This isn't directed at you - just quoting your post for the topic.
But what is it about defensive pairings that make fans say they've 'earned' it?
If you had 6 good, top 6 forwards, and you had a chance to get another top line guy, would you say 'no, the current guys have earned it'?
It's always better to continue to improve your team, regardless of how well the current guys have played.
(Note: not saying they aren't second pairing guys - they are. Just saying that doesn't mean we shouldn't upgrade)
