That's just proved he must start every game. Game changed when he came on! Only one of our midfield to get the ball moving.

Whitts, Harris and Manga need to start.

Can't understand why Harris keeps getting dropped.

Whitts has to start. I would understand him being dropped to try things but not when you leave Ralls in the XI.

Ralls has been awful the last few games, and again today.

Very strange that our three best players if the season are dropped. Lost us the game. A big cock up today by the manager.

Need to start winning soon otherwise we will find ourselves in trouble.

No faith In Russell Slades assistant at all.Hes trying to be too clever with his fancy new formation and weird squad rotation. Its clearly not working and hes woefully out of his depth

Harris has made an obvious impact whenever he's been played. I've followed him throughout his DVP days and his time is now. Whitt's came on and looks like he made a material difference. I just don't understand the thinking on keeping these three on the bench and the fact that we then went on to score two suggests to me that we may have been able to come away something from the game if we had correct eleven starting.

So our best and most skill full player - Whittingham and our in form, pacy player - Harris are both dropped to the bench.
What does Trollope do when we go 2-0 - he brings both of them on where they should have started. Where's the sense in that?

If Wales had a Whitts like player I am sure Osian Roberts would have devised a system to accommodate an out an out passer.

Joe Ralls is a 442 CM not a deep lying playmaker. Gunnarson at best is a stopper. We do not have the instant pace change of Bale or the mazy tight ball control of Rambo, so copying the Welsh system appears a little wishful.

With player like Whitts, Immers, Pilks and Ralls we should be looking to keep the bloody ball and create overloads to get the ball to rickie with some space.

Ralls was great last season , he is young and will come good however when whits plays he gets slagged off when he doesn't he is the best player in the world om g this site makes me laugh

I've always liked Whitts. This season Ralls has struggled and the new formation hasn't helped him and Immers.
