Since we've gone through a fair portion of this season without a full compliment of fit central defenders, SOD has been asked, by two different managers, to fulfill a role that he's not suited to. To me, he deserves to be cut a bit of slack for that. He's come out and done what he was asked to do. I don't think he'd be anyone's first choice central defender, but two managers have decided that he was the best option available to them.
