Yeah seems about right. It's the Heffernan rule, the longer someone is out, the better they are 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise derby will just push Bannan back deep where he will be on JP’s toes and set up and defend. Luongo much better going forwards , and we need to win. Agreed. I’m not one for risking players usually, not mid-season anyway. But this occasion is exceptional, and if he does overdo it he’s got 3 months to recover.

Not sure if that's correct or enough time had passed. It’s a one game ban if you’ve received 5 yellows before match week 19. So he’s fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I'd consider him is if he is properly fit, as his style may be best suited to Kazim-Richards. As for up front, I'd say Paterson "gives as much for the cause" as Rhodes, though I'm not sure which I'd start out of the two of them. Of course, based on previous games, we may go again with just 1 up top. Was he sat on the Kop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aha ok, great news, he's free to stand around aimlessly at RWB instead of playing in midfield or attack where he's actually been effective this season.

But we really do need players who will give it all for the cause. Westwood in the net Hutch, Dunkley and Palmer in defence Bannan and Pelupessy in midfield Windass & Rhodes up front The rest - meh. Those players have to start I can’t see us winning just fielding 8 players. Novel idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed a lot of his first season. Missed nearly all of this. I've started referring to luongo as the new Abdi.. Hopefully he proves me wrong next season and we get some games out of him regularly. He'd boss a div 1 midfield if he can stay fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you're wrong, a fully fit Luongo would be a beast for us, I hope it happens I've got a couple of mates here who are QPR season ticket holders and they can't believe how it's turned out for him here, both were beyond gutted when we took him off their hands and told me we'd got a real player for a bargain.

I like how he can drive at defenders and cause something to happen, e.g. the penalty against Boro. He’s got more about him than Harris, who can run pretty fast in a straight line but is so wasteful in the final third Shame Green barely manage to find a positive touch at all in the last game he started!

SallyCinnamon Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 If Luongo is fit I’d definitely play him. He still has a year on his contract. After a year out with injury I highly doubt many clubs will try and take him off us in the summer. Hopefully means he will give his all to stay playing Championship football.

CourteenerOwl Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Amazing what spouting off on Twitter does and a few clenched fist punches, apparently all Dunkley needed to do. Yet on the pitch.........tripe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
