Why next to Whitehead? Delap has been better than him all season! Can't agree with that mate and i personally think that Rory should be gradually phased out in order for us to progress but i suppose its all about opinions.

Delap has been consistently good in the middle this season barring yesterday. Whitehead has been his inconsistent self and has played well in some games and woeful in some others. And is much a part of the passing problem as Delap is. They do a good job and we should have improved on them years ago but we haven't so we have to use what we've got. And what we've got isn't better than these pair.

No but he has been our best midfielder and I think the stick he's getting is unfair and wrong. If we had 2 players better than Whitehead and Delap I'd be all for dropping them but we don't. And the reason is TP we should have signed better midfielders years ago. We haven't signed one central midfielder better than Delap in 4 years and we've spent £17.25 million in the process.

You having a laugh or what and bayern i'm not dis-respecting Rory because he's been a fantastic servant to our club but time is catching up with him and like i said in order to progress imo he should be on the bench come January with hopefully a Sissoko type alongside Deano.

I know You aren't sarge but I can't see a Sissoko type coming in and if they did Whitehead would be the one for me that was benched. I thought this would have been sorted this summer though.

Jesus, I agree with Jarhead Actually have to say, that's pretty spot on mate. Now where can I find some rope.. Actually I think jarhead just sums up what's already been said on other threads since yesterday. So he's spot on! ;D

We'll have to see what the man that matters thinks bayern but hopefully he addresses our midfield deficiencies in this January window along with at least one full back.

Original post well written and accurate I'd say, we hand over the midfield as the starting whistle blows. Absolutely right about a partner for Whitehead, Delap has no idea how to dominate the centre of the pitch - he's much happier in defence! Get Wilson in there for the Arse game - can't be much worse off that putting Delap in there.

By my reckoning, Wilson and Whitehead have partnered each other 3 times on each occasion they got over-run more than we did yesterday.
For me, I still think that Rory and Whelan are our best midfield partnership and that is quite a sorry indictment when you consider the money we have spent.

For how highly Pulis and co rate wilson and his transfer fee combines to around the 7 million mark then christ on a bike HE HAS TO PLAY!!! surely???
