But he is undroppable at the moment. He is the only one in midfield with an ounce of calmness and a midfield of Gunnarsson and Adeyemi isn't good enough.
I'm a massive Whitts fan but you may be right. I don't think we have enough creativity without him currently but in a 4 man midfield it simply doesn't play to his strengths.
Where I diagree with you is that I think we should build a team around Whitts to make the best of his talents, at the moment that isn't happening and, frankly, I don't think it will under Slade. The biggest problem is that we're not getting anything from out wide with Noone struggling.
Until we get more creativity in I would suggest that a Whitts/Adyemi partnership would be our best bet as Adyemii can provide tthat drive and dynamism we've been lacking.
