Murphy

Gavin Whyte is Gavin Shyte. He works hard, covers his full back and pitches in but he rarely takes people on, doesn't cross, constantly gives the ball away and has 0 goals and 1 assist in the league. He's got lots of admirable qualities in what you'd like a winger to have but he's got none of the qualities in what you need a winger to have.

If we ever play 3 at the back again, I wouldn't mind seeing Whyte given a go at right wing-back. His defensive qualities, work rate and stamina make him seem far more suited to that role than as a winger who is expected to chip in with goals and assists every now again (to say the very least).

What are the people on the this thread that say Whyte is a decent player basing that on? What particular skills of his do you admire?

Surprise, surprise no one answered this question. It would just reveal to them how crap a winger he is.

Murphy is a good footballer. But he's not the type of player that can impose his will on a game he's being muscled out of. I think most people on here are too harsh on him.

Is he really a good footballer? He's got a lot of talent, but there are so many games when he doesn't have any impact. He doesn't seem to learn from his mistakes either. He switched off at an opposition corner again on Tuesday.

He runs around a lot, so he must be good!

Well Heisenburg gave a pretty decent response over 9 hours before you posted this.
BTW I'm inclined to agree with him.

Agree our fans aren’t great but for other reasons and not particularly for last night. When you fork out the best part of £40-£50 on food, ticket and travel on a Tuesday night in freezing conditions then I feel you’re entitled to let a player know he’s been pathetic.

.

Oh not the "fans spend x amount, travel x amount, they're entitled" stuff. All those fans went because they wanted to, they spent the money because they wanted to, it's a hobby, no one's a hero for doing their hobby. If they don't want to spend £50 and be freezing and get home late on a Tuesday night, don't. I didn't, it was easy.

Great that the club has support that's willing to travel but people do it because they find it fun, don't choose to do what you enjoy with your mates and then complain and act entitled to stuff about it.

Bingo! Fans act like they are martyrs for the cause.
