Batth does what it says on the tin.......kicks it, heads it, defends with no silky skills! And weighs in with a few more goals than Chester

I'd have taken Wimmer on the bench over Lindsay. The definition of damning with faint praise?

Sorry to hijack the thread. But just got in from a long long days work and gutted to miss match but watched brief highlights. Can I ask, did JM play wing back or did we revert to a back 4 for the 1st time this season? I ask because he was very very advanced for the goal and the studded chance he steered just wide prior to the goal.

Souttar and Collins for me all day, every day. I reckon that we may see this by the end of the year. I can’t see it happening as a two unless injuries or lack of fitness/form forces his hand. When that happens, Collins has to take his chance properly. When Souttar came into the team, he made everything his, he forced himself to stand out. Collins hasn’t yet done that.

Batth has to play over Chester.... Not only is he better in our back line, he also poses a greater theat at the other end!!!

Joint Man of the Match for me along with the quick Brown Fox, who I don’t normally rate, put some good (left a bit in tackles today) but credit where it’s due.

I think you're jumping to conclusions, really. The Millers had very little to offer attacking wise and the central defenders didn't have much to do. You're making it sound as if Batth single handedly kept them at bay. That notwithstanding it's always good for a player to have some sequence going, and Batth won't mind being mister clean sheet. But we've played enough games over the previous 18 months where that was not exactly the case. No, but we work better as a defensive unit with Batth in the side! When was the last time we kept a clean sheet? Oh, the last time Batth was a part of the defence I think! And before that...? You will lose your breath counting the times we didn't keep cleen sheets with Batth in the team. But go on. I also prefer Batth to Chester, but to be honest, what I really prefer is neither one in the team! If we were to continue with a flatback four, then all we need is Souttar and a fit Collins. If we were to revert to a back three, then I'd give Lindsay a chance as lcd.

I really like Batth as I think he is our best defender and trust him more than the others, but I must admit I've been really impressed by Souttar so far too. Those two would be my preferred central pairing if we are going to play two central defenders, if we go for three I really don't care if Collins or Fox is picked as I think both of them are good options. The one thing I really hope is that we have seen the last of Chester in a Stoke kit, but I fear not.

Baath is an OK defender in the Championship, but OK is far better than useless, which Chester is.
