Whitts at Left Bank?

I'm not sure if it will improve but Andrew Taylor and Bellamy didnt click last night at all. With the amount of time our back four had last night, I think maybe try Whitts at Left Back. It didn't work either with him playing holding midfield, they saw that coming a mile off and pressed straight away as soon as he came back for the ball - but they gave our defence plenty of time on the ball. Put Whitts left back, for him to dink the ball to Bellamy - problem solved.

Depends how good he is with numbers

Bellamy is fine left wing if the opposition doesn't offer a great deal offensively that side, but Bellamy rarely tracks back so the opposition can double up (the hope is that Mutch/Whitts/Gunnar will cover that area). It doesn't help that Taylor is a pretty good offensive LB but struggles defensively.


But it's early days, maybe they will click.

During the Olympics Bellamy played on the Right and looked much more of a threat.

but they gave our defence plenty of time on the ball.

Yep, they had plenty of time to pick their 60-70 yard hoof ball passes!!.

whitts at left back..... terrible idea

I'd like to see whitts playing just behind the strikers he's dangerous in that area, I don't understand why we don't play mutch or gunnar as a anchor player where there comfortable.
