rfc_no1fan 13 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Played the majority of the match at Right wing. Accies offered no threat at all down his side and he strolled it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 No-one has ever questioned his attacking qualities, it's his defensive ones that let him down, and I want my full-backs to be sound in that department. Whittaker played well today, Hamilton never really tested him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplythebest 11,453 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 he scored 2 goals against hamilton, doesnt prove anything His all round display was good, showed once again that his best feature is attack. Defence is still a problem though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamthatIam 1 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 is it just me that thinks steven whittaker is no good enough to play for us , yes he scores some good goals but overall his performances are awful , thats just my opinion .....

IamthatIam 1 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Whittaker played well today, Hamilton never really tested him. So who can say he had a bad game or not??? Tested against the best you prove your worth. I rated the lad today. Play those that are put inFRONT of you !! Yes, I concur Muff, he had a great game but let's not question..........

FlippinEck 3,717 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 At the end of the day, I am more than happy to have whittaker at RB and let him improve, he was never afforded the kind of run in the team broadfoot was and was always punted at left back or even left mid... despite his defensive drawbacks, he is still the best RB at the club and will improve.

Nemesis 277 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 imagine if we had a decent right back with whittaker on the right of midfield, and davis and mendes in the middle might even see this when broadfoot comes back by the way Do you think Whittaker is good enough a passer to play in midfield? Would be a bad move imo He's a full back by his own admission Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby 41 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Whittaker is an excellent PROSPECT as a WINGBACK , and a good one as he stands. CB's are for defending, WB's just chip in. Glad he did well today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybear 0 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I myself dont like him but he played well today. The way everything is the now he is ok although thats a bad thing but in the circumstances we can't do anything about it. Our hands are tied behind our back and this group of players is realistically as good as it gets on our budget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaton 0 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Whitaker is never a right back. When you look at how well he played in midfield on our run to the uefa cup final, he was far better in that position. He's a liability in defence. His positioning and reading of the game is dodgy. Like him going forward though!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStu08 0 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Steven Whittaker is the best we have for that position at the minute....the only real option!!! Aye he needs to improve defensively but I'm sure that will come in future games and it's nice to have an attacking full back in the team for once as Alan Hutton is the only player in that position who has done that for us in recent seasons!!! He was a midfielder until the age of 18, he can still improve and I am confident he will!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

djgazbcm 55 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 his mazy runs are amazyin,,and ehh how many goals did hutton score from that position,,as an attacking full back he surprisingly offers more than hutton ever did,,,thats a fact...and he has more of a brain than hutton...ie less prone to a booking or 2. anyone disagree?

skinnymate1690 653 Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 i think hutton is a better player , he was condidtant in his performances and he could also tackle , he also had the pace to get back and defend after being on the attack , and if whittaker is a better player then dont you think there would be some speculation about him moving to the premiership ........... just my opinion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
