Just to be clear, I don't think he's good enough to be playing regularly for a decent Championship side, but in our position of having strikers who don't score I think his set pieces warrant his selection. Unless, as others have suggested, he already knows/has been told his future lies elsewhere...
Apologies if I missed this over the past couple of days, but is he injured? He certainly isn't the most dynamic central midfielder but with our strikers who seemingly can't score for toffee and our centre back being our top scorer surely he should be playing for his set piece ability alone...
