David Wheater wins club's October Player of the Month

David Wheater has won the Bolton Wanderers Player of the Month award for October.

Since appearing as a half time substitute in the opening game of the month against QPR, the big defender has gone on to feature in every minute of first team action throughout October.

Wheater played a key role in helping Wanderers to a clean sheet in front of the Sky Sports television cameras against Preston North End.

“It’s nice to be recognised, but all that matters right now is improving as a team,” Wheater told bwfc.co.uk.

“There is a belief amongst the lads that one result will set us away and hopefully that’ll come this weekend against Bristol City.”

I'm not really sure how any player can win October's player of the month with  those results!

Especially a defender!!!

Probably been the player that's played a bit less shit than everyone else I would say.

they should have scrapped this for October, they were all crap

Wheater looked his usual self but at present that's above par for the rest of the team. Always thought he was reckless and lumbering but in the light of our position and current squad, I'm really glad he's still with us nowadays.

I'm always surprised by fans negative view on Wheater when he's on top of his game id have him up there as one of the best in the division.

That division being the third one, presumably?

Whenever he's managed to stay injury free for more than a few games he's been solid, shame about the utter tripe he's had to play alongside.

Would be a very good defender if he could run

Never rated him but better than fucking dervite.

Long John Silver in a onesie is better than Dervite.

I've told this story on here before but it bears retelling to back up these claims.

At the Rotherham away match last season I was at the front and could hear what the players were saying and Dervite (after having been run ragged for half an hour by "his man") was begging Matt Mills to swap sides in the middle of our defence and Mills finally agreed.

He was basically saying I can't cope with him.

Some bloke playing for the mighty Rotherham.

Who were as shit as us but still ran out winners on the night.

Because Mills couldn't cope with him either.......
