Benkovic had a match to forget against Wycombe - although there were some promising elements to his play if you don't concentrate too hard on the defending bit! But I would expect him to get much better quickly if he is given a run of games. He did very well at Celtic and pretty well at Bristol City. He is ring rusty, but clearly has ability and athleticism - and a £13m price tag doesn't come out of fresh air.
The other central defensive options are not great - Sol is 36 and has hardly played since his injury. Cunningham could play in a back 3 if necessary but has also suffered from a lack of game time and would be out of position. Ciaron Brown plays either centre back or left back (I think) and has done a dozen matches for Livingston (who are going well in the SPL) but his loan runs to the end of January.
