Drop Whitts Drop Alf

Mon Jan 19, 2015 3:35 pm

Surely its about time to drop these two. Alf cant score for shit and whittingham is proving to be damaging to this 442 setup slade insists on playing because he is too slow and cant get box to box dosent close down is often marking thin air and just dosent have an ounce fight and battle in him to play that centre midfield role in a 442.

And the people that defend whitts and think the sun shines out of his arse saying he is needed for his set pieces and he has most assists in the team bla bla, well fair enough you might have a leg to stand on if we were winning games and doing well but fact is we aint and are losing games so his set pieces and assists mean f**k all really do they if we are still getting battered in midfield and it is making us lose games.

Sort it out slade and show us your a football manager not a pe teacher.

So drop Whitts for who ?? Not sentiment, he is still one of our best players and would get in every team in championship. Our wingers are the problem, no one is not the player he was, drifts inside too much, he needs to stay out wide for an outlet ,

Whitts central in a 4-4-2 is just not going to work.

Agreed, which shows Slade is out of his depth for not picking a formation to suit our players

:lol: - no, come on - who would you really pick?

Re: Drop Whitts Drop Alf

Mon Jan 19, 2015 7:12 pm

as per my team on another thread
brayford and john as wing backs
Connelly Morrison and turner as 3 centre backs
adeymi and ralls either side of gunnarsson
Kadeem harris down the middle with ravel up front
so the 2 instead of whitts and alf to answer your question is ralls and harris :bluescarf:

Ralls a decent option in fairness, forgot about him :lol:

Not so sure about Kim, doesn't offer enough for me, not a goalscorer and hasn't really improved the way I expected (thought he was going to be excellent, even put him as my username :lol: )

I would drop whitts for joe ralls,he was one of the best players on the pitch against colchester and has much more energy than whitts in the centre of the park. I would even give one of our young hungry academy players a crack could be the making of them given the chance just look at kadeem harris and what hes done. Osullivon or theo wharton.
I would drop alf for maynard kadeem or call back healey and give him a crack.

Slade fucks me off constantly picking underperforming players.
