I would give Reach a run at left back and Palmer or Iorfa on the right Good managers make big decisions that are sometimes unpopular but before the issue is obvious I don’t see any point in moving reach to left back. palmer is doing well there and we lose reach further forward. i agree odubajo improved second half on Saturday but he couldn’t have been been worse than he was in the first. Continually out of position and taking himself out of the game trying to win tackles and headers in bad positions in first half.

That said, I'm not convinced with Odubanjo. His reputation seems greater than his two appearances. Then again, Iorfa was also iffy at fullback in some of his nine games. Both lost position, but recovered due to their speed. I agree, we need dominance to defend against Millwall's height at corners and free-kicks and Oddjobo looks less effective at set plays at both ends of the pitch. As long as we go with the pace of Harris and Murphy, I think we can do without the greater pace of Obusago and change to the greater height, and marginally better defending of Iorfa. We should also go for the power of Luongo over Keiran Lee. And it started off so well...! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuttyTeabags Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Westwood for Dawson, Luongo for Lee, Bazza for Reach, Iorfa for Odjob. Westwood Iorfa Lees Borner Palmer Hutch Luongo Bazza Murphy Fletch Harris Physicality in middle of park with Hutch and Luongo, Bazza freed up to buzz around and play, Iorfa to give us much needed physicality to combat Smith etc. Set pieces will be key, our CB aren't the tallest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Luongo looked very good when he came on but we don't know how his fitness is yet Don't think he had a pre season with Qpr if reports are correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 So far of those expressing a clear choice it’s Moses 12 v 16 Dom. I blame Brexit. Country totally divided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sternlad Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Think I would pick Iorfa on height alone, think Odubajo would be targeted for far post headers. He does seem a bit prone to letting strikers in the back door ( oo er missus!!) Would also have Luongo in for strength and height instead of Reach. If you’ve got these players in the squad use them to match your opposites I say. Incidentally, I loved that thread title of “Loungo”. - sounded like one of Liono’s mates in the Thundercats. “ Loungo - the Thundercat who never leaves the sofa to tackle the mighty Skeletor.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 It's actually a little frustrating we have Iorfa, Obubajo and Palmer for right back, and yet still have no left back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldishowl Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Personally I would go Iorfa at right back , not much to choose defensively but gives added height. Bannan back only if 100% Reach instead of Murphy Luonga for Lee , again if he is fit enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sternlad Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Having thought about recent posts...is Skeletor in He-man or Thundercats? I’m reyt confused. Which one is Mumra in? “Nurse! Nurse!

Going forward he links superbly with Harris. Totally agree mate. By FAR our best left back option! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank God you’ve sorted that one out Kago! I would’ve whittled about it all the way through Tipping Point! Is Kagoshima a place? If so, do you live there? Sounds tres exotique!

sternlad Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Anyway, Iorfa has a seven speed gear box, as opposed to some of our players who seem to be fitted with only three speed Sturmey Archer gears! Hands up if you remember having them bolted on to your handlebars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they pick headed scraps off each other as well, so picking up the bits and seocnd balls is key. This is why we need to be fully alert at corners and, free-kicks from around the halfway line. We've done our homework on them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.. Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 There's only one solution, the Pulis method! Iorfa at rb, Börner at lb, Bates and Lees at CB, van aken, Pelupessy and Hutchinson at dm, Palmer and fox wide but tucked in, Nuhiu up front for the hoof, Forestieri bannan and the wingers stay home there's no place for them in modern football! That's a victorious 0-0 waiting to happen! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
