Hopefully! It's time for whitts to be warming the bench he slows the game down when we should be putting teams on the back foot - he has become a one trick pony and we just can't rely on him for set pieces there are others who should now be given a chance now.

I've corrected the heading.
Be careful what you wish for and who would you put in his place?

launch it,launch it,launch it,launch it,launch it, chase it , get stuck in


All from a bygone era !

Whitts the defensive liability is the linchpin of a team that's lost twice in 14 games

Wait until our decent strikers is back.

I "watched" the game through BBC sport live messages, Whittingham pass to Mason :Mason offside.....Wait until that is Ameobi

We will never score goals when he constantly passes backwards we now need a more dynamic midfielder time for Joe Ralls to play in centre of midfield who will offer us more energy
My opinion the football is boring to watch and whitts is a culprit of being negative in his approach
He's been a great servant but doesn't offer enough to the team

So negative that Whitts has got the most assists this season with 4. Stop looking for a scapegoat. :roll:

How can you go forward when the strikers are static?

It's all about opinions!
4 assists and remind me how many goals have he scored this season?
Not enough for me we can't carry players on reputations

And you can't score without assists, he's top of that list so his reputation is standing up.

Whitts has 1 goal by the way and 4 assists.

Ralls has 0 goals and 1 assist. He's your choice as you stated.

Whitts for me everyday. :thumbup:

Re: Witts

Sat Oct 31, 2015 9:13 pm

Yeah my point is if Ralls played more central we would have more energy in the team and stretch the opposition which is not happening now
A central midfielder should score at least 10goals a season at this rate whitts will get 4 at most
Your obviously a whitts fan looking through rose tinted glasses

I am a Whitts fan and his stats back up my argument. You're not a Whitts fan with a short memory.

Whitts cannot do anymore, you need to look further up the field for the lack of movement and energy.

Who would you replace whitts with? It should be gunners who is dropped.

Re: Witts

Whitts is a class player Who's playing in the wrong formation and position the guy shines class but everyone blames him when stuff goes wrong but the truth is if we didnt have his set pieces where would we be this season?

Re: Witts

Any manager worth his salt would be playing a younger quicker sharper joe ralls in whittinghams place this season.
Either bring in matty kennedy or pilkington in on the wing then we will be a much better side then and we would create a lot more chances

Re: Witts

Sun Nov 01, 2015 10:12 am

It makes me laugh when people go on about dropping our most creative player.

The most creative players should be the forwards or wide players in a 4-4-2 yet Whitts is still way ahead of them.

I do agree with those that say he would be better as part of a 5 man midfield but whatever the formation he has to be in it !!

My team given the current limitations:

Marshall

Peltier- Manga - Connolly - Fabio

Kennedy - Whitts - Dikajoi - Ralls - Noone

Jones

Malky built his team around his ability and played exactly that formation.

I don't think many players can play a 46 game season but Whitts suffers, so needs to be rested during the season to stop him falling off the cliff at the end of the season. He also isn't getting any younger.

Another clueless comment from you. Whitts' main play is not to score goals but make them, that's what assist means, he is not a striker. How many goals has Ralls, Dikagcoi scored??

I wouldn't replace Whitts with anyone as there is no one to replace him with :thumbup:
It wasn't me that wants him replaced by the way :thumbup:

Re: Witts

Whitts doesn't seem to do a lot , but everything goes through him .
Passing sideways or backwards,is the way he always plays. Waiting for some movement in front of him. He hasn't got Campbell, Chopra or Bellamy making runs anymore only Mason ,who is way to slow and always offside .
Whitts has never been the fastest or the hardest tackler, his job is to make things happen,with our strikers at the moment , I'm afraid he has no chance .

His assists are all from set pieces
None from open play
We have others who can take corners and free kicks :sladein: :bluescarf: :bluebird:

Spot on id say these fellas praising whitts are the deluded ones because i aint seen him create nothing from open play this season, hes never far enough up the pitch to make anything happen, how can he create these chances people are going on about when hes always camped in his own half?

Re: Witts

Sun Nov 01, 2015 1:26 pm

I seem to remember when we beat Forest away, Kenwyne scored a goal from open play from a cross from Whitts,also Morrison scored a goal against Charlton,again from open play, from a cross from Whitts. I agree he may not be the most effective player when we play 4 in midfield but that's not his fault as he doesn't pick the team.

Hey presto!!! There you go you have just mentioned 2 instances without even thinking about it yet some on here are so blinded by their hatred for Whitts that they can't see the wood for the trees :thumbup:
