We've been spoilt

Sat Apr 07, 2018 8:34 am

For the last decade a pen meant almost a certain goal, 25m free kicks were expected to test the keeper and we scored from a corner most games (exaggerated i know) we were spoilt in Whitts :notworthy:

Not at all suggesting he stayed, father time had caught up with him, but what a legend.

Neil needs to find the next one.

Joe Ralls, barring one penalty he missed when he took two in one game, has been reliable from penalties.

Would definitely bring him in for Gunnarsson when he’s fit. Shame he didn’t make it last night - hopefully at least be in the squad for Villa.

I felt exactly the same when the first penalty was awarded and I'm sure thousands of others did as well. It was a privilege to watch Whitts over those 10 years but he ended up as the square peg when NW needed a round hole. Sadly NW has been unable to replace the quality Whitts bought to the team but on the flip side he has put together a squad which is better than the sum of it's individual parts and it's provided a fantastic journey this season.

It's not over yet mind still a few miles left on the journey this season.
