Whitts was poor, as were most in the 1st half, but he should have left it until half time it was only 7 minutes, but he let whitts take the flak instead of him getting the boos at ht.

I agree, 10 mins too late.
Zaha lifted the crowd and they were on Whitts' back, another misplaced pass and it would have been even worse

2nd half two goals in 2 minutes.
We had a good 10/15 minute spell but apart from that we were awful and but for poor finishing Marshall heroics it could have been a heavy defeat.
Don't let the Rose tinters on here tell you any different.

If we could see he needed replacing, then im sure Ole did to. Irrelevant when it was done.
I dont boo my tem either, never have, never will.

Not really great management then ..... Switch would have been better half time. Opposite Manager knew what he was facing second half tactically.
Crowd booing ( out of order in my book ) and Your man made the change to please the baying crowd and look better to his bosses and pleasing the paying clients.

Why not he was one of our better performers Tuesday.
Shit yesterday but earned his place after Tuesdays performance where he was central to our possession play.

Well that's where we disagree with just a few a few minutes to half time with the boo boys on a players back he could have held it out until HT then taken him off in private.
Instead choosing to ruin what little confidence a player had left by making him take the walk of shame.
He has a duty to his players and bowing down to the boo boys he won't have done himself any favours long term.
Would he replace Bellers 1st half if he was having a mare? No chance.

If you had seen how poor he was you would have taken him off 10 mins earlier Daya.

the way i look at it steve is in the position our teams are in you need players to knuckle down and tackle and run their hearts out.
who would you take into a physical must win encounter whitts or nolan. Im afraid we have to sacrifice a bit of creativity for some hard work up and down the pitch and whitts dosent bring that.
the top teams allow us to play which gives whitts time but the teams we are facing over the next month will not give us the luxury of time as they will press us all over the pitch

His speed of thought in the transition between defence and attack was too slow, His setpieces were terrible and he looked lost and totally out of confidence. I dont rate him but after a few minutes i really felt sorry for him. In hindsight I dont think Ole should have started him
