Greer, el Abd & Upson......... who starts?

[severnside gull]

Three centre backs available for Cardiff so who misses out?

Upson looks a class above so for me it is between the skipper and our Egyptian international. Tough call.......

 

[junior]

Drop Greer. No brainer for me.

 

[clippedgull]

Maybe he will play all three and drop Hammond.

If one has to go to the bench it will be El-Abd.

 

[ees complicated no?]

El abd and Upson without a doubt.

 

[Simon Morgan]

I'd drop El-Abd personally

 

[Baaaald]

Drop Greer.

 

[JBizzle]

To me, Gus has always been pretty true to the old adage of whoever has the shirt keeps it until training/match performances elevates someone else above that person. Right now, El-Abd and Upson have looked pretty good. That said, I'd be intrigued to see Upson and Greer together.

 

[Stat Brother]

We've looked shakier with Upson than we ever did with Greer & El Abd.

(I do understand that's probably more to do with game time and won't necessarily be the case in 14 games time).

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

No need to hurry Greer back in.

ElAbd is 2 yellows away from suspension - that could be Greer's chance.

 

[middletoenail]

Drop El-Abd, we miss Greers ability on the ball and his decent forward passing. Upson is so much better than these 2 so he needs to play.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

El-Abd and Upson for now.

 

[severnside gull]

From memory, since Greer came to the club specifically to be Gus"s captain , he has always cime straight back into the side after an injury absence or susoension. Will Tuesday be a first? I am far from convinced despite el Abd's good form. I also cannot see us playing three centre backs against a side who attack from wide with pace. One has to miss out and I really can't decide who.

If Adam hadn"t completely lost Dann for Blackburn's goal and if we weren't facing Hudson who will also arrive late for set pieces, I would say leave it as it is and if there is any doubt at all about Greer being fully mobile I think that is what will happen. But if Greer is fully fit I can see him and Upson offering a calmer and more controlled central pairing.

 

[8ace]

Greer and Upson.

 

[LamieRobertson]

retain the current partnership

 

[Mackenzie]

El-Abd and Upson.

Greer will have to earn his place like everyone else, plus he can't be match fit after missing the last three weeks.

 

[Marc1901]

drop greer. No brainer for me.

this this this this this this this..

This.

 

[Sussax]

Drop El-Abd.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Drop Greer. No brainer for me.

Hard to drop someone who hasnt been in the side for the last 3 matches

 

[Hyperion]

Greer & Upson as the two CB's for me. Tough call between Greer and El-Abd though

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

To me, Gus has always been pretty true to the old adage of whoever has the shirt keeps it until training/match performances elevates someone else above that person.

If this is true, form in training must be a wildly up and down given all the chopping and changing Gus does.
