agree..especially when you consider the insane amounts of money our club spends each and every year in transfers,wages and golden hand shakes for players ,coaches and managers whose contribution to the club have been zero.
should be here until the end of his career.

We have to look foward though, and it's a bit irrelevant to look at what he has done in the past as far as a new contract is concerned, every career comes to an end. He is one of those players who one week looks absolute quality, and the next game you wonder why he is even on the pitch. I honestly don't know if he is worthy of another contract, but I still think on his day he shows a bit of quality.

If its going to be a street fight is he the best left on the bench until it calms down a bit ? Especially away.
As our average league position drop this indicates (to me) that we must be losing our talent and are less dominant,so Whitts effectiveness as a releaser of talent diminishes.
The up and at them mob will shortly be getting their dream as Whitts will be gone sooner or later, but with the clubs demonstrated inability to unearth gems since DJ's departure (lots of dogs as well) we'll end up with a team of cloggers. This league finds you out if you don't have talent. Endeavour is a great trait, but you need raw talent and Whitts passing ability and vision gives us that as well as Holliets pace and skills.
Gunnar, Ralls and O'Keefe with Lambert up top is a recipe for a habitual relegation battles. I don't mind Whitts leaving or retiring its his replacement that concerns me.

Excellent post.
The type of scrap we are in at the moment is not suited to Whittingham's game.
You could make an argument for him starting games at home but especially away from home we need to fight and battle for EVERY ball and that is something that Whitts just cannot do.

do think you need to take a step back.
was his performance worth 10k a week ? we have players on much more than that whose contribution is zero mate. manga, huws, richards, to name but a few.
last week it was a failed clearance he attempted in front of the main stand a full 8 seconds before they scored was responsible for a goal. 4 players touched the ball including one of ours durring that 8 seconds, not to mention 8 seconds is ample time for each and every one of our players to have got goal side to prevent it, that was the main negative. you constantly fail to weigh these negatives up against positives.his positives? at the moment we have plenty of guts and determination in the squad but very little quality ,put simply he has quality.
yesterday.id have liked to see him not pull out of that challenge to, would he have won the ball against Chester when Chester was starting as fav .unlikely .he did actually play 3 or 4 very clever balls yesterday,they didnt result in goals but they were there.
i know your passionate for the club but that makes these posts/digs all the more gauling, he is a legend mate.
9th in the most apps list
7th in the most lge apps list { with 2 of those above having a number of years woth of non lge apps counting}
9th all time top scorer
4th most league goals
played in each of the 4 wembley games { i dreamed of us at wembley for 35 years,even in a freight rover trophy final}.while watching the likes of oatway and maxwell and getting excitted about signing richardson and hill
if there was an assists record going back down the years he would probably be top
oh and..question.....which Cardiff city player has worn the shirt in the WINNING Cardiff team the most ever?
not worth 10k a week?.we should build a flammming statue
