Vote: who should partner Nathan Smith in central defence?
The considered opinion is that it’s between Danny Pugh and Ben Purkiss as to who will partner Nathan Smith for the next two games.
With Remie Streete injured and Kjell Knops suspended, Vale have Nathan Smith as their sole recognised central defender.
Opinions differ as to whether Danny Pugh should drop back from central midfield or Ben Purkiss move over from right-back.
