True. He should be more effective today, as long as we have enough of the ball with our threadbare midfield.
Bonne is a strange selection if he's not going to play off Dykes in something like 4 1 3 2. Look very exposed to the counter though in that formation eith only Cameron holding.
I assume they’re banking on Birmingham being as negative as they have been under Karanka. If Birmingham are bold and commit numbers forward we’re in trouble I think but Karanka, as Clive puts it, is the footballing anti-Christ.
It's been a while since we've started with 2 up top. I think it must be a 4132 since I wouldn't put Chair as a normal central midfielder and Cameron isn't exactly onne either (for the opposite reasons).
