Reckon he will jack in playing soon?

After a difficult start he's got himself back into the first team. However, it sounds like things are no different in League 1 than they are in the Championship for him. Comments such as "too slow", "sprayed passes everywhere", "passed it sideways", "lack of energy", "creator", "too slow", "only way Whittingham's going to get injured is when he's combing his hair" sounds like debates about Whittingham on here over the last few seasons.
He's dividing opinions at Blackburn. When he was with us, when there was criticism directed at him, there was still an acknowledgement of the years of great service and amazing memories we have of him. Blackburn fans won't have a memory bank of Whitts and are naturally going to be less forgiving if things don't go well.
Funnily enough I think he could still have been a bit part player for us this season. I never thought that moving down a division in search of regular football would make things any easier for Whitts. In fact, in the way we saw a better Graham Kavanagh when we got promoted, I thought Whitts would find life more difficult dropping down a division where midfield battles are harder and players have less vision.
Give it a rest Eric. Didn’t you slag the poor bloke off enough when he was our player?!? :shrug:
ETHB is merely commenting on what he has seen written on their message board, rather than commenting on the player himself.
He's been ineffective for the last 3/4 seasons. Pity really.
I really hope he finds that spark again
You can argue the team has been less effective, that his effectiveness has been restricted, but (bar maybe last year) his productivity has still been vitally important to the team.
Think EThB has got it spot on, dropping down the league was not necessarily the way to go for him and going to a club where opposition would be up for it each game makes the challenge harder.
Theres only one mug involved in this thread and thats you. According to you, Whittingham didnt contribute anything to our Carling cup run in 2012, our promotion push over three seasons under Mackay, our season in the Premier League and rebuilding under Slade, Trollope and now Warnock. Absolute rubbish. He was our best player for a period of over
nine years. If you cant see/acknowledge that then there is something seriously wrong with you.
I'm sure I read there's a coach for set pieces at M'boro.
If this includes free kicks, who better than Whittingham to have a similar job with us?
As a previous poster said, a role within the academy also.
I put P.W. on a par with Peter King.
