Andrew Whing - Would You Play Him On Saturday?

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Why have we kept Hoyte?

Competition for places is one thing, but THREE right backs?

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

Whing all day long for me. Hoyte can do one. That said ive not seen Calderon yet

 

[Deleted User X18H]

Give him a cameo last 10. Unless we're one up of course.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Up to Gus. If he thinks Calderon should keep the shirt then go with him. If it's between Hoyte and Whing, then it's Whing no contest.

 

[pishhead]

Poyet said he wants two players for every position and some positions three, right back isn't likely to be one of those positions. As already mentioned there really isn't room for sentiment however it would be quite a fitting way if his last appearance was coming on for 20 minutes at the end of the game.

I would play Calderon from the start and then bring Whing on in the second half when Calderon starts to look tired. I think that Calderon is worth starting for the extra dimension he brings to our attack.

 

[Johnny Crumplin Football]

Whing was one of the few players last season who showed any sort of passion for this club.

I certainly wouldn't begruge letting him play on Saturday.

I agree with WJ. Sure he would be fired up

 

[severnside gull]

hope he gets a place on the bench

 

[RM-Taylor]

Should be:

Calderon - Tunnicliffe - Elphick - McNulty

With Whing and Virgo on the bench

Will be:

Calderon - Virgo - Elphick - Hoyte

With Tunnicliffe and McNulty on the bench

 

[8ace]

Painter is cup-tied

 

[BLOCK F]

No chance. Play your best right back which at the moment is Calderon.

For too long this club has been a charity and it finally seems as if Gus is changing this mentality.

We have a good away record and Villa have had a couple of slip ups recently. We should be playing to get some sort of result.

Correct!

 

[RM-Taylor]

Painter is cup-tied

Ohh I didn't know that, I'll change it now.

 

[Mendoza]

Depends what you want flying down the right wing?

Ginger, Passion, Massive Chin
or
White boots, Flowing Hair, White Boots

 

[Kumquat]

He's kept Hoyte because he clearly doesn't rate Whing. There will be another signing at right-back in the summer I suspect for cover when Hoyte goes. Not sure when Whing's contract runs out, but he'll be on his way. I agreee give him ten minutes at the end but Calderon should start.

 

[westy]

Give him 10 mins off the bench towards the end when we are 0-2 up and seeing the game out...

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Should be:

Calderon - Tunnicliffe - Elphick - McNulty

With Whing and Virgo on the bench

Will be:

Calderon - Virgo - Elphick - Hoyte

With Tunnicliffe and McNulty on the bench

McNulty WILL be in for Painter.

Otherwise I suspect unchanged from Walsall.

 

[Fef]

Whingy should be given a spot on the bench. If, later on in the game, it looks like we can get something out of it - then we stay with our strongest team at that moment; if we are getting stuffed, then bring him on.

Bringing him on against Villa might also be the spur to reignite the passion in the Whingy of old.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Whing was Player of the Season last year mainly for effort and passion. He stood out amongst some pretty mediocre performers in last seasons relegation struggles as one of the few who actually cared. Unfortunately, he does not have the footballing ability to match that effort and looks quite vulnerable sometimes. He was woeful earlier this season although granted, coming back from injury does not help. I would say loan him out to get some games.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Passion is brilliant, although can anyone see Whingy being SO fired up that he CRASHES into one of Villa's quick young things a little too 'enthusiastically' and leaves us with ten men..?

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i'm not sure we should start playing players based on who they supported as a kid

calderon sounds like he had a decent game at the weekend- keep him in
