Good on him. He's a good defender.

I like him a lot.  Very solid and can play it out from the back

I'd prefer him to play defensive midfield.

Me too andysly, I was thinking the same when we were struggling for cover in that position.

Great opportunity to throw him in this season, he is definitely good enough for this league that's for sure. Drop Keegan to the bench or let him go all together. Just have LM do what Keegan has this season only his distribution will be better. Im guessing he will be able to get around the pitch a bit quicker also

Not sure I agree with that. Keegan was very good in most games last season and proved he could hack it in the championship. He will piss league 1 this season.

Not saying Luke McCullough wouldn't either, just think Keegan is worthy of more than just dropping/getting shut of.

I'm looking forward to seeing him in league one next season but all this about dropping Keegan an putting him in midfield is ridiculous. How do you know he's going to take to midfield he's obviously doing well at centre half for club and his country by getting called up to the senior squad so keep him there for the time been.

I hope he gets some game time before Suarez is subbed, but even so it will be great experience for him.

looks like he won't get a chance against Suarez as Uraguayan has his injured his knee

Bad news for the tournament though Dare,in the World cups it's great if all the top players are fit
I know what your saying though it should be easier to face them without him,but it doesn't always work out like that.

Yes I do hope he is fit for the rest of the World cup just not when we play Uruguay!
