He could quite easily have left him out and in some people's eyes been vindicated.
In fact it could be argued he would be of more use to us later in the game using his dead ball prowess chasing the game.

NW side losing the game, thought he could change the course if it by mixing it up in the middle and giving the sub more than just a token 5 minutes.

Why on earth should not giving Whitts an extra 10 or 15 minutes make him a disgrace?
Why do you say that? You must misinterpret me. I haven't in any way criticised Warnock or called him a disgrace - just that you don't take a player off to give him an ovation that early. There must have been other reasons for the substitution; I didn't see the game so I don't know what they are.
