... can't believe I'm writing this, and it might surprise a fair few on here given what I've written about him in the past but, if Bong's fit, now's the time to drop Bruno. Rosenoir's simply got more pace and that will be valuable in the run-in. This is not to say that I can't see Bruno starting or playing again this season: there will be plenty of games (away ones, play-off finals if applicable, etc) when we need to start with Bruno at right-back and Rosenoir right midfield, but in most games for the rest of the season, I'd prefer Liam at right-back and Bong at left-back: more pace, more physical, better engines.
Thanks for the outrageous flair Bruno, for the defensive solidity, and being so consistent this season. Hughton is paid to make big decisions and, in my view, this is one he now needs to take.

Bruno is in the top 3 players of the season for me along with Kayal and Stockdale.

He has the shirt and hasn't done anything to warrant losing it, to drop him for Rosenior in that manner would be a huge risk. It's a risk not worth taking. #aintbrokedontneedfixing

Maybe next season.

With not many games left this season, every game is vital, so not a time to experiment to much- see Cardiff and Kayal rested for the last game.

When he has a match without being defensively sound, being really offensive and being completely flair-driven... then and only then should we consider dropping him... and then he would have had to have let us down on more than one occasion. CH has said he's the best RB in the Championship and so he is... without doubt. Come on Machiy, get it together. He's been diamond all season

How about this? . . .

We are fourth in the league, in line for the play offs or even automatic promotion, we are in fine fettle and playing well . . .

Don't drop ANYBODY.

I think it's TIME to give Salter a GAME.

Bong was the best fI'll back at the club this season before being injured , has so much pace both in defending and going forward where he provides us options going forward . Needs to start as we are a better team with him starting , look at the results when he has been playing , I think Bruno is better going forward than defending , but I like Rosenoir , I think he is a good full back and has pace going forward . His natural position is right back , and defensively is better than Bruno , hard to pick between the two of them ,nice problem to have

Pointless thread.

Bruno has been one of our top performers this season and with his help we are in with a genuine chance of automatic promotion.

Move on, nothing to see here.

Bruno has been outstanding this season and is arguably the most naturally gifted player in the squad in terms of skill. No way should he be dropped, he's playing his best football ever for us.

Surely it can't just be me that's slightly itchy about the OP's insistence on spelling Rosenior wrong, Shirley?

Regarding the age situation, for me it's not really much of an issue as long the player is still performing, there's an old Swedish striker rattling around in Paris who is still absolutely lethal, he's conquered Holland, Spain, Italy and France and now, at 34, he's up for a pop in the Premier League.
