Most of us like Taf and Forino, but it seems pretty clear Keogh is first name for that centre of the 3 role and that it's between everyone else to scuffle for the other 2 roles.
Based on Bloomfield saying Keogh is coming here to play. Based on him being the only one of the 3 who has been fit for pre season so far. And Based on it being quite unthinkable he'd be put either side with so limited mobility.
I think he will be in until Taff and Forino are up to speed/gone to QPR and then a sub/cup option thereafter but he looked pretty solid (if exhausted) on Saturday.
We definitely have some fantastic depth and talent on the back end of the pitch. I do feel we are going to be defensively solid this season, no matter what happens with manufacturing goals.

Between JJ, Grimmer, Taf, CF-J, Low and Keogh we feel pretty stacked at CB, but i know there's a game coming when most of them aren't fit.
Our strength in depth is very very good. When everybody's fit, at some point this season I predict we will have the strongest bench we have ever had
Based on what? Pre-season games? Debatable for me.

You think Keogh will be bench fodder?
We will soon see I guess.
You can't see Taf being the outside centre back though, it's looked poor before.

@Malone not bench fodder at all I am just assuming the younger players will get first dibs if they are fit.
If he plays every league game I will be more than happy.
Everyone is younger than him though!
I'm not. I'm also not the answer to the centre of a back three.
I do look as knackered as him by the time I reach my seat on a matchday though...
Mind you, yesterday would take some beating when you consider we had Scowen, Vokes, McCleary and Forino amongst the subs.
Yep, difficult to imagine we've had many better benches than that in our history
