Lots of talk about them getting forward, pace, putting crosses in etc etc (ditto Lappin if he plays instead of Drury) and their attacking potential.
Well is it me, or shouldn't they be, first and foremost, defenders and be able to defend?
The centre of defence (though Murray looks promising there) is shaky enough without the full backs constantly bombing upfield then having to chase back when teams come at us, leaving loads of space.
I like my defenders to defend, first and foremost, and to get forward as and when necessary. After all, RM and LM are meant to do that, not them.
