Which defensive midfielder do we drop?

[Marshy]

We have to start winning, so I assume against the lesser teams one of Mbia or Derry has to go. Which one would you drop? Heart says play Derry, but mind says keep Mbia (or Diakite when he returns).

drop Mbia...red card waiting to happen plus his distribution is mostly poor

This. Derry was excellent Tuesday night. Truly excellent.

Exactly this,he flys into tackles and its only a matter of time before he is going to cost us again,Derry can hold and break up play then bring M'bia on after 70 mins when Derry starts to tire

Love Mbia but he scares me everytime he has/hasnt got the ball. Derry keeps things calm and simple, is also a great motivator in the pitch.

I'd keep Mbia as he has far mor energy and can drive forward givven the chance and stilll get back.

Derry is great in a 3 becasue he has that shield and just needs to patrol the zone sideways, but in a 2 i fear he'd be found wanting.

I'd setup like we have been and then change it in second half if we're drawing. Don't fancy us chasing the game if we go one down.

tough one, love derry to bits but not sure how long left till his legs go. really really rate and like mbia but as said, he's a red card waiting to happen.

i'd keep derry. he's not as likely to cost us points.
