Whiteman

[Double J]

OoC 2027 according to the LEP a couple of months ago.

Maybe not then.

Always had this in him, sure he played most of his time under Lowe here injured.
So I was told anyway.

Maybe hes just genuinely fit again with actual decent players around him, rather than trying to carry some shite from Scandanavia.

 

[rich4pne]

Is he playing for a new contract? Or does he have a couple of years.

Sure he’s our highest earner

Whiteman signed a new 3 year contract in 2024! In my opinion, his performances have improved this season due to the higher quality of the players he’s expected to pass the ball to. Long May it continue.

 

[Randall Flagg]

He's a player reborn this season. Exactly what I always hoped he would be.

Isn’t this season the first time in three seasons that he’s had a full pre season? That can make a big difference, especially if a player is constantly carrying a niggle. Let’s hope he can stay clear from injury.

I must admit, it wouldn't have bothered me if Whiteman had left at the end of last season. However he's proving me wrong this season, keep up the good work Ben.

Having better players around him make a huge difference.

It is allowing him to do what he does best.

I am the first to admit I thought he would struggle to get in the starting eleven but like the rest of the lads who remained from last year has stepped up to the plate.

The step up from several of last season's squad has been remarkable. Storey looks a top end championship player, Hughes has gone up a level, Whiteman has been superb. I'd even say Gibson looks improved from an already high bar. I'm assuming it's a combination of good coaching and more quality on the pitch / bench to push them on. I was in the same boat as you regarding Whiteman but he's been a revelation this season.

 

[BPIG]

He’s always had the technical ability. Glad he’s finally got his fitness sorted out and we’re seeing the player he can be. Been outstanding so far this season.

 

[Roytrunks]

Player of the season so far imo. So pleased for the guy given the stick he’s taken (some of which he’s deserved)

 

[Pnebraddy87]

credit where credit is due, been brilliant so far.

Big shout but possibly the best midfield squad wise in the league….. throwing it out there!

[Pennyhome]

Insane turnaround from Ben , long may it continue

 

[potsie66]

Think his interview with George Hodgson today says a lot of how the last couple of years under Lowe felt.
Been outstanding so far

 

[Yeti]

To thrive in his position you need options ahead of you which he now has and is delivering on his part. Long May it continue

Got no idea how to attach them!. Can just about open my emails lol. Think it was on LEP twitter feed. 👍

He's had a few very good games, but overall not let us down this year.

I still think he has a lot to prove to be remembered fondly, but he's contributing this season and long may it continue.

 

[Ooh David Eyres]

He needs to put his laces through the back when he shoots. Most of his shoots are like gentle back passes

Jason Euell needs to do some work with him….

 

[Doyler]

It wouldn’t be a particularly long study session. He had a poor couple of months last season, when the rest of the team were also poor.

The “he’s a league one player and the worst captain we’ve ever seen!” shouts were overly emotional guff at the time, and just pure comedy now.
