Is he carrying an injury? I don't see any other reason for not playing him.

Except for the last fifteen minutes, again, I thought that we were lucky to get away with a draw. Blues wasted quite a few decent chances plus the penalty. I think that's three missed against us already this season. Midfield appears to be the biggest problem. There's no pace or creativity and much as I 've been a fan of Brunt, he was poor again tonight. Surely it's time to give Field or Harper a chance.

To sum up, many more performances like this and we will not finish in the top six. We need to produce the same form that demolished Stoke in our next two home games.
