Top defender: Repka
Hammers hard-man, Tomas Repka should be at the heart of the Hammers defence - with Gary Breen his first choice partner. Over fifty percent of you voted that Repka and Breen should be at the centre of the defence, even though they are yet to pair up there.

Last years somewhat successful - at home anyway - pairing of Repka and Dailly scored a worryingly low 15.3%, indicating that the fans are not filled with confidence at the pairing of the Czech and Scottish Internationals.

Repka, who is a player in the mould of former fans favourite, Julian Dicks, was one of the pair in each of the top three most voted for partnerships, with and his pairings accounted for over three-quarters of the votes.

If each pairing was split up, the results are as follows:

Hammers Top Defender
Repka38.8%
Breen34.7%
Dailly13.5%
Pearce13%

The actual results of the poll are below:
