Derby boss Warne: Spurs midfielder White will learn from penalty conceded

Tottenham loanee Harvey White had a tough outing with Derby County this week.

The 21-year-old midfielder only managed 24 minutes from the bench in a 1-1 draw against Bristol Rovers.

White gave away a penalty deep in stoppage time to Rovers, which resulted in them netting a late equalizer.

Manager Paul Warne was furious, stating to the Derby Telegraph about White: "He was genuinely upset as I would be if I was a player on loan. Having come on and through no fault of his own given away a penalty, he's probably thinking he's run over a voodoo doll or something. He was visibly upset after the game because you go from not an amazing performance but a win a way from home, nobody cares, get home it's a brilliant three points.

"He feels he has played a massive part in that downfall. I can see why he thinks that because he has in fairness to him. It's the referee's decision but he gave him a decision to make, that's the sad thing. I can see he has been fouled but my issue is further down the pitch when we have a throw-in.

"If you stand near me you might hear me but we had a throw in their final third and let them out too easy. It drives me insane. They hit a diagonal, they get a throw, they recycle it, they cross it, penalty. I left Harvey on Saturday, but I texted him on Sunday to say 'How are you?'

"He said 'Alright gaffer, what do you think I should have done differently?' I sent him the video I have of my angle. It shows he could have maybe got in a position quicker, even though I don't think it's a penalty.

"It's gone now. It's all part of the learning curve. That's why Premier League clubs like sending their players out on loan because they are the educational parts that you don't get in training. He's fine and he's ready to play a part [on Tuesday]."
