Are we utterly mental?

Okay Banks isn't suspended now, but with Oyeleke out and Dobra having missed games, relying on Clarke's fitness seems a bit foolhardy in view of his record, good player that he is. How many midfielders do we have that we think are better than Whelan?

Yes, he'll get games he wouldn't have had, but we might lose points we would have won ........ and if we don't think he's decent how come we signed him twice?
