He is under contract for another two or three season and Russ has given him the platform to flourish. It is up to him. He has super skills and just has to use them. Martin has freed him to get games. That is all he needs.

He does not looked ruined to me.

Russ is giving Whittaker a blank canvas with no limitations in a lower league on Swansea wages which is £5k+ a week reportedly. if he does not deliver with this talent then it is down to Morgan himself. First thing he needs to do is get in the first team.

He was ruined by Martin,single handedly.You cannot deny that,although you will.
He has real pace and can finish.
how me how many of those players we have

Joseph was our first buy of last season;he was that well thought of. He is now seeing his career on hold and farmed out. His confidence will have been shot to pieces ;it what Martin does to people. Lat night Fisher showed his frail mentality again when under pressure.

Shameful

Why not spread love and happiness? Morgan scored a beautiful goal and can add 45 games to his CV. He was bought as a prospect and could this season make a real name for himself. Schumacher will teach him the defensive fundamentals and commitment needed in league 1 and he will return to Swansea a much better fully rounded player.

Size speed and a soft touch that reminds me of De Guzman.

The only problem with Joseph, he didn't set the world on fire in league one last season and Oxford now is the only gig he can get speaks volumes. I predict he will flop at Oxford. I do think the players Russell is trying shift on are not championship standard

Means nothing,rodon flopped at Cheltenham.. James at Shrewsbury.. its about opinions I get that.but Martin is too stubborn and egotistical to admit he's wrong..

Russell like Rooney and Cooper did not give Whittaker a run. He did not rip up league 1 with Lincoln but is only 21 years but already has quite a few games under his belt. I presume he is not trusted tactically and mentally for the Championship and Millwall on a Tuesday nigh and has more developing to do.

I want to see 45 games 10 goals and 10 assists win that talent. Garrick got 50 games many off the bench 7 goals and 8 assists for the same team.

He wasn’t fancied by either manager since he’s been here. He hasn’t had much opportunity in the first team, but when he has, he hasn’t really forced himself into contention in the way Congreve has.

People look at his late hat trick against Plymouth and his consolation against Man City and possibly judge him a bit more favourably than his overall performances deserve. He had an average season in league one, but is still young and could well harness the potential that convinced us to shell out a relatively big fee.

A lot of the above applies to Garrick too.

decent reply and you make a good point
However,Martin seems to reject a player outright before giving him a real chance
Lati hasnt set any trees alight but he stuck with him in a way he did not with Whits and Joseph.

Both those players could offer something in a way Cullen cannot.

I can’t deny that, especially with Ogbeta.

From what I’ve seen so far of Whittaker though, I wouldn’t be picking him either. A solid season in league one and I’d change my mind.

Lati is defensively sound, but clearly not comfortable attacking. Even without the injury, I’d have expected us to look to bring a more attacking full back in, probably on loan, at the end of the window. We just don’t have as much cover there as we do in Whittaker and Josephs positions.

I’m not sure if Cullen is being kept around in case we get a late bid for Piroe and can’t replace him last minute. My guess is we’d consider any offer for him.

Maybe Resloven is right and they’ve been farmed out to get experience at a lower level in order for them to come back better players ready for the Championship.

Cullen may be being put in the shop window to get out of the door this window.

With Martin however, who knows?

When his name was first mentioned as a possible signing I went onto a Derby site to get their view. Nearly all said the same thing; he’s got very good technical ability but you only see it on rare occasions. I also went onto a Lincoln site quite often to see how him and LC were getting on and again their view was exactly the same, they found him really frustrating. Perhaps it might be worth finding a PA site as the season progresses to get a fuller picture of how his season is actually progressing which might give an understanding of RM’s thoughts on the lad.

The goal looks so easy. Perfect balance with a few shimies. There is a lot there for a good coach to get his teeth into. I he can do it once he can do it 10 times or more.

It was a great run and great strike without doubt and with any luck he’ll be doing it for us next season but he needs to be playing at that level consistently and from what I’ve read he just doesn’t do it. I don’t think you can coach consistency the lad has to work on that himself and if he can then I think he can force himself into the starting eleven and be a real asset.

Yes, very good goal. But consistency is key, how often can they produce these moments over a course of a season. I would still prefer one or two of these kids to be at the club because we are only a couple of injuries away from having nobody left up top, but at this moment in time based on the evidence Whittaker, Joseph, Garrick even Cullen are not championship level.
