Whittaker

[AugustaHibs]

Slower than a week in polmont. Nae awareness of what’s around him.

See ya

[IGRIGI]

You'll get pelters but I agree, one decent performance in just over a season has turned him into Pirlo for a lot on here.

[SeanWilson]

Fine first half. Lost the plot second half.

Our supporters are far too quick to jump on him

Couple of loose passes and everyones screaming blue murder

always been a fan of whittaker but he is just passed it , its as easy as that, also after watching that, It just increases the fact that we needed another striker/goal scoring mid,

mclaren seems to only do his stuff from the bench, though granted he is far better with flo upfront, but the truth is, with flo out we are very average upfront, and for a team that relies on scoring more than the opposition due to our leaky defence, this is an issue, nothing we can do til jan now likely,

but going with flo, mclaren and 2 kids who really we have no idea if they can cope with a full season in the top league, is just not good enough considering we have funds to get someone, or should have! Id have kept murray if I knew we would end up with this attack,, would really have liked even a hitman to hold up the ball for these games, make space for others, very very dissapointed today, nthing to say flo will come back on the same form as last season also, will give them time, only 4 games played, but we do look bare in certain positions,

Suppose your the same sort of poster delighted with how our transfer window went.


Absolute no danger you were there today.

Was good in the first half, then felt obligied to take over from Mallan after he went off in taking over the role of being absolutely ****

He was terrible in the second half. The 3 at the back were even worse though, as bad a second half performance as I've seen in a long long time.

[RossScott1991]

Convinced he has a sex tape involving Leanne and Lennon to have been given a 3 year deal and picked most weeks.

[sundo1875]

Beyond me that he gets a game over Slivka. We need Milligan in ASAP.

I’m not convinced Milligan will make things much better. I haven’t watch much Middle East football but I doubt it’s ideal preparation for playing in the spfl.

I’m sure it’s nice to have your own fans jeering you. He’s been absolute murder but he’s no asking to be picked.

That’s ok then. He had a “pretty good game” last week. If you’re genuinely happy with Steven Whittaker as our midfield anchor then we’re in big, big trouble!

Indeed,strange as it may be the Prison/Young Offenders is not actually in Polmont but is in Redding.never understood that.

Gosh ,was glad to be thinking on something else after that shambles of a game.

Oh ****,reality.

He's done but he wasn't the only one to not perform today.

Dreadful area in my opinion. I lived in Falkirk for 6 years and don't miss it one bit......

[Hiber-nation]

Good for half an hour then rotten. Didn't help to have players alongside him who didn't fancy it one bit on that pitch today.

[PatHead]

Thought Whittaker was excellent today. Would have had a goal but for a very good save from their goalie.

[Libby Hibby]

Funny how his critics are a quiet tonight.

He isn’t a CM, he admits this himself, play him in a more natural position and he will do just fine for us.

You can’t be saying things like that.

In all seriousness, he was a hell of a lot more comfortable at right back. Played well.

[bigwheel]

There are more than him that have said he is “done”...if they were there today, they surely couldn’t honestly maintain that view ..deserves a lot of credit. Was an important part of the second half performance ..

[Brightside]

if you think steven can replace David in that role you are mad. We played the worst team in the league today. Steven is a good squad player and should only play if we have injuries

[Blaster]

Nobody is denying that. But the abuse he has taken recently whilst covering injured players was outrageous

Or I am mad and you are correct as always

Nobody said he could replace David. But his performance today showed his value in relation to your second point.

They may have been the worst team in the league but it does not disguise the fact Whittaker had a very good game today. It is great to have competition in all positions and strength in depth.

There are no passengers in this Hibs squad. Its great we can debate who should be playing where, who we would prefer to play where. Every player in this squad has value and something to give, the squad has rarely been this strong and is getting stronger.

[Iggy Pope]

I like it best when posters add that bit of gravitas to their thoughts by referring to players by their Christian names. It's so reassuring.

I agree. I don’t think he should be in our 11. But how much more comfortable was he today? In his position.

Agreed. Lennon doesn’t see him as a first 11 when he has everyone available , but that’s not going to be available to him every week...at that performance level he is more than capable of playing and contributing very well ..he will be very happy with his shift today

Completely agree Iggy

[CMac1988]

I've been a critic in recent weeks. As always I like to think I'm fairly balanced and today praised him after a good game. I done so throughout the matchday thread.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves though, Dundee never really threatened us at all. I stand by the fact his legs have gone and that he loses his man too easily as he's turned due to marking too tight as a consequence. If it's a case of fitness and confidence then I hope he can push on from today's performance.

It's also worth noting he was back to playing at RB today where he no doubt feels more comfortbale. Up against someone with a little pace though I'm not so sure.

Again good game.

[J-C]

I'm glad he did well but the biggest criticism is more the fact he was being played out of position when he just wasn't good enough for the midfield. Lennon has to take some of this criticism as he picks the team, also it was well documented he struggled with a niggly injury for a while, hopefully having the full pre season has helped.

[CMurdoch]

Played where he is comfortable today and played really well.

Should never have been played in defensive midfield as he doesn't have the necessary skills.
Lennon did him a disservice and Whittaker took a lot of fans abuse as a result.
Milligans arrival will hopefully see that this madness is never repeated.

[Austinho]

I wasn’t at the game yesterday but I would have expected him to have a decent game in that role. Dundee are absolutely terrible and I expect we had the vast majority of the possession. Whittaker when he has the ball is not a problem. The problem would be if we were playing a team capable of running at us.
Would you be comfortable if he starts there on Tuesday up against Mackay-Steven or Niall McGinn? He will get rinsed if he does.
I think Lennon knows this and I doubt he will start him there even if Gray isn’t fit.

Dundee aren’t terrible going forward, they are terrible at the back. He had a good game against some capable players.

49/51 possession yesterday .....Dundee are good on the ball ..keep Possession well ...not so good without the ball

Whittaker’s performance level yesterday was more than good enough to get a start on Tuesday if Lennon chooses

I do think this is a fair comment.

Yesterday though, he did quite good job of preventing trouble. He got a foot in early a few times to stop wingers getting momentum running at him, and he was very tidy in possession, meaning that we didn't give the ball away unnecessarily, allowing Dundee to target him.

Any way you look at it though, he was excellent yesterday.

Ah you didn’t go aeh .... don’t should have scored a couple in the first half. They were fine going forward. Must be a nightmare for you. Whitty cane on at half time. Contributed to a fine victory.

With your exceptional football knowledge get yourself down to East Mains today. Make sure Lenny is picking correct team and tactics for Tuesday
