4 clean sheets in 9 appearances (44% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (1st of 24) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

  • Ceiling. High potential at just 18 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 51.940000000000005, Whatmuff carries the 1st-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the League One of 23 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
