What a ludicrous idea that is.
Apparently there's 5 centre backs at a football club that has got 88 points out of the last 44, conceded one goal from open play in the last 4 league games, reached their highest finish in 20 years and are 6th in the league - but some people wont accept that they're centre backs, even though most of them have played more games at centre back for the club than any other position, because they say they aren't.

If we get through the season and achieve automatic promotion without signing a centre back then I will declare Nigel a God.
The fact that we have only conceded one goal from open play is down to atrocious finishing particularly by Carlisle along with some good play by our recognised centre half. It is not down to our defence being super efficient. In respect of gaining 88 points that is not in the same season and has got us precisely nowhere so far. Additionally we have a different team from last year’s. 6th position is not our stated aim and if we finish there we will have fallen short of our ultimate goal.
We will not be able to judge this point until the season has run it’s course and if you are correct, you may laugh all you want to then. I will not be laughing if I am correct.
Second least shots against in the whole league would suggest otherwise.
