RUMBELOWS91 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Sounds like something from the 80s but it would give us a huge threat from set pieces. Westwood Iorfa Lees Borner Palmer Harris Bannan Hutch FF Fletcher Nuhiu Wouldn't be adverse to Fox for Palmer on current form, or Luongo for Hutch, but that's a big side that I don't think QPR would fancy matching up against with quality delivery from Bannan. EDIT. Possibly tempted with Reach for FF too. Edited August 31, 2019 by RUMBELOWS91 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

full fathom five Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Fill the team with big lads and then leave out Reach? our best supply of crosses, yeah right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZicoSterland2 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Wouldnt have Nuhiu in any starting line up big or not. His role is hold up forward from the bench when defending a lead. Fletcher needs pace playing off him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodwickOwl Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Can’t see the formation changing Murphy out Reach in I think - rest will stay as it is. I would swap Hutch for Luongo personally and get us more on front foot at home, we need the front 3 + Lee and Luongo in and around that box when in attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can do the defensive work but look a better threat moving forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
York_Owl Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 We don’t have the midfield to play 4-4-2. All the opposition needs to do is play three central midfielders, put one on Bannan to cut out any creativity in midfield from us, leaving two on Hutch. Hutch tends to sit deep anyway which would then leave your playmaker (a Huddlestone or Mooy) to stroll around midfield running the show. we really need to learn our lessons from previous mistakes.

GMOwl72 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) We will be playing in the sky with that team. Thing is it probably isn’t far off. Not sure about HMSPTL more like AFC Dons. Edited August 31, 2019 by GMOwl72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

York_Owl Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 If QPR are playing 4-3-1 We’ve got to match up the numbers in midfield as it is the midfield battle where games are often won and lost. With 4-4-2 we simply get outnumbered. Lampard gets straight to the point about 8 minutes in: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Tallest lads at the back, brightest boots in midfield. One fat one thin up front. What do you think Mr Fer-nan-des? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, Nuhiu is a better player coming on towards the end of a game when the opposition are knackered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when you say play the big lads what you’re actually saying is ‘play Nuhiu’ Because aside from dropping a full back who’s decent in the air for one who isn’t I can’t really see anything else that might be related to chucking the big lads in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Go 4-4-2 against that shape they play and we aren't going to see much of the ball. Which doesn't particulary bother me. I don't mind a bit if the old counter attack. But if people want us to dominate teams. They will be sorely dissapointed if we start with thst midfield.

flo Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I didn't realise they had Angel Rangel, thought he would have retired by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
