right the burning question,who would you drop,
my own opinion would be leave the back four alone for now,they are all holding their own so leave for now ,
when the change has to be made i would keep Martin Taylor in ,he has been our best player for ages now.
so it would have to be Jaidi to go.

I agree with your comments, If and when a change needs to be made it has to be Jaidi that steps down.

**thumbup If it aint broke dont fix it, let him wait, will probably be gone in Jan anyway. I will be disappointed if Jaidi or Taylor get dropped, to my mind that would be ludicrous.

At the moment nobody. If he wants to go, get as good a price as possible. Hopefully he'll be as successful where he ends up as Pennant is at Liverpool

Drop no one. Upson comes in only if someone gets injured or has a major loss of form.
Taylor and Jaidi want to be at the club. Upson wants to go. The two of them are playing brilliantly at the moment so Bruce should keep faith in them and the rest of the back four.
Can't see anyone wanting to buy Upson in January anyway as he will not have played enough football to prove he is over his injury, and we need him as cover. Why is the talk always about selling and not buying? That's what we should do in January.

I wouldn't drop Jaidi or Taylor. Can Upson play Right back in place of Kelly?

Not sure I'd play a left footed centre half at right back. There is no point dropping anybody just to accomodate Upson, although I have my suspicions that Damien Johnson will walk straight back into the team

I wouldn't drop anybody for him, he's not match fit and we've conceeded 2 in 7 so I don't see why we need him so bad

if he had to play due to injuries then so be it but atm i cant see why he should play considering our defence looks settled and the majority of opposition in this league are hardly top class

IF bruce thought it necessary to play him then i would play 3 at the back and use saddler and kelly as wingbacks with clemence / danns / muamba in the middle and mchseffrey and bendtner upfront

Keep him ticking over with reserve team fixtures for now to get his fitness level up, but like Nafti he should be kept on the bench whilst the players that have performed so well recently are allowed to continue.

Jaidi's been one of our best defenders and is in the top 100 Championship players in the Actim Stats.
I'd drop Sadler maybe because all the other 3 defenders have had more experience.
Upson can be alright playing left back.

I wouldn't drop either at the moment, but the return of Upson into the fray means that they will both needs to be on their toes. It should be done on merit and if the time comes that one of them is not performing, then he would be the one to make way, rather than us say which one should eventually step down.

I agree with Blacksmith. Having a top class player like Uppy on the bench puts a little pressure on the back three (Jaidi, Tiny and Sadler; I don't think Uppy can play RB). I wouldn't drop any of them as they're doing fantastic at the moment. I disagree that Sadler should be swapped; although I wasn't at the game yesterday, I kept on hearing positive comments on Sadler- he deserves his place and is starting to really come into his own with his forward runs. :applause:

Because Kelly isn't playing too well IMO. Was just woundering if it was possible to replace Kelly with Upson.

I think Kelly has been improving in every game I've seen him play. Admittedly, I don't get to the away games, so I can't comment about those matches.

Upson, in my opinion, is not a full back, certainly not a right sided one, and he looked like a fish out of water when he played left back for us. I think the full back position is one of the most technically difficult and needs a specialist to play there.

I'm a big SB supporter, but that is one of the main mistakes I think SB has made, by playing players at full back when it is not their natural position. I'm thinking of Tebily, Taylor and Gray, all of whom had their reputations tarnished by playing there instead of their correct positions.

Martin Taylor has proved a lot of people wrong, me included. For me Upson will have to wait.

No one should be dropped for a player that allegedly wants to leave, leave him on the bench.

I would drop no one for Uppy. There has to be an injury or a huge drop in form before he can get back in the side.
