Shackell would be a very astute signing. Looked good for us when he got minutes and was unfortunate that Cooper and Hutchinson had built such a good partnership.

agreed, lack of pace but a very solid option to compete with Bauer and Pearce for 2 spots. Brings more experience and leadership too.
Isn't Chris Baird primarily a Left-Back? - Would keep Lewis Page first choice in that respect
Else we risk our Back Four to get rather aged and slow, means we go back to the days of having Graeme Murty in the side
He used to be mainly right back at fulham/Southampton but can do a job either way. I think he is probably a bit late for me, might do a job still but wouldn't be too happy about it.
Bring back Benty, he would be great for 1/2 seasons!
Agreed, easily take all 3, just the type of players we need with experience.
Would pull out all the stops to bring in Bent, he maybe old now but he would easily do a job in League One. Come home Darren!
Nearly 35. Scored 2 in 15 for Burton?
Not sure this is what we need.
2 in 15 for a struggling Burton side, not great no. But in League One against slow and older centre backs, he could be more than useful and can teach a thing or two about scoring goals to the other strikers at the club.
What we lacked this season was experience, physicality and a goal scorer. I would bet if Bent played 30-40 games for us next season he would get double figures for sure.

If Bent played a whole season 30+ games he would get min 15 imo 1 in 2, even if his pace isn't there he will always be a goalscorer. Just need to find players who can create chances, wouldn't suit the lone striker
I’d be gobsmacked if DB comes back to us. 35 is too old in a cloggers paradise league. Playing off the shoulder was always Darren’s forte. Not sure he’s got that yard of pace for that to work now. I think we can and will do better.

Yeah sure we will do better. Dodoo, Ajose, Zyro and Umerah is going to be some quartet

We have new owners coming in. We will never see at least two of those ever again.

Would love to have him back up Dillon. If Dillon falters, he would more than do.
