he was appalling against wigan

and appalling against villa

i would rather have upson playing in his current situation

at one point in the first half against villa .. he looked like he could not stand up !! let alone play football

im sure he will play tonight and i pray he has a better game

Didn't do to bad last night did he ?

Take out the Villa game and the mittigating circumstances as i stated in my original post , and thats 4 games, 4 results, 2 goals conceeded with Tiny and KK at the back !

Find me the last run of 4 games with KK and Upson to match that ?

Include the Villa game and ignore the demotivational effect of SB's decision, and its still 4 results from 5 games and 5 conceeded ! I'd wager you'd need to go back a fair way to find that as well with Upson and KK !

Get off the guys back and we may just escape this !

Is it that hard to give credit to a scapegoat when credits due people ?

Thought he had a good game last night - never looked to troubled apart from the lack of understanding with KK for the orignal shot in the build up to Blackburns equaliser.

That said i aint to confident of him standing up to Beattie and Fegurson at the weekend - this will be his true test.

When has credit been due?

Hes had the odd game, but generally as a whole hes been crap. I still didn't think he was that good last night. A couple of dodgey headed clearances, where we were lucky not to be punished.

I'd give him more chance against them than against Drogba, Crespo, Robben !

Oh ! Wait a minute ! He kept them out didnt he !

And the same applies to getting off Steve Bruce's back, if we are going to be consistent.

Let's give every player and member of the management team our full support. **thumbup

I dont think you'll find that many are on Steve Bruces back !

Depending upon how you define it ?

If its whats written on web pages then he and tiny get equal stick !

But not a game goes by without some idiots shouting , drop him, he's useless, **** off lurch, etc etc

Now correct me if i'm wrong, but have i or any other anti Bruce people started shouting Bruce Out or Hasnt got a clue or whatever at the matches ? I dont think so !

Once were down and the whistle has gone , then maybe i will, until then i offer support. Shame tinys detractors cant do the same !

I'm not having a go at you, Pewster, it is a general comment based on the hatred I hear at matches, and 'hatred' is the only way I can describe it, whether it is directed at Bruce, Taylor, Gray, Tebily or whoever. What I'm saying is that we need to get behind them all and be supporters first and foremost and fans afterwards.

The trouble is, one or two start off the vitriolic comments and they are then followed a few minutes later by the parrots who repeat the same things. Some people are only waiting for certain players to make a mistake so that they can have a go at them, but the same happens to the manager as well.

A group behind me did nothing but say the sort of things I've highlighted above and then had the nerve to say that 'the fans don't get behind the team like they used to'.

i hate to be harsh, but upson with a torn achilles is better than a fully fit taylor lately! if thats down to confidence then as a pro he should put that aside and get on with it to the best of his ability. anybody in their right mind would pick a fringe england cb in front of a fringe prem cb playing badly in our situation, but under no account is it sb's fault. the old adage of not changing a winning team is flawed to say the least, but when you have a returning player available who is 50% better then old adages need kicking into touch imo...bottom line, tiny has neither the pace nor toughness required for the prem and he would be my very last resort if any alternatives were available.... ;)
