It’s hardly over guys. Looking forward to the implosion as they go down this season.

You can almost see him thinking, ‘so thats the little squirt who thinks he’s taking my place’.

A different kind of pasty
Confirmed by a 95th minute Ben White screamer from 30 yards to give us a 1-0 win on 1st May 2021

See the match?
Can't reject a manager who hasn't signed a contract. But goddamnit they'll try, bless 'em.
He'll have walked well before that happens. He won't stick around for a relegation battle. If they don't sign the players he feels would keep their heads comfortably above the parapet he'll be off before they've even started.

Now that the ignorant of Yorkshire have grasped the meaning of N and O when joined together in a word, we can give armchair quality opinions about how good BW is relative to our other defenders. The hype suggests he should be starting against Chelsea, possibly on his own in a back 1, I think it is more likely he is competing for the 3rd cb spot of sub/in a back 3. Assuming Dunk and Webster are ahead of him, that leaves BW competing with Veltman, BDB (assuming he isn't still moonlighting out on the left) then whoever else is still in the squad out of Clarke, Duffy and Østigård bringing up the rear. So at this point in time he is an important member of the squad but not guaranteed to be on the pitch or even on the bench. Of course Potter now has 3 weeks to make his own decisions but expect he will instead read this and go with it.

Peering into my crystal ball, Reckon he'll be on the bench for the opener.
Almost guaranteed - he'll be gently and steadily integrated into what is a MUCH HIGHER standard of football (for the benefit of any lingering Northerners still lurking on here). So pleased he'll have Dunky next to him when he does start. Fantastic news.
If we haven't bought a new striker by then, Potter might start him as centre forward! We know he can score.

Nah, we like little guys up front. So that is Lamptey CF and Ben RWB then.
I'm getting used to expecting the unexpected with GP's selections now. Therefore, I fully expect Ben White to start the Chelsea game in goal.

That's also part of the last chance saloon delusion being perpetrated on WACCOE this afternoon. As the window closes 3 weeks after season opener and as White may start on bench, they can push him to hand in a transfer request before deadline and guarantee him a start. Yep, that's the latest fantasy!

The other is that Lewis Dunk 5 year contract means that White cant possibly be selected -I mean, its simply ludricous. I live just outside Leeds and I sweated on ensuring my daughter got into one of the very few good schools. You can see the effects of a poor education around these parts - especially south Leeds where most of the thickest and thuggish element of Leeds fan come from.

It wouldn't surprise me if
Ben started as defensive mid
with The new dutch guy, Webster and Dunk behind.

Not seen such Bravery!
They have spent the past year convincing themselves that if they go up they'll sign White.
It's pretty difficult to take I suppose when the harsh reality doesn't agree.
