Could have been, but Niven at least added some much-needed backbone to the midfield. I've got tired of saying it months ago; Whittaker is a fine player but not in the melting pot that is central midfield in this division. On the wing, with a licence to roam he's a big asset. Whether he'll be better in Div.1 with a tiny bit less of the physical stuff remains to be seen, but I doubt it.
I agree about Nivo, just playing devils advocate.
I disagree though with Whits best position being out wide, he hasn't got the legs and doesn't do defencive duty's so hows that make him a good wide man?
Whits best position apparently is the one I personally haven't seen him in and thats in the hole, where he doesn't have to tackle or worry defensively (something thats just not part of his game anyway). Him and Allott work well in midfield as long as our wingers are on form or they're not marked out of a game; Yes, this needs addressing in the summer to give us more options in a league where tactics and better defenders will stop our wide men far more often.
We need more options than we've got at present and this will come with some good signings in the summer; but what we need most of all right now is to stick by the players that have got us promoted and on the verge of the Championship.
