I’m just worried that if we don’t play our best defenders against a team scoring for fun it won’t matter how many great crossfield passes or headers from corners they win.

Understood. I think Kitching and Thomas have played a lot more good games for us than the other two and to say the others are our best defenders is based on a VERY small sample size. Either way, our CBs need to do their f*cking jobs, show some fight and take responsibility. PUSB.

15 games to go and we’re still trying to work out what our best centre half pairing is, can guarantee we‘ll go back to kitching and Thomas, if dropping them has given them the kick up the arse they needed then Lampards a genius, if it goes tits up Monday then they’ll be even more questions asked. Latis looked good, deserves to keep his place,

Latis ceiling as a player is limited - If he is the answer, then promotion is not the question

Id argue that but agree on the final sentence.

And kitching and Thomas are ? how many games has he cost us when he’s played ? Not saying he’s the answer but he’s done a job when asked,

It’s just a meme like Dasilva and Haji Wright at this point. No thought needed beyond “it’s Lats” but the fact is for me he’s done a far better job of the core job of a CB than either of the other two when he’s played. I’m not sure only starting 5 games is his fault. He was injured and of course we’re going to keep the team together after the initial good run. But the run has ended and it’s time to look again. Rudoni is similar he was rightly dropped despite on paper being one of our better players.
