Two sitting deep breaking things up to give the full backs more freedom and Bannan, Lee and Forestieri competing for that free role behind the striker. Just imagine: -------------------- Westwood -------------------- Iorfa ------ Lees ---- Borner ----- Odubajo ----------- Luongo - Hutchinson ------------ Reach ----------- Bannan ------------- Harris ---------------------- Rhodes ----------------------- Subs: Lee, Forestieri, Fletcher, Murphy, Palmer, Pelupessey, Dawson Promotion challenging team in my opinion Agree with the formation, not so much the lineup. We're made for a 4-2-3-1 now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’d be better playing 433 in my opinion with the central players we now have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Good. I'm sure he'll offer us something new and fresh and also lowers the age of our midfield! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfc-dan Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Our first Aussie ever to play for us? I thought he was South American honestly! Looks like a really good coup, adds loads of competition to the midfield area now. Played a ton of games the past few seasons which is reassuring as we need players who stay fit. Wonder why the heck QPR agreed to sell him though, isn't he their captain and fans favourite? They must be in dire need of some transfer fees to sell him, fans must be raging. Do wish we'd get business done much sooner as he's not had preseason to get on the same wavelength as others, but that seems the norm nowadays. Definately a signal of intent that we are looking to compete in the playoffs this year, and no reason we can't if Hector signs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't sign a new one as they have a new wage structure and he would have had to take a pay cut. They are cashing in what they can and therefore we get a bargain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfc-dan Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Wheres the obligatory highlight reel then? I know being a combative midfielder, clips aren't bound to be as flashy. Must be a good one from his time at QPR though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HirstWhoScoredIt Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) Most QPR fans seem to think he was average. But we are desperate in that position. Good age, hopefully he will kick on. Edited August 8, 2019 by HirstWhoScoredIt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having two capable defensive midfielders should also hopefully get the best out of FF, Bannan, Reach etc by allowing them to play higher up the pitch where they are most most effective.

I guess the only downside in my mind is how many games might he miss due to internationals down under? Otherwise looks a great signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't seem to rate him nearly as highly there. Hopefully he'll kick on in a much better team around him. Must need a work permit so presumably playing internationals for Aussie is a requirement?
