How would you rank our center backs?

Some very varied replies on here.

Imo, the current squad are demoralised to put it mildly.

Burn tries hard no matter what. Which may account for his better form of late when compared to the others, some of whom are just going thro the motions.

Hutch has some pace when he gets caught out but he is a liability as he uses said pace to launch in and get red carded, (or very close to), on a regular basis. He should not be in our squad imo.

I don't believe you can take a view on this without including the full-backs either tbh.

Richards is going backwards lately. Ream is played at left-back instead of his preferred position. If we had dedicated full-backs who were half decent and regular in the team, our CB's would be fine in a number of variations.
Too many times our defence is alll over the place because somebody is hopelessly out of position and a CB has to come across and cover.

What we need is a leader to take control in the back four imo.
If nobody is stepping up someone needs to be assigned the job by the coaching staff.

Just my two penny worth

COYW!

Stearman- a decent partner for a better defender. Not promotion material
Burn- a decent partner for a better defender. Not promotion material.

Hutch- jury out from me as a squad player but not good enough if we are to kick on.
Ream- not good enough.
Bodurov- not good enough.

Out of 10 I give the 5 of them a collective 5 out of 10.

5 out of 10 would put them middle of the league.  3 out of 10 max in my opinion.  Collective or individual, not good enough.

Good fullbacks don't improve centre backs aerial skills and/or physical strength.

within my 'empire' I have some wanna be comedians who have linked the current crop of ailments to my team. "XYZ has just phoned in with a Fulham away performance" translates to a form of diarrhoea and "he's got one you've got four" equates to a bad back.

On the subject of Stearman the Wolves Exiles in the building opposite brought me a cake when we signed him with a big 'thanks' written across the top. How he became their player of the year astonished them all. I have hated them all this week!

To answer the question. Barely worthy of a score from the basics, to thinking for themselves right up to a 95 minute, 110% performance.
