I'd swap Whitts

For Scott Parker any day. Parker had as much space as he wanted, he can hold the ball well, rarely gives it away and turn some of our players inside out at times.

I'm not claiming that Whitts hasn't been good for Cardiff. Over the years of course he has.

At the moment though we are getting overrun in midfield almost every game.

I was just pointing out how much influence Parker had on his team today. We could defo do with someone like him right now.

We just launch it. Playing Jones just gives us a free pass......

Malone was open quite a bit but Moore just launched it. We know that Turner will give it a whack.

Completely different players for me. Parker is a busy little player always on the hunt for the ball that can twist and turn but also hassle opposition players. Where as Whitts is more composed who can see and play a pass and is a lot more calming to our play, he's also a little more cute with his defending, instead of running around flying into tackles.

End of promotion season? Gunnarson Kim and Mutch

Strange how we dropped him and switched to a 5 man midfield.

If Whitts is going to play in a 4, it needs to be left wing IMO.

I think he can play in a 4, but he needs to be left wing.

He can, but I think in a 442 you then need pace.

True though and gave life to Kim and mutch who had previously been awful.

Scott Parker was awesome today, would love a midfield player like him. Kev probably the last? Other than when Ramsey was on loan.

Re: I'd swap Whitts

hang on now i am sober...... He had Ross mccormac and rodallaga up front both superior to our strikers and they never had a real chance.

always been a neat passer, but some of the praise is well over the top.

Re: I'd swap Whitts

It might be over the top compared to the very best midfield players but we're comparing him to ours.

I noticed in particular the number of times he was offering advice and encouragement to all his team mates.

Our midfield players are like church mice!

There's more to football than being able to throw a ball in or take a free kick. Some of our fans are easily pleased when it comes to Whitts.

Whitts is the best footballer at the club. Scott Parker is the type of player you need next to whitts. Id swap Gunnar for Parker instead.
