Squad.
Been on the decline the last few seasons, moments of quality have dropped in number.
Could have definitely contributed. He's better than Feeney ffs
I don't think he would have got much of a look in. And as much of a fan of his I am. I don't think he would had much of an impact if he did. Not in this team.
Bit part player, mainly in the development side.Quote:

He would have sulked off and started his own message board.
Bit part player at best. Not particularly suited to Warnock's tactics of high energy, pressing high, winning your battles and getting the ball forward quickly. His main competition in the starting line up is Joe Ralls and, set pieces apart, Ralls is the better player with a far better engine.Quote:

Here's a few of the more recent comments on Roverstalk regarding Whittingham, which I suppose many City fans can relate to from his last few seasons:
"I really don't like Whittingham in the midfield. I feel our attack die off every time he is on the ball."
"Whittingham is just so frustrating to watch at this level. He doesn't move much, and really can't afford to have a playmaker that doesn't move."
"Yeah Whittingham out really isn't a big deal, he's not really got going for us at all."
"Whittingham, Gladwin and Harper have been disappointing."
"As previously stated by others, injuries of Evans and Whittingham could be a blessing in disguise"
"Whittingham is not a defensive midfielder in any way, shape or form. Not sure what his use is past getting a pass in here and there."
Hed have hardly had a look in. Pilkington and Tomlin have hardly played.
Agreed based on our style of play under Warnock, but when at his best Ralls at his best is not fit to lace his boots (in fact no one in our squad is)Quote:

Unfortunately, and much though I loved him when he was in his prime, Whittingham now would only be useful for taking free kicks and set pieces. That's no longer enough if we have ambitions to challenge at the top of the division as a midfielder in a NW team also needs to be mobile, quick and good in the tackle.
I still miss the excitement of seeing him get the ball though and his ability to thread the most exquisite passes...
Play the odd cup game at best. Certainly wouldn't be the go to guy on the bench. Plus if he did play I could see Warnock getting proper fekd off with him letting people run past him.
