charltons first goal,whitts at fault

take a good look at charltons first goal
pity whitts wasn't still off injured
the ball out from there corner in our box was dropping to whitts ,who had no one near him and no one challenging him ,
what does he do ,probably his weakest skill ,he heads it straight back to them ,
he had so much time to either bring it down or even hoof it out for a throw in
but no his experienced head tells him to head it out and the rest is history ( he was probably worried he would get hit again)
I also blame slade for not replacing him immediately ,because playing those 4/5 minutes with only 10 men gave the Inititive to Charlton to push forward ,surely we would have been better to bring on o keefe or adeymi for those last 15 minutes

Steve, I cant believe were staring to agree But your right Whittingham is more a liability to our team than an asset.

I see your point but at the same time, couldn't someone have shouted to Whitts that he had time to bring it down? If unsure, it's always the correct decision to get rid asap when you're in a dangerous position. The goal could have easily been stopped after Whitts headed it clear, although to be fair Whitts should have headed it out wide out of danger. Any weak clearance down the middle is just asking for trouble.

ALL OUR PLAYERS DEFENCIVE HEADERS ALLWAYS GO STRAIGHT BACK TO THE OPPOSITION

I can't disagree with that.

I could not believe that Whitts was off the pitch for so long - Slade should have subbed him straight away - sown to 10 men and CA pressed, got the free kick and scored - Slade OUT

He definitely should of had a call. Talking is one of the biggest thing in football and that's what we've been lacking all season a talker and organiser. Easy to point finger at 1 person who is hated on here. But my u12s shout time when someone has time to clear

Whitts has become the 3rd target for blame on this board with only VT and RS ahead of him and in my opinion that's sad. How anyone can call a player who constantly shows the bottle to show for the ball and take responsibility for setting the team going forward a "Liability" beggars belief. To blame him "Solely" for the first goal again beggars belief but if that is the standard why not blame Joe Ralls for another weak defensive header which set up the move which resulted in the penalty.

Joe had as much chance as Whitts to bring the ball down but luckily for him he is not on the "Blame" list - YET. But give it enough time and he will become a "Liability".

That game changed on substitutions yesterday and, in my opinion, it;s clear that Charlton had the greater "Quality" on the bench than we did. Eagles and Church were game changers yesterday and ultimately were the difference in a very ordinary low quality contest between two very very ordinary teams.

You're talking sense Castleblue.. You should'nt be here

Absolutely 100% spot on fella, I just don't get all this Whitts hate to be honest and the ones that constantly have a go at his every move can't see beyond that hatred and it is true what you say it's very sad, you are also right in what you say about the substitutions, they definitely changed the game for us.

Maybe it's all about opinions Steve and you certainly have your opinion. I agreed and always backed you when people on here used to slate Rudy but I'm sorry but I can't agree with you about Whitts but of course that is only my opinion
