Rams fans don't rate centre backs!

Unfortunately, Keogh is one of those players for whom a disaster is waiting to happen. Plays solid enough for most of the match but to achieve that he is having to work flat out, he can't play within himself so inevitably the high stress levels he works at mean an error is waiting to pounce!! When they do he hasn't got an extra 10% left over to recover so bang ...ball in onion bag!
Pearce is much the same except he has'nt got enough vision to control his field of play and cover others.
Now Shackell is an enigma, we know he can play but since his return he's not been good enough end of. Whether it's injuries or what I don't know but not convinced by him.

I thought Shackell was pretty good in his first season mac and having been a Premiership captain it seemed strange that he was never given the opportunity seeing as Clement passed it round at least three other players. Last season he went awol...bad attitude in the early part of the season and then lost his place. Good player but past his best and question marks over his attitude imo.
