I have never been a fan of Whittaker and last season I thought he was just about the worst player at the club. Now that he's playing in his preferred role just behind the front men he looks a different player. I am coming around and am getting to like him more and more. I realize we are a division lower and this may be he level. Taking nothing from him though he is doing well and is impressing me, which I may add is not an easy thing to do. Carry on doing what you are doing Danny. Well done

It'd be more respectful to spell his name correctly, Fish.

Dyslexic mate and his name is not in the spellchecker data base Looks ok to me and you know who he is so what does it matter? You turned into H Again?

Pleased you're praising Danny, and last season was a shocker for him. But to say you've never been a 'fan' makes me wonder as to your ability to sus out a decent player ?? He scored , what was it? 12 goals in the promotion season? Yes, plenty of penalties but he sticks them away. But for me he's easily the most creative midfielder we have, or have had since Peter Leven or Marcus Ebdon.
Our best player so far by a mile this season.

You have seen the light. I think L2 is a factor in Danny showing up so well again.

Best player on the pitch against Oldham, from the division above.

Putting playes in their most comfortable position makes no end of difference, and I'm sure Whitaker will be enjoying his football much more this season.

I think playing him in his best position is the real reason.

Really ? Forbes and Togwell take that accolade IMHO

Forbes is up there I agree. Togwell? No. Last couple of games then maybe but he's struggled until Cooks appointment.

Togwell and smith for me (when the latter has been fit)

Togwell has def not struggled, he has been class all season and had 1 bad game that I have seen

[Paul Fisher]

Togwell has been excellent for me, really pleased. He puts a tackle in and generally he times it well, plays the easy ball rather than the Randall ball, but that's why we now have Randall in team.

Why defensive midfielders get so much stick?

In your opinion. I'd be interested to see some substance to the definition of 'class'. He played really well last Saturday and I'll applaud him for that but up until then he's been average at best.

I don't agree.

Spot on.

For me, Danny's ability has never been an issue.

Togwell got off to a slow start, but having said that, with each game he's played there's been gradual improvement.

A good player who's had a very good September & October.

Great player at this level (or the one above) if used in his rightful position. I hope he's now being appreciated for what he does contribute rather than barracked for not putting the boot in which will never be his bag. Love watching him - our creativity suffers alarmingly when he's missing.
