Two brothers from Holmewood .........? Dunno how you avoided both being in a fight so far.
It sounds as though Whitmore is doing a good job at left back BUT I do think this might be the time to drive Dancing mental, try GC's three at the back when it has a chance of working with Nelson on the right, Maguire in the centre and Whitmore on the left. Then whilst Talbot is unfit we have Barry/Weir at right wing back and Binnom-Williams/Smith/Kellett at left wing back.
The big trouble with the whole system, as no doubt Dancing will point out, is that when it works the wing backs strengthen both defence and attack, when it doesn't work both defence and attack struggle - as Chelsea have found. And you end up with two players not really knowing where they should be playing.
When I read criticism of JBW, some of which maybe he even deserves, I can't help wondering how much more of a left back he'd have looked with Sam Clucas in front of him.
