Defence

I have always felt that there needs to be a good understanding between centre-backs - as there was between Fleming and Jackson, and then Fleming and MacKay. It didn't seem to me that there was much of an understanding between Fleming & Charlton, Fleming & Doherty, Fleming & Shackell. So it worries me more than a little that Worthy's thinking always seems to be Fleming & Mr X. Why not, for example, Doherty & Charlton?
