Whittingham

Did I see Whittingham refuse to sign autographs after the game? Could be wrong but that's what it looked like from a distance.

wish it was a contract he refused to sign...... guy is holding us back

wish it was a contract he refused to sign...... guy is holding us back

We played so much better without him holding us back today!

Was posing for photos outside pre match

Maybe he had to go somewhere quickly maybe the player with the most assists this season had somewhere to go

Did we really play that much better? I thought we were poor in ball retention with the ball switching between the teams very quickly, and not down to good pressure.

Shame Ralls went off though, been hoping to see him being given a run in his proper position.

IMO though, we don't have the midfielders that suit a 4-4-2

I think he's being sarcastic

No you didn't.

Bar far our most technically talented player but doesn't have the instincts of a central midfielder in an old fashioned 442. Malky built the promotion tactics around his talents and only when teams sussed how to stop Whitts they stopped Cardiff. Malky rarely played him in a 442.

I, like 18K others haven't got a clue what Slade is trying to do.

I believe only Pilkington is genuinely in his natural position. Noone,Gunnar,Fabio or Whitts are not really 442 players

I believe Whitts and gunnar can play in a modern 4231 as the 2, but the 4 in front must be capable of getting the ball and going past players and scoring. We have the slowest front line I can remember.

Nail on the head with last paragraph. Whitts is great and getting the ball deep off defenders and playing a simple pass, keeping things ticking over but is also capable of switching play early. Our problem is we are short of movement (Mason and Doyle have improved this with dropping off or running the channels but I'm not overly convinced by the 2 of them)

Our formation doesn't suit our players. Pilkington would be far better as a further forward winger too IMO and is also able to beat a man. 4-2-3-1 or 5-3-2 suit us much better

This is why I can't have Slade. He had 10 times the experience of malky when he came here but hasn't adapted any game plan from the 1980's 442.

Building a team is about mixing experience and youth, talent and muscle. It does my head in when our fans applaud every trier as if we are back in the dungeon. Talent wins championships, getting your talent to perform to their optimum is the managers job......Slade proved he can't do this

Reading his other posts I don't think he is
