SiJ Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 One of Bannan or Lee has to make way imo. We need some energy and drive in that midfield and Luongo looks like the type who might bring that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutch sits too deep and spoils our shape, Try Luongo instead for a couple of games to give Hutch a rest and see if the shape improves. Bannan drops too deep to collect the ball, if he's on the pitch everything has to go through him, if he has a bad day or the opposition mark him out of the game we are clueless so try Luongo and see if the other midfielders step up. We've had the same 3 midfielders for 4 years and failed to get promotion so we need to try something else. I'd like us to try the above options then we can mix things up and stop being predictable. If they don't work we've at least tried to experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luongo played CDM for QPR and of the 3 I put Bannan and Lee ahead of Hutch in ability and reliability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Would like to start seeing more game time for Luongo. Like him as a player, and he looks pretty sharp when he comes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All are talented players, but they failed miserably to impose themselves in that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we really need an out and out CDM at home to QPR, at the expense of our passer or our runner? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drops too deep and starts trying to ping the ball everywhere. If we are going to play a three then he needs to be getting further up the pitch. Make things happen.

Got to agree with this, Hutchinson far too deep on Saturday, unless he is going to play like the second half against Luton he shouldn't be playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Not seen enough of Luongo to know how or where exactly he plays. Tomorrow night does seem to be the kind of fixture where fringe players get a chance though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shezzas left peg Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 On 26/08/2019 at 08:53, theowlsman said: I’ve been calling for him to start from game 1 by the way. He’s combative and scores goals. Looking like another signing we’ve brought in where we ask “Why did we buy him if we’re not going to use him?” He hadn't had a proper pre season and just moved clubs, so no doubt we're easing him in gently and allowing the lad to get up to full fitness and get an understanding with his new team mates I presume. From what I've seen so far looks strong and a good engine, so may be able to cover for both Lee or hutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian joicey Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 hutch is effectively a 3rd centre back (always has been) .as such makes our midfield one short. if we're gonna play him then play 3 at the back (with wing backs) and enforce the middle of the park further up the field .3-5-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpowl Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Think he’s going to be our best signing this year and considering the start Borner and Harris have had that’s a pretty good signing he’s been unlucky because the teams been winning but he’s nailed on to start against toy town and then hopefully keep his place against his old club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarn owl Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Hard to argue he shouldn't have a go, impressive in every sub appearance. Plus it's against his old team on Saturday. HE WILL SCORE FOR SURE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
