He aint 6ft 2 built like the preferbial kicks lumps out of players or pulls and tugs opposition players. That's our style and the number of yellow cards we have reflects that.Jonty wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2026 12:28 pmNot sure what you mean “our style” Whitfield is a winger, get the ball out to the Whitfield, wing play is direct, beating players and putting balls into the box and scoring goals. I don’t know what about our style you suggest doesn’t suit his strengths?Main Stand SeasonTct wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2026 10:42 am
Our "style" of play was probably the main contributing factor in him wanting away and your right Boreham Woods style will probably suit him.

Re: Whitfield
Fair comments, i was thinking more of our link up play with wide players, it should suit his style. His goal v Sutton good example.Main Stand SeasonTct wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2026 12:33 pmHe aint 6ft 2 built like the preferbial kicks lumps out of players or pulls and tugs opposition players.

Re: Whitfield
As several have said, Whitfield is miles away from the player who we first signed. I'd be happy to see the back of every player left from last season's team. Sadly, I'd be just as happy to see the back of almost every player Murray has brought in this season as they are no better - in fact in many cases worse - than those they've replaced!

Whits and Newby were the two wide players we needed.
