It is not necessarily lack of effort, and players have different roles. Marine had tired for the last 25-30 minutes. That could well have allowed Whitehall the opportunity to find space and be more of a threat.
The problem in this is that some seem to speak as if there is no room for nuance between Whitehall is 100% good or 100% bad. The last 30 minutes of yesterday showed he can be a danger. However, the performance before that was not good and Beestin was outshining at that point. It’s up to the manager and it wouldn’t be outrageous or a shock for Butler to stick with Whitehall, but with Beestin playing consistently and well (plus scoring 2 against Brackley) and Carlton having potential, Whitehall needs to up his consistency in my opinion. None of this is me saying he is a bad player.
We all make mistakes, as I did when I misread the second part of awaywego’s previous post directed at TJO, so it’s not about saying Whitehall is atrocious. He has good aspects and towards the end he showed that. Let’s have more of that.
