Why are some players slaughtered a the first opportunity whilst others seem immune from the critics?

Sedge has been attacked for a couple of poor games and a drop in form.

I was shocked when simon Whaley was given the MOM at the last home game he has also suffered a drop in form in the last few games and yet no one suggests he gets dropped. I do not think either player should be dropped at the moment.

Form flucuates during any season. I am sure both Sedge and Whaley will be back on form soon we should get behind all the players not take the first chance to have a go.
 
some fans just like to be critical (as is there right) A-HEM - NOT MENTIONING ANY NAMES BUT YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!🙄
there are some players (because of past exploits) who always seem immune to criticism though, this annoys me!

for me, sedge has had a great season - but has played poorly the last two games, I prefer to support who ever pulls on the shirt (even if its Andy Smith wearing it😀 ) shame more fans don't share that view - hayho that's the fickle nature of the football fan for you

Couldnt agree more. Aggy has equalled his goals from last year (good enough for 2nd top) in about 8 starts, and has porvided us with moments of breathtaking poise and skill, yet he gets a pasting.

easy targets:

Aggy
Sedg
Chilvers
Smith (but richly deserved)
Hill
Neal
dichio

can do no wrong:

nuge
whaley
ssl
grezza (=legend tho)
 
Whaley has been piss poor the last 2 or 3 games, the reason why I think he shouldn't be dropped is because he is a player who can be having a stinker then change the game in an instant. When whaley plays well we usually win.

Spot on Spy - you only have to read Nugent's article after we went top to see that players don't react well to booing. If you see someone trying their heart out for us, get behind them. A little encouragement goes a long way.
 
When was the last time that Simpson changed the team when not forced to (i.e Injury, Suspension)?

He seems to of found his 'perfect line-up' and is intent on sticking to it.
 
if a player isn't dropped then they wouldn't have the same drive as someone trying to get into the starting line up. we're a team in the top two, we need players performing every game. changing the team will let people know no one is safe.
