1. Against which 6 current Championship sides did Peter Whittingham never score against while playing for us? Luton is an obvious one as he never played against them for us.
2. Against which two sides did Whitts score most against for us?
3. Against which side did Whitts supply most assists?
1. Swansea?
Yes. Never scored against them. I was surprised that he was left out of the squad for the first two league meetings at the Liberty, presumably as Jones didn't think he was up to the battle.Quote:

2) Sheffield United

I'll guess Stoke, they were out of the Championship for a while.
You are right about Fulham and Wigan. If you can't think of when he scored against QPR, it's because he didn't.Quote:

I presume you mean the answer to question 2, he scored 5 against Barnsley for us. He scored 2 against Forest. Neither are right. I thought Sheffield Utd was a nailed on guarantee, but that hattrick was the only time he scored against them for us. He scored 6 against the two teams he scored most often against for us.Quote:

Combining answers, Charlton is the last side that he didn't score against. Excellent working out.Quote:

He scored a few against Palace, but I don't think it's them, Not Wolves is it?
No, neither of those.Quote:

Reading :shrug:Quote:

In that case, I'll try Watford.Quote:

That win was in a run of 7 successive wins that took them into the top 6, top scorers in the division playing some devastating attacking football. We ended that run by beating them 4-2 at home. They won 19 points from their last 21 games and finished bottom half with the 3rd best scoring record and 5th worst defensive record - a far cry from the negative tactics that won us the Championship.Quote:
