Who is the new commentator
I’m not claiming he was solely responsible, others are at fault but that kind of passive marking is what Whittaker does all game and it costs us regularly.Quote:

Spot on, Horgan sleeping and efe should try chuck himself in front of the coming shotQuote:

Do you really believe I have something personal against Whittaker? I’ve never even met him but I’m sure he’s a really nice bloke.

Did you listen to all of what he said? You’ve picked a few words and put them together to make your post.Quote:

I don’t think it’s a personal thing I just think you’re that convinced you’re correct that you’re blinding yourself to “prove” your point.Quote:

Definitely not a pen for us, Whittaker got turned too easily for the 1st and was slow to react for the 2nd, Efe fouled near the end for a penalty to Killie. Too many individual errors still, got a wee bit lucky with the refs decisions by the looks of it.
I’m not sure where Stevenson was? I think for both goals the attack came down that side but he’s gone infield somewhere? Was he man marking someone or something?Quote:

Efe’s ‘tackle’ should have been a penalty. Too laid back as usual. Hopefully big Daz gets back to full match fitness soon. Glad to see Porteous getting starts though
O’Donnell and Burke are both good players and were working Stevenson and Horgan hard.Quote:

Just seen the highlights on my phone as I wasn't there yesterday due to being on holiday. How Ambrose's challenge didn't result in a penalty is astonishing.
Great free kick from Mallan and header from Gray. Penalty was very clinical from Kamberi.
Their first goal was poor from us defensively. Their second was a good strike.
Kids football and professional football are completely different things.Quote:

Not seen them back yet. At the game I thought we were struggling down the left hand side.Quote:

A lot of folk now jumping on people who criticise whittakers performances , some calling them boo boys ...
At the end of the day if folk think his performances in the centre of midfield are okay then i would question their knowledge of the game.
He was okay in possession for about half an hour in the first half yesterday but generally he takes an age to set his body when taking possession, if pressed then he loses possession.. , and the rest was rubbish. He is so far off his man at times its unreal, he takes about a week to react to second ball and his general reading of play defensively is horrendous. I personally think he is a liability playing there and we will lose goals as a result.

stevenson and horgan should have done better, whittaker got turned about 20 seconds before the goalQuote:

What annoys me is that he seems to be getting treated completely differently by an element of our support. Doesn’t really matter what is posted on here but I think it’s noticeable at games in terms of the reaction towards anything negative he does. You hear people moaning about him before a ball is even kicked and they are just waitig for that first mistake to jump on thereafter.
his performance yesterday was ok, and ive watched and played football to a relatively high standard so my knowledge of the game is fine thanksQuote:

Yeah but surely we are judging him on his performances so far this season not just yesterday. He isnt good enough in the position he is being played , he has had quite a few poor performances so farQuote:

His game has improved massively from then and he consistently performs , so it would be ridiculous to jump on him for having an off day. Whittaker had been poor in most of his games with a couple of games he had done okay.Quote:
