Best performance for quite a while I thought, MOM for me. Looked comfortable in the position NW played him in today, I'd like to see him finish the season out in that more advanced role.

It is vital for us that he signs on, moment of magic out of nothing
WOW . He actually got MOM on level 3 . I reckon the ones who selected him stayed at their table the whole game and drank gallons of wine .Quote:

I thought the same thing, and he did look slightly lost today. Only time will tell if that's because he doesn't understand what the other players are going to do or because he can't keep up. I worry it's the latter. However he's one of the few players we currently have who know how to put the ball in the net. I think he could function as a 10 but he needs to up his contributions going forward and defending as he's not influencing the game enough for what we need next season.Quote:

Quite a few misplaced passes and lost most challenges too.
2nd half much better, more involved and created a lot but when we were hanging on I was glad to see him go off.
I must have been watching a different game. I thought apart from one decent pass, one decent cross and a goal from a ball that fell to his feet he was awful. He let Brentford's midfield and defenders run the game.
I thought their number 23 jota was what Whitts was 7-10 years ago and was a far better player.
This is not American football where a player can come on as a specialist and I don't believe the team can carry him for the majority of the game.
So, apart from setting up the first goal, and scoring the second, what else did he do, eh?
:sherlock:
Whatever he wants :hehe::hehe:Quote:

We were outplayed by Brentford in midfield for long periods of the game.Whitts has one pace now-slow!!My wish is that he gets his 100 goals and at the end of the season we offer him a coaching role or reluctantly say goodbye.Club legend without doubt but in my opinion has no more to offer a Championship side seeking to improve.Quote:

He's probably the only player at the club who can consistently unlock defences with one pass or a set piece, he's also a calming influence who's experience could prove invaluable if we were to go for it next season
What would he coach? He's got the enthusiasm of a sloth.Quote:

I remember he was very good down here when they won two seasons ago and he's impressed me in televised games since then, but, luckily for us, much of his crossing was dreadful yesterday.Quote:

Never judge a book............unless of course you know him personally.What I have seen of him of him off the pitch down the Vale he has a completely different persona to on it.I think he would be a good role model for the youngsters and the perfect foil for Bellers.Quote:
