Ben Whiteman

So the difference was I thought Kiefer would start up front.

And I think Ben Whiteman's going to start because I just got a feeling off the amount of times that he's played since he's arrived.

I think Phil Parkinson really, really likes him.

So he's a bit more mobile than Matty James.

They've got five points and got minus seven goal difference.

So...

Yeah, I quite fancy a Ben Whiteman goal tomorrow.

I've no idea why, because I don't think he's...

Lewis O'Brien has been in and out, but very, very, very good when he has played in that deeper role.

And then Ben Whiteman, who we got from Preston, is steady.

Just a proper, normal championship player.

You don't even notice he's on the pitch, which in some ways is quite good because you know he's not spraying the ball everywhere and losing it.

I don't know if we need to touch that.

Ben Whiteman, obviously, he did an interview with an independent Wrexham podcast.

If any current North End players want to do an interview with us, feel free to hit us up.

But I'm surprised that actually happened.

I probably did.

Three points at Wrexham.

I'd be playing that clip if I was Greza to the players of Ben Whiteman.

Just that little clip.

It's a Kiefer Moore header.

So it was a beautiful ball from Ben Whiteman, right-footed.

And Kiefer, big chief, big Kiefer rises, heads home comfortably.

It's actually right in the top corner.

Such fine lines.

And you see players like Ben Whiteman go out and, and then come back up-

Yeah

...

They talked about the money put into the club under Paul Heckenbottom, which I felt was very harsh when they didn't really mention that the outgoings largely outstripped that at times, including this summer.

Lost Ben Whiteman, the key in central midfield.

I know Ozmagic had to go for discipline reasons, but he was probably their biggest goal threat.

And we wait to see whether Kenny and Arabi will replace that regularly.

According to the BBC website, Southampton carried the greater threat for much of the game, with Finesse forcing a fine save from Anthony Passan in the opening half.

But they fell behind 10 minutes before half-time, as moments after Callum O'Hare was denied by Daniel Peretz, Moore rose highest ahead, Ben Whiteman's corner, beyond Southampton goalkeeper.

He held up the ball well.

made numerous timely defensive interventions during the game and took his goal in typical fashion.

Southampton without the benefit of spying on Wrexham and so fell down.

to defeat here uh Southampton did dominate uh most of the first half but kept wasting opportunities uh eventually uh Ben Whiteman's corner found Kiefer Moore who powered a header in James Ward-Prowse uh level just after half time uh he was pretty good here he's actually been pretty good in general I think actually since his return to to Southampton um But it was the 89th minute when Okomi, who has been very good for Wrexham since he signed, got down the left, put a ball across, and Schlotterbeck unfortunately puts it into his own net after some pressure from Callum O'Hare, who has looked pretty good, pretty busy throughout.

And it's the first home league win of the season for Wrexham.

Obviously, Wrexham had a lot less possession previously, but they also had a much, much lower XG.

I thought he was tremendous.

Ben Whiteman alongside him.

That's a new partnership, but you can make the argument for him.

O'Hare and Windus behind Kiefer Moore.
