Weird one for Whittaker, I was never a fan after watching his performance at Forest in that diabolical league cup tie (where incidentally Sibley was the only player who played well and was dragged off after about 60 minutes...)
But Whittaker then had a run in the side where he started to look like a really promising player, seemed to be gaining in confidence, and then hasn't had a sniff since?!
I understand Rooney is going for solidity right now and for that reason we'll see far less attacking flair in our line ups until we've pulled away from the relegation zone. But it is frustrating to see Sibley in particular only given the back-ends of games to do something.

I've been annoyed at the lack of playing time Sibley has been getting. Especially considering how few goals we are scoring. This lad can create and score as many of his own chances as the rest of them put together. 
Hopefully it's for his development. I've equally been frustrated at Birds lack of involvement. However it's been understandable due to how well Shinnie is doing. When Bird came on against QPR he looked physically bigger and fitter. 
Sibley is above Lawrence in the pecking order for me. Maybe after a few more wins and Rooney is confident a relegation battle is behind us, he'll drop him back in. 
 
 

He's also been given very few minutes considering his ability, in my opinion.
Always irks me when people write off a player who's only being given the ends of games to show what they can do (I don't mean you).
For me Sibley is our best attacking threat we have.

Mbappe and Dembele
Adam Smith for Bournemouth? Technically a starting premier league player, wasnt exactly a star when he was here so doubt anyone would have seen it coming.
