    Good. Moore has established himself as first team material and we have St. Ledger as back-up.

    New manager will be Steve Maclaren apparently.

    @SkySportsPeteO: Leicester defender Zak Whitbread set to join Derby County on loan. #lcfc #dcfc

    That would leave us light at the back with St. Ledger always being injured

    Nigel must have faith in Miquel and Wisalewski to step in

    Whitbreads contract runs our at the end of the season so his days are numbered by the looks of things

    I think you've put you finger on it there. Pearson obviously saw enough from these two to think that Whitbread is now fifth choice. Wisalewski was particularly impressive against Derby.

    I thought Wisalewski was a right back though

    Can he not play CB? I don't know much about him but he looks like he could do a job there. Looking at his stats it looks like he has an eye for goal which might be why he's preferred at fullback.

    Can we not recall Whitbread if we need him?

    How long is St Ledger out for?

    ... made his name as a right back but has played more as a centre-back in recent times (as I believe I read)

    Whitbread can be recalled after the first 28 days

    St. Ledger is already back and he played for the under 21's last week. He wont be rushed into the first team after his last 18 months injury wise. I think after the international break he will start competing in the first team again

    At this minute I would say Liam Moore has been playing better then Wes Morgan so both are pretty much undropable

    @OfficialFOXES 4m
    #LCFC defender Zak Whitbread has joined @dcfcofficial in a three-month loan deal - http://bit.ly/15Fm6Zf

    So that Danns and Whitbread off the wage bill for 3 months or at least some of their wages

    Could be a good move for all parties.

    We've obviously got Was, Wes, Moore and SSL ahead of him but he's clearly a solid centre half at Championship level.

    I've only just realised how much strength in depth we have in defence. To have Whitbread (who was considered to be one of the better defenders in the league a few years ago with Norwich) as 5th choice, we're alright.

    We're just lacking a striker and a winger IMO.



    GOALKEEPERS - Schmeichel/Logan

    RIGHT BACK - RDL/Moore/Wasilewski

    CENTRE BACK - Morgan/Moore/Wasilewski/SSL/James

    LEFT BACK - Koncheskey/Schlupp/Bakayogo

    WINGERS - Knockaert/Dyer/Schlupp

    CENTRAL MIDFIELDERS - King/Drinkwater/James/Hammond/Danns

    STRIKERS - Nugent/Vardy/Wood/Schlupp/Hopper

    Look at him.

    I left him out for good reason.

    When he gets in shape then he gets into the side.

    He has a footballer's brain though. Like that other one-time porker, Andy Reid.
