Rob Phillips Asks One Question " Why? "

Rob Phillips ‏@robphillipshere
One question after @CardiffCityFC game. Why sub excellent Whittingham in favour of Ameobi. If he wasn't injured this was inexplicable!

I thought Whitts was poor today. The play slows far too much when the ball arrives at his feet. ( and I'm not a Whitts hater btw)

Bizarre ! I, along with everyone around me, thought he was magnificent in the1st half.

2nd half he was quieter but why sub him when chasing the game ? He was picking out Pilks at will.

He was better than ralls and o'keith I don't understand the love in with ralls average at best no pace he gives the ball away to easy he should have been taken off

Thought O'Keefe played better than Ralls.

IMO Ralls is a better player with Whitts along side him as he is technically a good player but needs similar players around him to set the tone. I have said for Weeks Ralls needs a break.

We lost structure when Whitts went off. Ameobi has been a disaster we know it and so does he.

When you have someone whose movement is so welltimed and intelligent as Pilks, then Whittingham is the only player we've got who will constantly find him with a telling pass. Disappointed with O'Keefe....He should've been subbed and Gunnars brought on.

I don't get the love in with ralls either, I think it maybe because he's one of the players in a while to come through the youth at the club.

I do get the love in, he is as close to one of our own as we have had in years. No he is not Welsh or a local lad but he has come through the clubs academy and U21 set up. He looks jaded and needs a rest and will be better in a more possession based system.

I would have thought it was pretty obvious in that Slade wanted more pace down the left hand side.

I actually thought Whitts was quite poor. He always had the right idea but his passing was very sloppy and gave the ball away quite often.

Felt whitts had to come off. He wasnt that good
