Not entirely sure why everyone is dropping Whitmore, the only one of the centre backs who didn't make a mistake for a goal.

Apart from their equaliser of course where he gave their attacker about a week to pick his spot 🤔

How you can put any blame on Whitmore for that goal is beyond me.

Who exactly was Whitmore marking when their guy strolled in to collect the ball and score?

It was a central midfielder making a good run from deep, something hard to mark as Disley showed on many occassions. The real issue was Davis not moving along to help Clifton who was left in a 2 v 1 situation at the back post. If he does that, they potential don't win the knock down. Coincidentally, it was also Davis who lost Doidge for his headed goal from the corner, and was by far the worst of the back 3.

Just the way I saw it live mate that's all... Happy to be proven otherwise. It just seemed their man was left in acres of space and Whitmore was the closest covering defender..... It seems the guy had a good few seconds to lick his spot whilst Whitmore stood and watched... In reality it it probably wasn't that long but seemed an age at the time.

I actually though Whitmore was pretty solid otherwise but I've put Davis in my time as he seemed to be the better distribution and MJ seems very keen on playing out from the back. Whitmore strikes me as a no-nonsense destroyer type centre-half whilst Davis is a bit more cultured and technical. The reviews from St Mirren were outstanding so he perhaps just need a few games to get his rhythm in the side.

I really do like the look of Famewo though, he looks a proper modern centre-half, strong, quick, technical and athletic.... I just can't see Collins getting dropped though (not that he deserves it after one dodgy game).

All being said, centre half look one of our strongest areas but they'll obviously need time to develop partnerships and an understanding.

I agree Famewo looks good, but like you said, they all need to develop partnerships so I imagine we'll see the same back 3.

Maybe not but during the game he made the wrong choices and played far too many long passes for me, but everyone deserves a second chance though.
