We can only work with what is said............

No defender? thats a big suggestion!

He is an average defender in this division, nothing more or less.

By error-free I clearly meant the opposite of error-prone, as opposed to never ever having made a mistake...

No defender has made more mistakes than Bellusci - wootton made two in two games earlier this season and everyone was howling at him in derisory! Bellusci does it all season and he's still mentioned as a possible future top centre back in this division?! Absolutely no chance hope he goes in the summer, if he had the potential to be a top centre back teams would be interested in him. We'd struggle to get any kind of decent fee for him if we sell him.

we'll never get promoted with him at the back...if there's one thing leicester have shown, you don't need the world's best centre backs to win games, just solid, team-working, error-free centre backs

was listening to city last night while doing the Ironing (Rock n Roll!) they have a defender that appears to do more wrong than Bellusci most matches.

no such thing as error free players.

Absolve? That's a bit strong don't you think? He made errors, just like everyone of our defenders has this season. Still, he's the best we got for the time being.

not really costing us much right now...maybe 15th instead of 13th in the league...hopefully he learns. If he can cut out the errors (and giving away the pen was really an error) then he will be a top CB in this league. I'd suggest the coaching is at fault
