Surely the best footballing pair of centre halves we’ve had in many a year. These two are the foundations on which promotions are are built.
Davies/Storey

Fucking class aren't they? Neither would look out of place in the prem

Stupid thing to say, but are they too good in that we might not be able to hang on to them.
I'll take too good though.

I bought shares in Storey, on the football index stock market. I've seen a 60-70% increase on my investment, in a little over a month. Pearson too. (Cool little investment tool, for anyone who's interested in that sort of thing. Check it out)
Davies isn't on there at the moment, or I'd certainly be investing a few quid in him as well.
Bit off-topic, but I thought it's a cool little story (pun intended) - and shows that he's obviously doing something right, and a valuable player, in more ways than one.

Both superb and at times I forget just how young they are.
Storey has been a revelation and Ben Davies will certainly go on and play in the Premier League sooner rather than later and I really hope that’s with us.

I thought they were both poor first half but so good second.

??? kept us in the game first half
How? Gifted them their best chance of the game with some amateur defending, and they took too many touches on the ball. AN was saying so on the touchline.
But they both make it seem so effortless, like they don't even need to break a sweat. In the second half they made two proven Championship strikers look amateur at best. I think Davies will go on to have a terrific career.
Ben Davies was absolutely majestic today a real CB and captain's performance, makes the game look easy.
And because of how good he was I had overlooked Storey who was very good as well, he simply doesn't make mistakes and seems to always be in the right place at the right time, he made a great header in the second half to stop Juk getting a clean header on the ball, body feinted his way out of trouble that left Adams just shaking his head and he also did him for pace as well.
Simply brilliant from both.

I think the emergence of these two as a partnership is the major factor in our good run.
No coincidence that the run stretches back to around the time they established themselves in the team. I have nothing but admiration for Clarke & Hunts but I don’t think we’d have anywhere near the points we have now if they were our centre half pairing

Absolutely. We keep hold of the ball with them at the back and build attacks now.

I did the same a few weeks ago but for whatever reason they have removed them from my portfolio and refunded my £100 that I deposited. Very confused and a bit pissed off as I was at about £20 profit!
Davies is so composed it's a joke, taking the ball down on his thigh and chest with a player about 2 yards away, nearly cost him once near the end though, lucky to get away without a second booking.
agree. Davies battled everytime with that thug of a CF who plays the ball as an alternative to the man....physically far superior to Ben but Davies went with him everytime and beat him the vast majority.... so 1 wind assisted kick went right throw them both, they didnt miss anything else...and kept one of the hottest strikers quiet all game.
