Whitts.....Why ??

[J R Hartley]

Agree with your thoughts Paul but I think your being kind to Whitts. His demise started during our promotion season, from memory he was dropped for a large part in favour of Kimbo and Mutch. He then struggled big time with the pace of the premiership and the decline has continued season on season since. Not helped by the poor mangers we've had in recent years and the role he has been asked to play.

Dave Jones got the best out of him but he never repeated that exceptional goalscoring season he had.

I just love the rewriting of history on the promotion season.

He wasn't left out for large parts, he was dropped / rested for the last couple of months where we won just 3 of our last 13 games.

We averaged far more points with Whitts in the team than when he wasn't that season.

He was far more influential to winning the Championship than either Kim or Mutch.
