GOAT Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I was always of the opinion that Whittaker was a decent player, good at going forward but not that great at defending. In the last couple of months he has really won me over and has been fantastic, especially in that spell when he had to play center half for a few games. His defending has been excellent recently and I hope he keeps it up as it sorts our right back position for a while.Well played Stevie boy.

Mansion Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Me also. Was pish all this season compared to last. Has really come on to a game along with lafferty - although lafferty always does towards the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irwin Sparkes Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 His positive attributes far outweigh his negative ones. Modern full backs should be athletic, pacy, and good going forward. Being a good defender is now an advantage, not a prerequisite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 He always seem to start the season off reasonably well and then fall away halfway through the season but step up and come into his own for the last few months of the season.Hopefully he gets a new contract.

simon Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 He is an excellent footballer, it just seems he struggles with confidence. When he is confident he is brilliant but when he isn't he is woeful. Fantastic attitude as well. Broadfoot, hopefully, won't get a look in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

messiah10 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 bout time, been pish for bout 5 months but hey ho he can score a penalty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz the Bear Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 He is an excellent footballer, it just seems he struggles with confidence. When he is confident he is brilliant but when he isn't he is woeful. Fantastic attitude as well. Broadfoot, hopefully, won't get a look in.Exactly, a real confidence player but really has grown into the jersey since he signed. Flashes of brilliance, the odd clanger but definitely deserves to be here for a long time to come so heres hoping plus he can play virtually anywhere if required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Govan Front Antz Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I have never been a fan of his but recently he has won me over! I think he has became slit better since becoming our pk taker. Goals breed confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davie2909 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I really like Whittaker as a player he has an abundance of skill and gets forward frequently normally firing in a good cross or creating an opportunity or 2. BUt sometimes he just makes my blood boil due to his confidence being low etc.I agree he was fantastic at CH for us and i really hope he keeps up this level of performance.

Jamie1807 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Always liked him, good footballer and he can play in various positions.I'd actually like to see him get a game upfront sometime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 He needs to go see one of those Sports Psychologist midway through season to keep his focus and confidence levels up.I've always been a fan of his bu there was a point this season where I thought he looked awful, I'm glad he's picked up his game again.t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theweebluenose Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 He had some really bombscare performances this season but seems to have recovered well, never going to be convinced about him defensively although saying that he was brilliant during his stint at CB.

Plamf Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Everyone hated him 2 months ago and said he was one of the worst fullbacks in a long time, constantly exposed.He then puts in several games showing the type of performance he should be showing and he becomes a world beater, with some people even saying he's our player of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NessFTW Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 He's certainly playing excellent at the moment, his defensive game has come on leaps and bounds.One of the players we do not want to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastEnclosureBear Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Always rated Whittaker but can be frustrating. Beats 3 player then fucks up a short pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyjones Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 A confidence player, and at the moment his is up, but we have been here many times before. If he can retain this form he will be extremely valuable to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escobar Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 When he plays well, he is a brilliant player. Done very well on Saturday in the build up to the last goal aswell.Very good at attacking and running with the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Ive always likes him and he's one of my favourite players!If we change to play a 4-3-3 he's a brilliant fullback to push up and give us width etc but I can't see us doing that anytime soon!I took my missus to her 1st game recently and was saying to her how he's one of my fav players, how he's good at this and that and a little boy standing next to me said he's my favourite player as well. It was his nephew and the people we were with was him mum dad and sister. Spoke to him for a good 5-10minutes and was sound! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart1994 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Wish he played in midfield I feel like he's better attacking than he is defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
