Ben Mee and Kevin Long, I believe.
Got me wondering how many times they have actually played as a central defensive pair.
Anyone have the stats?

I'm going to have a guess:
11 times

6

Amazing. I actually thought it might be less.

They've started four games together when Ben Mee has been at left back, but as a central defensive partnership it is 7 games - all of them last season

Spurs (h)
Man U (a)
Huddersfield (a)
Newcastle (a)
Man City (h)
Swansea (a)
Southampton (h)

Them games CT mentioned we didn't win one. Let's hope never start a game together again

7 + 4 = 11. I guessed right! Sometimes I amaze myself, I guess I must absorb the stats by osmosis or something!

But the question wasn't how many games have they started together, it was how many they've played together and they've played together more than 11 times.

Hey, come on be generous. Still, it's not too bad.

But we only lost 2 and, I seem to recall, it was when we were going thru a serious injury crisis where the team picked itself
