WHO IS GOING TO BE OUR BACK PAIRING THIS SEASON.

Lawlor and fish really looked good together last season and i am hoping fish does not get pushed to far back,
but lawlor and osho look to be the best pairing for the championship aa lawlor will not be involved straight away so fish and osho,chambers is to slow for the championship imo.

I think that when all are fit then Lawler and Osho should be first choice with Fish as back up and Chambers as fourth choice.

I think Chambers struggled in the Championship last time.

Ideally I'd like us to sign an experienced, no-nonsense bruiser of a centre half who takes no prisoners.

I'm not sure we need two ball playing centre halves but I think BBM wants everybody to be comfortable on the ball which is fair enough.

On present form and when all fit the Osho and Lawlor for me. Just hope Lawlor is staying

He is just injured which is putting off most offers as they think he is injury prone.

BBM loves a rotation I'd guess it'll be the same this year

Like most positions under BBM I don’t think there is an out & out back two.

We should know our manager rotates frequently in most positions.
