I'd agree; Kevin Long's performances have much improved since his first appearance and he has given much to the team in the way of defensive stability. However he is prone to moments of madness and this has cost the team both goals and points. Even in his more stable performances of recent times (and please correct me if I'm wrong), his shoddy marking granted Morecambe their equaliser and his poor decision making gifted Chesterfield their first goal. Now that Andy Owens is fit, I'd much rather see him fill the role of the tall centre half alongside Edwards.
