Soft Under Belly

Peter Whittingham starting CM. That is your weak under belly.

Despite his ability (when he decides to show it) you cannot play Whittingham CM in a 4-4-2 (and you cannot play 4-4-2 Away!)

Other than the occasion half tidy set piece he's nothing more than a roundabout for the opposition to run around.

Absolutely correct. However, I believe his inclusion has more to do with Scott Young than Russell Slade. The same for Guerra and Daehli's absence. After last night's debacle I hope Slade becomes more hands on in team selection and I expect positive changes for Birmingham. Fingers crossed for Adeyemi
