Have we got a better centre half at the club right now?

It is JH's height that is a problem for me when playing as a CB. We saw evidence of that yesterday when he struggled to head away a ball and just headed it backwards into the danger zone in front of goal. He is just a square peg in a round hole, something that we thought NC was trying to avoid. We need a specialist and commanding CB who can also organise the defence and JH isn't that player. We should have been signing that specialist CB rather than the likes of Garbutt, where we already had plenty of cover.I think expetita is fine, I worry about Nottingham, but I would prefer Husband in the central role, suits him much better than as a left back,
Ducking out of a tackle is unforgivable for a CH. I would be surprised if we see Nottingham again any time soon. Too many players had an offday today but Gillingham were a disgrace, falling over at every opportunity, wasting time at every throw-in and goal kick and taking it it turns to feign injury.
Agree TP. Really don't understand that kick off routine. Considering we're a possession based team. Obviously under orders but maybe another reason we're starting games on the back foot.But at the end of the day they had a comfortable 2-0 win. Instead of moaning about the opposition we need to learn to improve our own game management. Every team is going to play this way against us and what we need to learn to be better.
The biggest thing for me is how we start games and I really don’t understand why us and other teams feel the need to hoof it to the left wing at kick off. Why can’t we just keep it and knock it about the team instead of surrendering possession so easily.
