Glenn Whelan - Released

Our best player against Hull, but I wouldn't start him at home.

[footyskillz]

Yes I agree today v wigan a more dynamic approach needed however I feel Bruce will play with whelan today .

I think he might get this Ipswich  game again away from home

Feel he started season well

[Matt Collins]

Yeah I'd have thought so

But he played against Yeovil with bjarnason and jedinak rested so I'd assume it's one of them

[footyskillz]

Another solid performance by Whelan and does what he does .

Worked well in midfield with the Mcginzemann or Mcginesta however we call him .

[PaulWinch again]

Did well tonight.

[Three Spires Villa]

He played really well last night, fair play to him.

[AV82EC]

Has he got two games a week in his legs though? Good performance tonight up to 70 mins when he seemed to tire. I’d have no hesitation in playing Thor on Saturday.

Whelan was excellent last night.
He has suddenly become far more positive with his passes being made quicker and (mainly) forwards.

I wish he was brave enough to shoot though. He was in a great position twice in the second half and backed off.

This midfield set up Jack and Mcginniesta suits him though.

[GarTomas]

Has the passing for me to play at the base of that midfield 3.  Always looks better when players are given him options.  Gets a lot of criticism for playing back to the defence but often it retains the ball when there is usually no movement ahead of him.

[saunders_heroes]

Excellent again last night.

[garyshawsknee]

I've moaned about him in the past, but he was really good last night, anticipated their play really well and made some really good passes. Could be important in some away games, but I wouldn't always play him at home against the lesser teams.

Agree with that but I understood why he played him last night and yes, he had a really good game.

[garyshawsknee]

Definitely Clampy, I'd have Brentford as one of the better sides. I wouldn't play him on Sat for example, id bring Hourihane in.

[footyskillz]

I'd play Bjarnasson ahead of Hourihane in a two with McGinn.
