This week, Second Tier Podcast asked Championship fans to pick their ‘best’ back-four out of a select group of players. Fans could choose from one of four right-backs, two of seven centre-backs, and one of four left-backs.
Birmingham City fans quickly flooded the replies, insisting that Kristian Pedersen is the obvious choice at left-back. The full-back has played 31 matches in the Championship this season, scoring four goals and recording two assists. He also boasts an average WhoScored rating of 7.17 for his efforts this term. Here are some of the replies from BCFC fans making their case for Pedersen’s inclusion:

Is Kristian Pedersen the best left-back in the Championship?
Yes
No
What do we think?
After looking at the replies from other fans, there are quite a few non-Blues who also picked Pedersen in their dream defensive lineup. That is a credit to the Dane, who has recorded three Man of the Match performances on WhoScored already this season.
