Not based just on today because they were all terrible today except the subs but Whittaker is not a better option than Gray. He is poor defensively and offers nothing going forward. Everything done at 2 miles an hour.
I really thought he would be better than he is. Gray needs to be back in the team.

I don't think he's bad going forward, there were a couple of times he could have scored today.
Defensively Gray is streets ahead of him

Nothing going forward? A goal vs Partick?? Only chance we created first half from his pass??
We were bad enough without posting blatant lies.

Fantastic against Partick and scored a goal that Gray would never have converted

Didn't have a good second half but his quality is evident. Delighted we have him.

SDG MUST return
If it's any consolation to Steven Whittaker Lewis Stevenson was even worse

Whittaker was our best player today in my opinion.

My main issue with Whittaker is when he loses the ball around about the half way line. He stands still and gives the opposition player a free run at goal. It's as if he gives up or can't be bothered running back.

Gray is far better defensively but Whittaker is a bit better going forward.
I thought Whittaker had an excellent first half but he fell away badly in the second as the whole team did. I wouldn't really say he was any more culpable than anyone else for our result today.
The thing for Whittaker though is that since he's keeping our club captain out of the side there can't be much room for tolerance of poor performance from him - he can't expect to have a run of bad games without being dropped. Whether or not a single iffy game is enough to be dropped is another story.

I've been pleased with Whittaker since he's been back but today he had a shocker.

Knew folk would be singling out individual players today. They were all rotten. Lennon will be on the case. Time to move on.

That said, some credit has to be given to Hamilton. Simon Murray was nullified apart from one good chance in the first half. Teams like Hamilton are not just going to turn up at ER to roll over and make up the numbers, and it's arrogant to think they will.
This league, I suspect, will be harder than some think, and I saw no evidence today that Hibs are consistent enough to secure second place in this league behind Celtic at the end of this season. Hibs can be good on their day, but that's not enough.
I'm looking forward to hearing what Neil Lennon has to say.

All that is required on this forum is for people to settle down!
Already I've read we need 4 new defenders before the window shuts?
Stokes needs to stay in centre forward position all game?
Player everyone drooled over Whittaker, now seems to be the new whipping boy to some?
If we thought we were invincibles we would be wearing hoops, we were never going to win every game, it is maybe hard that it was Hamilton that beat us, but I believe they came here with a game plan to beat us and it worked.
In our other two games our game plan worked, unless your Celtic at the moment, everyone will lose unexpected games, its how you react to losing that is the difference!!!

Thought he was our best player today but that's not saying a lot as none of them got pass marks tbh.

Can't agree with this one sadly. Out of all the signings so far Whitts has been one of the more impressive id say. When it comes to SDG though I can agree I do think we miss him and he's not the type of player to sit on our bench constantly, I just don't think he should be swapped for whitts.

First half Whittaker was consistently good going forward particularly in view of the number of poor passes he was given.His passing into the box was good and he's streets ahead of Gray in that respect.Second half he went down the tubes with the rest.I've said a few times when I've read about our great defence that for three years they've been playing mostly against poor players and teams that hardly sent any players forward.Now it's a step up and they have to recognise that and not play stupid balls like Hanlon did in stead of putting it into row Z.

I'd drop Whittaker next game, not because of his performances because he's been doing well but feel Gray needs to come back in to keep him happy and give the defence and team a more familiar team mate aswell as the captains presence. He's as good a player as Whittaker and they need to be rotated
