Never hides,  just stays on the ball for too long and that is where he makes his mistakes.  The only player of suitable standard we have though to cover that position just in front of the back four.

That is true and you could say the same of Snodgrass. If we allow the opposition to press us and then play too deep, any midfielder in this division will be found wanting. The spirit is willing but they don't have the chops.

Snodgrass is limited, thats the major difference.  Whelan needs some credit having to play  in front of Samba at the moment, its not as if  he is being spoon fed.

Snodgrass hasn't been to good has he? Feel a bit for Whelan tbh

Whelan had a brain close down for one moment today, that cost us big, but up to then and to be fair afterwards he still did a decent job, he will never get much attention for what he does right, only for what he does wrong, he is our water carrier, problem being we do not have anything that he can pass the water onto.

Actually, we have Jack.

The problem then is that he has no-one to pass the ball onto; literally, for the first hour yesterday!

Just listened to Stevie's post Sunderland comments. He said Whelan's calf injury is 'nasty' and he could be out for 'weeks'.

To be fair, Whelan should be third choice behind Jedi and Thor anyway.

For Wolves I hope he goes with the latter, we need the legs.

Midfielders the lot of them together don’t amount to much no matter which ones play

1st match of season was fit willing and able . I think he was a great performer and used wisely plays the part well . However Bruce must also leave him out when necessary and be ruthless with the midfield at times this season

Agree

Starting with Wigan at home where bjarnason should play - assuming he's still here
