There is always talk of having a slow back line. How many teams do not suffer from the same thing in this league? I thought all defenders tended to be a bit slow and pacy wing backs are expensive.
True that. A few CBs do spring to mind though - particularly Wes Morgan who looked immense last season at the Amex.. And I believe that Forest signed one from Celtic that's pacey - but you're quite right, pace at the back (that can defend) does fetch for around £2m. Fullbacks particularly are an area that I personally believe you can effectively develop quick young players into, and it's a bit of a bugbear of mine that we don't have any young fullbacks that we can bring in (apart from Maksi who we bought last season). @Icy Gull, we were so spoilt by Bridge last season, his contribution towards one of the meanest defences in the league shouldn't be underestimated.
