout the season which you have said is the reason we tailed off, unless of course you are just using that as an excuse for Boothroyds terrible run that followed.Because of injuries, suspensions and transfer embargo. We played Norwich mid December and before the game we were above them!!! We had a player sent off and Holt scored a late winner. That was the moment when our momentum stopped. If we won that day things could have been alot different
CCFC;201061 So yea basically the majority of the players didn't liked him and didn't want to play for him like I said.[/QUOTE said:remind me when did they start playing again? I must have missed it.

and where did that style leave us when he eventually got sacked?If the players hated his style so much then why did style get us top 4 place mid season???

Are you in fact Mr Boothroyd himself?
The same style that took us sliding down the table once our opponents worked out how to stop us. AB never had a plan B. That is why he got the sack. The same style of play that gave us stiff necks if we tried to watch the ball. The same style of play that had most fans complaining.
Anyone would think AB took us down
