    Whittaker & Mcgregor

    Sorry boys, I appreciate yous have both had good careers but now are absolute dinosaurs of the modern game.

    Does Mcgregor have feet?

    Do you have a sense of perspective?

    Both were good players in their day

    It's time for them to depart in May

    Can't see Darren getting a contract extension and we should just cut our losses with Whittaker. Darren has been a great servant and although I have no doubt Steven has tried his best he's becoming a liability more often than not.

    BIT HARSH ON McGregor,but I do think Whitty should make it a priority to obtain his coaching badges.

    Lost count of the number of times he passed the ball to the opposition or out for a throw in tonight.

    At least it is just this season that McGregor has faded. Whittaker has been brutal for 18 months now.

    Playing side by side as well Their build up play was slow, sideways and repetitive and whenever we lost it they were liable to get caught out as both have lost their legs. Lennon hasn't hinted toward signing any defenders but we really shouldn't be this heavily dependent on 33 and 34 year old defenders who are regularly injured.

    I feel dirty for saying this because they have been model professionals for the club but its time they were moved on. Age and injuries have caught up with them both unfortunately.

    This is way better than pun after pun

    Unfortunately Whittaker and McGregor are done.

    I think McGregor still has a lot to offer in the right team and doesn't deserve to be lumped in here.

    Whittaker is useful back-up for a few positions when we have bad injury problems but shouldn't be starting ahead of anyone.

    We should also be careful about playing this pair together as they do each other no favours.

    Easy now, you’ll be hounded for criticising Whittaker like that.

    Again?
    Whittaker, Milligan and McGregor all past their best but people just can’t see it for some reason.
    Bartley not good enough either.
    We have went backwards alarmingly from last season.

    I think in modern day football it's very hard to get away with a defence that has no pace, especially at fullback.

    Whittaker has his moments but the reality is he's finished. Grateful to his service to the club, especially his first stint where he was part of a truly wonderful group of young players who were a joy to watch and of course won us our first piece of silverware in 16 years. Great memories but it's time for him to hang up his playing boots I'm afraid.

    As for McGreagor, yes it's obvious to see that he's past his best but I still reckon there's another season left in him to be honest.

    There isn’t. That’s your heart ruling your head. He’s finished now.

    He did - first twenty minutes in particular.

    Glad you found your bus home Hermit, I was genuinely worried that you would be stranded and I'd have to offer you a lift.

    Thought Darren was OK tonight. Certainly not the worst by a long way.

    Daz looked more composed than Paul Hanlon for a start. Even when moved back to CB. He just seems indecisive these days.

    There will be nobody hurting like Daz. He knows this though and knows he’s not getting a new contract. He’s still trying to do his job plus playing for us. Whittaker I will expect to retire in the summer. Boys a millionaire and is done.

    The back four Mackie aside look like they are going through the motions and aren’t playing for the manager. Unless they are told to back off back off back off

    They back off because they don’t have the pace if they get turned.
