⚽ Match Thread vs. Newport County 29.03.25 [EFL L2]

[OP67]

Whitaker was written off fairly early on but what if he's is actually pretty good? He's affecting the outcome of games regularly.

Not by me, you could see he hadn't played for a while and needed time. The way he took the his 2nd yesterday was pure class, excellent all round goal.

When people play badly, they get criticism, when they play well, they get praise, that's just the way it works. The glass half-empty view says he's only on a short-term contract and Jarvis is on 3 years.

On that showing we need to get him tied down on a longer deal...

Quite agree, yet we don't know if it was us or him who only wanted the 6 months deal

Whitaker got off to a great start at Notts, scored a crucial couple of goals and looked a real threat.
Then he had an alarming dip. It was more than just a bad couple of games, because I've rarely seen a player so frequently dispossessed and muscled off the ball and this threw his whole game off.

Since then, I believe the coaching staff must have stepped in to help him out, adding to his own resolve. Teams would've been targeting this but we got him back on track and he's an important player for us - the type that could score a winner in a play-off game. Credit to Charlie and the coaches,
