It is very clear that in O'Dowda we do not have someone who could have played in the same team as Whitts.
We seem to have collected a job lot of cast offs and sub-standard players. Name me one that would have been good enough to get in the same squad as Whitts was in.
It's laughable that the standards and the quality of the players that we now have, is so far adrift from that of just twelve or fourteen years ago.
What is also clear, is the drop in expectations and ambition from the fans on here, who now want to get their knickers in a twist over a player who averaged a goal in every twelve league games that he played in.
I find it depressing to see this worshipping of mediocrity so early into the season. Ten games in and the writing is writ large on the wall, what we've got is all that we're going to get. Twenty games in and even Stevie Wonder will be able to see it.
Actually, to make it fair, I'll pick Whitts's 20-goal season, as that's a better example. He shared a squad with: -
Solomon Taiwo
Darcy Blake
Anthony Gerrard
Miguel Comminges
Aaron Wildig
