I think Whitehall might take a while to realise he’s no longer getting top quality service from Roberts and might have to work a bit harder. Having said that he certainly deserves better than he got on Saturday. Jones and Brennan both look capable of providing the ammo when the three of them sort out what’s required. Given the chance Butterfield’s dead ball delivery should also provide opportunities.
Too much negativity about a player that’s been a top player for us since he came. I can understand opponents complaints about his conduct but he’s our player and, IMO, deserves our support. There are worse exponents of the dark arts higher up the football pyramid that don’t attract such criticism. Start scoring Danny and shut the moaners up!
“ Start scoring Danny and shut up the moaners.” It probably would,but looking at Whitehall and Gale on Saturday the difference in determination and effort was clear to see.
Frustrated with the shithousery but far too early to write him off or ship him out.
He has consistently scored 20ish goals a season and nobody else in the squad has come near that at this level. He is not the most naturally fit and sharp so usually needs a game or 3 to get going at season start or after an injury absence.
Dec is the only other in the squad with a strong goal scoring record albeit mainly at lower levels.
I suspect that’s why Butler is giving him a shot wide right. Don’t blame Butler for trying that and we shouldn’t ditch the idea because it didn’t work first time.
Stands more chance of working if we have a right back with the pace and engine to support Dec going forward.
If Dec can’t make that work then he is only going to get 20 minutes a game.
