I just think Low and Taylor are about as good a centre half partnership as we've ever had, and I appreciate that that is a huge call.
I also love Sonny Bradley and think he's been amazing since he's come in. But there are plenty of games left and he'll get plenty of chances between now and the end of the season. There will be no need to play anyone in there who is not quite fit, carrying a knock, or at risk of picking up an injury
As you say, tough problem to have, but better than who do we pick out of Duberry and Oliver
Christ, that is a really difficult choice! I'd go with Duberry because he came in with such a fan-fare to then be so bad! At least Oliver joined as a nobody and left as a nobody
I would say Bradley plays every game if fit, the other CBs could all learn from him and that includes Joe and Anders so great for their continued development.
I think it's great that we have a selection of defenders on loan and in house as we head into the business end of the season.
I suspect some of the games we will have in the run-in will take it out of the defence so rotation will be vital. It's great we send out young players who are nowhere near the first team, but having good cover in most positions is something we have dreamed of in the past. A decent CB on the bench? Perfect.
While Joe is recovering Bradley and Taylor possibly first choice pairing for now?
Morley is coming back permanently.... I still believe.
We will need to rotate centre backs between now and the end of the season so having Caleb, Bradley and Low allows this. Bradley has been solid but Caleb is much better at being able to travel with ball at feet and progressing us up the pitch.
I wouldn't be upset if we just looked to off-load Hartridge. He looks a complete liability whenever I see him play and just isn't good enough to be in a team challenging for promotion. Skura looks better already, although I do agree that we could really benefit by getting him out on loan somewhere in L2 where he could get a lot of game time as thats all he is really missing now from a development perspective.
Yep, I'm imagining something in between one of those lampshade looking things you put round a dog's face to stop it trying to lick its own gnadgers, or some sort of fancy dress facial piece.
Just resting as we have Taylor back is probably the betterings option.

Unless Low is fit, then it's Low and Taylor isn't it?
Dropping Sonny Bradley would be quite a call wouldn't it? Wouldn't wanna be Sam Grace!

No, no reason to drop Bradley.
Great news.
I don't think there can be any doubt that the club are going all out to achieve promotion this season.
Unless he needs the rest? Being 33 almost 34, I'm guessing doing back to back 90 minutes is going to take it toll
Oliver, obviously.
That comparison has my head spinning right round (like a record, baby).
Low and Taylor or Oliver and Duberry? It's not Daddy or chips is it?

Makes sense. Not sure how long a broken nose takes to heal, but will allow Low a bit of recovery time to properly heal anyway.
You can't rush it - as we saw with Mbappe at the Euros
There are 18 league games left, plenty of rotation and options off the bench needed.
Especially for a centre back who is likely to need to put his beak amongst it, in a way a pacemeister striker like Mbappe wouldn't.
Seems harder to sort a mask for a broken nose too - as opposed to a cheekbone
I’m assuming Derby can’t call Bradley back? They’ve got a couple of recent CB injuries and it’s rumoured that Cashin is off to Brighton.
Nope, they can't
Nice one.
Well, the rules say they can't, but this is Derby County we're talking about...
