As noted elsewhere I'm a big fan of Westwood's. When we bought him didn't someone on the Crewe boards suggest he'd be a future England captain?

NIV, over the years Dave W and I have disagreed on a lot whether it's politics or who's the best team in Glasgow. Having said that I've agreed with every post and article of his this season. You're entitled to be miserable if you wish but I think Dave W is right this time.   

On a personal note I'm an ex-pat in the Caribbean and work with a lot of fans of other clubs. I've gotten no stick despite our position and everyone reckons we've got a good one in Lambert. I share that opinion and think there's a bright future at B6 despite our current predicament.

Time to unearth this thread I think. What impressed me a lot about the way Westwood goes about the game is how he still has a touch of the League Twos about him: he doesn't let his head drop, he doesn't expect anything from the referee, and he's willing to fight every step of the way for the right to play. He's also ridiculously good at reading the game - the way he would predict where the ball would go about two seconds before it did was Nesta-like.

He's looking good, now we need a quality midfielder in January to help him out.

Indeed, he's going to be a top player and needs the support around him.

If only Gary Gardner was fit.  Whilst they're both youngsters I'm more than mildly excited at the thought of the pair of them in centre mid!

He has been our most consistently good player for over five games now.  Love watching him play

Gardner is the type of player we need in midfield, but not sure he's good enough / ready.

A real pisser that injury Gardner had, he'd have surely had a good run under Lambert.

Is Daniel Johnson back at the club ? If so,did anyone know how he got on at Yeovil?

I think he's back. He only signed a month loan there.

Yeovil let him come back early and I think he got taken off before half time in his last game! I thought he looked a good player - better than Gardner on many occasions

I read Johnson only played about 34 minutes at Yeovil before he got injured and returned to us.

It sounded like he had a good pre season with us,so im slightly suprised he hasn't been gradually introduced into the squad as of yet.
