Keep O'Shea centre half?

Yes from me, even though we suddenly seem well covered again in this position

O'Shea - reads the game and good physical presence
Brown - ditto
Turner - steadier than people think
Bramble - solid
Kilgallon - has stepped up but can't see him getting back in
Egan - commanding centre half for the future
Laing - can play anywhere across the back in a year or two

Despite the options, O'Shea seems much better suited to centre half than right back, so at the moment for me it's him plus one. Thoughts?

Definitely for me

Gives him less time for a shit pass

Yes, him and Brown are our best pairing.

Sounds like we should be challenging for the CL

Yes, play him with Brown

For me its not even for debate

If Turner starts tomorrow, there will be a penalty in the first 20 minutes. Sorry but Sinclair will skin him.

O'Shea is my first choice CB, along with Brown when fit.

oshea should be centre half or on the bench.

Sinclair plays wide left, are you expecting Turner to play right back?

Without a shadow of a doubt. He's been in excellent form, key to our good defensive run, and needs to be in the team. And he's an absolutely terrible full back in comparison. If he gets dropped for Turner or Brown tomorrow it'll be a big error IMO, him and Wes Brown for me.
