Smokerson Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Well, it now looks like our captain Mark Whatley is now taking a bit flak. I agree with Simon that because he doesn’t have the flair of bobby or is as dynamic as a McKenna he tends to get a bit stick. The guy is a 7/10 most weeks and is leading the team out week in week out and I think he’s vital to the way we play, who replaces him also? There’s no way McCord and Swankie work as a two so you’re looking at Gold or Graham going in there, I’d have Whatley ahead of them every day of the week.

The amount of times Tapping just took the ball, turned and drove at our defence second half was scary and in the EF game it happened for about half an hour solid. Which made Hammy and Thomson looked bad too because they had to squeeze in leaving loads of space out wide. Obviously Swankie is in there too but as you have said yourself he’s not in there for that reason. Whatley needs to be a bit more disciplined in my opinion anyway, someone in there has too because as soon as we lose the ball the gap between midfield and defence is huge. I still really like him as a player. Puts a load of work in for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnitedLoon63 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Thought we were better first half, but second Arbroath more than deserved the victory. Baird was v poor and offside every 5mins, defence was poor especially the right hand side. Strange how Whyte didn’t start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
