My back 4 would be:
Colin/L-J Shacks Colin??/new CB Charlton
Havn't seen Colin as CB so don't know about him. If he's not up to it then we need a new CB and play him at right back. L-J looks OK and worked well with Marney but again not seen enough yet.
Shacks is our best CB - wins everything in the air, has more pace than the others and doesn't give away fouls all the time.
Drury is a good defender at this level but is lacking when it comes to going forward/passing - very good back-up left back though. Charlton is the only player in our team who is an experienced premiership player, consistently playing for Bolton and loved by the Bolton fans (POTS) who were sorry to see him go. Other than a bad game played out of position at right back, he hasn't done much wrong as a defender and is better going forward than drury.
