Favorite central defence?

Who do you prefer? I would go for Keogh and Shotton at home and Keogh/Buxton away. Shotton have more pace than Buxton and as we tend to push more forward at home we need more speed at the back.Who do you want to play?

I think Keogh and Shotton are the strongest partnership.

Keogh and Buxton. They are the best at playing out from the back which is so important to our game.

Shotton doesn't look comfortable at left centre back. If Keogh was out for whatever reason, I'm sure he'd be great there, but he isn't a LCB. Whitbread lacks the composure to play out from the back, which is a huge problem in our system.

Exactly this. It's like my thoughts were recorded as I read the original post.

And same for me. Bucko far better with the ball than Whitbread. Shotton always looks nervy playing left sided which is no surprise as he is naturally right sided. He will be perfect if Keogh is out and can do a job I am sure at RB if needed
