Fellow engine-room man Whiteman had his name taken against Huddersfield, Peterborough and Swansea.
In the Swansea game, there were yellow cards too for Daniel Johnson – skippering the side in the absence of Alan Browne – and substitute Scott Sinclair.

North End’s midfield welcomed a new addition on deadline day, with Ali McCann joining for a £1.2m fee from St Johnstone.
McCann is a player who likes to put in a tackle, with him booked eight times in Scotland last season.
