kick it off 1,948 Posted January 14, 2017 Being played out of position, but that is not an excuse for giving Adeyemi the run on the cross for number two.First one, he''s at fault but so are about 5 others so not really fair to pin that on him.But he''s a really good player who is just scapegoated isn''t he? Playing on the wrong side is ready-made excuse for the apologists, but realistically it''s a pretty thin argument for the header, he just fails to do his job. As usual.http://www.skysports.com/efl/championship/video/10729025/rotherham-2-1-norwich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,578 Posted January 14, 2017 He''s crap.He''s slow, has no positional discipline and anyone with a modicum of pace tears him to shreads.We gave him a new contract despite barely playing last season and loan out our young, up and coming left back.Everything that is wrong with this club in a nutshell.

Rogue Baboon 0 Posted January 14, 2017 Great play for the first goal. Just stand with your hand in the air and make absolutely no effort to get back, then job back a souvenir you realise he''s not offside Great from Wes for our goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JF 694 Posted January 14, 2017 Is it the players fault that has been out of the side for most of the season and is being played out of position, or is it the club and managers fault for him having to play there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,578 Posted January 14, 2017 It''s the club/managers fault. Especially when you have a decent youngster who plays that exact position sent out on loan the week before.However I think what KIO is getting at is that anyone who has made the claim that Whittaker isn''t good enough has been told we''re scapegoating him and he''s actually good.

sonyc 5,489 Posted January 14, 2017 Yes it''s the managers fault not to play someone left footed and a specialist LB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regardless of whether it''s his fault he is playing or the manager''s fault, that has no impact on the fact he is just utter $hite.I''ve been saying this for 2 bloody years now, as have a multitude of others, but he has some sort of bizarre fan club that seem to think he is being really unfairly scapegoated. Patently not the case, he''s just a useless defender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 5,489 Posted January 14, 2017 I''m agreeing with you KIO. He should not have been selected. Who selected him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,017 Posted January 14, 2017 I used to play full back in my later years, equally happy at both RB and LB, it really is not that difficult...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
