I thought Fielding did OK on loan last season. Why isn't he at a higher level?

Wright is proving to be good enough and then we have Luke and Craig who know this league well enough. Save the money and bring in Houghton imo 😀👍Alcock isn't good enough, he's not played well for 12 months. Luke isn't fit and when he is fit he will only play centre half now if we are absolutely desperate, he will fight for the holding role.He needs to work on his distribution if that's where he sees himself playing IMHO. Too many loose passes in the Hartlepool game as an example.

Nobody should be a guaranteed a starting place anywhere

Ferguson won't sign anyone that stipulates a guaranteed starting place.
Strange how he persisted in playing Calder and Grant even though they weren't performing very well, Mason and Houghton played well so deserved to be picked each week but I still have my doubts DF says a lot of things sometimes which turn out to be not quite the truth

Back on topic, the Daily Star today has a piece with DF saying he is puzzled why some fans were doubting Andy Butlers capability to do the business in L1 and that he is cooling his chase for a new CB.

We have historically not been blessed with good luck where defenders are concerned, you've only got look at Jones who until he came to Rovers didn't have day off and gets injured once and it was down hill from there on . We lost the same two defenders last season and we list Butler for the odd game . So I think one more would make sense , yet it seems unlikely perhaps due to constraints on the wage bill.
