Al Jolson 3 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Take you back to your original post."The defence has lost 4 league goals all season. Why change such a successful back line unless through injury or suspension? "If you want to continue and deflect away from that original post then feel free!It doesn't deflect, it supports that post. Would you like it in capitals? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deleteduser1 169 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Templeton is the best young player in the league and has the ability to destroy every spl team on his day,he destroyed izzaguire every time he played him last year,and he supposed to be the best player in the country.lol .Mcmillan looks,a decent player but we would miss whittaker in an attacking sense.It must be frustrating for the lad McMillan but hopefully he will get some game time this season to show what he can do when injuries and suspensions kick in.I happen to agree with more or less all of your post and actually thought Whittaker played quite well today. His run for Naisy's goal was superb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWTC 2,247 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Whittakers a strange player. He's a good footballer, its just strange he's so bad at defending. He's good in the air, quick, skillfull, has a good shot and is a decent passer. But he gets raped time and time again, especially on his outside, and allows cross after cross into the box. Why, on a day that saw sasa papac start at left mid, is whittaker not played further forward? Hes better on the ball tyan papac, and has shown he can play a number of positions. I wouldnt have him out the team altogether, he was decent today, even if templeton done him a few times, and last week he had two last ditch tackles that saved the game for us. Whittakers starting to recieve the similar levels of critisism that we allow to players like mculloch, and for a spell, edu. Hes a far better player than mculloch, and is a world apart from his current understudy, kirk broadfoot. I agree, theres nothing wrong with giving mcmillan a chance, it could prove a good thing for him and whittaker, maybe thats what whittakers needs.Still though, given our current defensive record, and looking at the goals we've conceded, like last week when broadfoot was strolling around the centre circle whilst david van zanten hugged the fuckin left touchline, its remarkable we're discussing making changes to our backline.

keithgersbear 3,225 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Whittaker is probably in the team because he is an experienced Rangers player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayboleLoyal_atb 3,764 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Whittikers in the team because he's better than McMillan and broadfoot it's as simple as that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayboleLoyal_atb 3,764 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Realy poor run from Whittaker for our first goal today. Get him dropped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinnymate1690 653 Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 nobody is really questioning him going forward but he is very week defensively and he has had a string of poor performances this season and cost us a few goals. mcmillan came in and played better than him but was automatically dropped as soon as whitt came back Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayboleLoyal_atb 3,764 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 So for next week you would drop whittiker who played well today, has played well in a lot of games this season (don't get me wrong he'd had a couple poor ones) for McMillan who played well against Motherwell?

MayboleLoyal_atb 3,764 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 McMillan s played one league game. To say Whittiker hasn't been as good as him ( even at some point) is just daft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MayboleLoyal_atb 3,764 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Have a look at our first goal today. That's a main reason Whittiker plays. McMillan was nothing special against Motherwell. He done his job an fair play to him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinnymate1690 653 Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 well maybe he should be moved to RM then . its his defending that is poor . i get worried when anyone half decent runs at him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 With that shiny new contract Whittaker ans his agent managed to get out the club Whittaker will probably play every game when fit regardless of form. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
