After last nights performance by our defence is there still anyone who thinks Batth and Hause are good enough for us.
Bringing in 2 CB's is our priority followed by a LB and CDM before this Talisca or another attacking player. Useless the pair of them, they would be top league one players now, maybe top championship players in a few years but if we've got any ambition to go up then we need to move fast this window and sort out centre defence out.

Bath is just a standard center half. no pace . ball watches and can't mark for toffee.2 games 2 coners and the ball was dead center each one. now should be there 4 me.

I think Danny will be fine, he is a super young man, but he needs help, he needs to work alongside a much more experienced central defender - he is still learning. The senior central defender should be skipper not Danny. This person will need to be an experienced international player who will have the respect of the new super stars about to join - but who / don't ask me. Ask Walter et al.

Put like that can't argue. I do think Danny is good, and Hause, and they do deserve our support, it's just a question of whether they are at the right stage of their development / career for what we need right now.
If Walter (a top goalie so you'd think he would know if our defence is strong enough or not) thinks we need to get some more developed central defenders in to help then I totally support that.

Batth is a good player but really does need experience around him as he too often gets caught out covering less experienced players (Hause/ Iorfa) . When he played alongside Ricketts he really looked the part.

Maybe a lot like Roger Johnson when he had Scott Dann next to him? Though Danny has the advantage of not being a nob like Roger was, Danny genuinely cares so we should about him too, even if we conclude we do need someone more developed, we should still respect him and his dedication / loyalty / desire and hope the best for him. No need to knock him down even if we do need someone who can do more.
