As Plymouth prepares to play Leeds United on Saturday, Morgan Whittaker was cited by Plymouth Live as claiming that he has always wanted to play at Elland Road due to the stadium’s atmosphere.
This season, Whittaker, 22, has been a star for Plymouth. It follows a season in which they were promoted to the second division while spending the first part of the previous campaign on loan at Plymouth. Last term, 31 games.
In that time, he contributed to 16 goals, scoring nine and setting up seven. For a summer transfer cost of £1 million plus add-ons, Plymouth attempted to recruit Whittaker from Swansea, who will play 16 more games this season.
He has contributed three assists and seven goals in that time, including a hat-trick in a 6-2 victory over Norwich. He is undoubtedly the danger guy in Plymouth. He talked prior to the journey to Elland Road on Saturday.
Whittaker told Plymouth Live, “It’s always been a stadium that I really wanted to play at, ever since I was at Derby and they played in the play-offs against Leeds.” “The ambiance is excellent there.
So I’d like to have a hands-on experience. Their squad appears to be that of a Premier division team, but we have proven that we are capable of competing with the best in this division. It’s important to start the game strong on Saturday.
Morgan Whittaker of Plymouth renders a decision regarding Leeds United.
There are increasing indications that championship players approach Elland Road believing they are in a cup final. Leeds is a large fish in a smaller body of water. Still, in order to escape it, we must give it everything we’ve got.
Despite Whittaker‘s form and potential threat, winning at home against teams like Plymouth is what will propel a team to promotion. A victory is crucial since Leicester defeated us and Ipswich is in danger.
