John White

[Jbd2502]

Absolutely superb today! Easily my man of the match in a game where the whole team were excellent! I feel he gets way too much stick on here and not the credit he deserves! Very solid and reliable RB!

Fantastic team performance today today & a well deserved win! UTB!!!

Absolutely spot on, he was immense.

John White is underated by many - good player and captain imo

Absolutely spot on, he was immense.

In that case I wasn't at the same game ...... Don't see he was immense , lost the plot a few times with the ref... People having to pull him away, and where was he for the penalty?.

He may have lost the plot most likely because he was being used as target practice by several of their players and getting no protection from the ref. Lost count of the number of clearances - headed and kicked - that he made at key times.

Because he was out of position? Or just too slow?. Your choice

Thought he was fantastic today, second only to Prosser for me, the way we defended in the second half was hugely impressive, no team is going to get a cheap goal against the mighty Southend

My choice is that he was upfield on the right as we were attacking and a 50 yard hoof from their left back meant Bolger and Prosser , who were giving White cover, were outsprinted by their forward and Bentley came to challenge.

Please don't let your personal dislike of John White extend to several threads.

He gets alot of stick because he doesn't do anything overly exciting, but does his job well. Gets on with it quitely. Unlike say Coker who gets up the wing and is exciting to watch, I think White gets extra stick because people can't understand exactly why he doesn't do the same. Apart from the cross against Stevenage last season I can't remember a stand out white moment, but I can't ever remember him having a absolute stinker either. Good, solid reliable captain.

Glad to hear he's playing well. Roll on Chesterfield.

Made a couple of important tackles today, but then so did most of the team

Could'nt agree more, seems he is respected by his colleagues more than the fans. From memory he came runner up in last years Players player awards. He leads by example with his performances not vocally, some people are fickle in thinking that what a captain does. White is a great professional and is steady week after week.

Get behind the lads or undermine them - 'your choice'

 

[WESTY_SUFC]

Totally agree he was excellent today. Definitely deserves a special mention. Having so much competition for places in the team has really raised a lot of the players games!

 

[wakes123]

I agree what a hero.

Needs to chill out and not get sent off because it's possible? But what a legend.

I thought I would come on here and whine about our club captain because we have lost 6 of the last 7 games and are sitting precariously in the table...............


Oh wait !

 

[RobB11]

Solid no frills kind of player. Definitely worthy of a place in the 11 right now. Keep it up John!

 

[lombard]

A really solid performance versus Barnsley.Very underrated by some.Could go on for another few years yet.Well done "Whitey".

I have always liked John White. Last week v PV and yesterday both showed how valuable an asset he is to the defence and the whole team. A bit like Barrett, who also gets some flack, JW is a consummate professional, who is reliable week in week out, and makes a fantastic captain. Again, probably man of the match yesterday!
