QPR (A) - Match Thread

No Ward on the bench? Not good.....

[Muzzy_no7]

Suspect it’s only a matter of time before Alves is on that bench for Daka. 
 

Then of course Cannon for Kelechi for the AFCON. 
 

Albrighton currently only in the squad due to injuries IMO.

Wanya back on the bench too

Been on there the previous two games. 

 

Wonder why Yunus still hasn't been included.

Good to see Coady get a run out.

Not so sure. I've felt Souttar has been an excellent stand in for Faes. Barely perceptible difference. 

 

But, I'm always a guy who leans towards better the devil you know

I'm surprised to see Winks and KDH in the team as they are both on 4 yellows.

 

We run the risk of going into the game against Leeds without Winks, KDH and Ndidi. 

It's an exercise in discipline for the two of them. Enzo has said QPR is 3 points and Leeds are 3 points. He learns if KDH and Winks can be disciplined enough to not get a yellow, he learns if they do get a yellow who else could step up for the rest of the season. He approaches every game the same  in mental approach , let's worry about today not tomorrow.

As someone said previously, if you rest players in fear of a suspension, you are effectively suspending them for games. 3 points here is as important as 3 points against Leeds.  

You could argue that 3pts here is more important. Getting them on the board is the important bit. The Leeds game will be what it is.

Thought there were rumours of Wanya being on the naughty step?

 

Yunus must have a knock surely?

Well enzo said he will only rest those that are tired, true to his word. And yes 3 points is 3 points, so maybe having your best players on and making things a bit more comfortable is best. Hopefully they don’t get booked though 

[Tielemans63]

Yunus only returned to training yesterday, apparently. Hence why he's not in the squad. Great that he's back though.

[Lesterlad]

Just been talking to a couple of rangers fans. They are saying their fans will be happy if it’s 5 or less today. They said if we score an early goal they’re fans. Will become toxic towards the manager. They have no decent centre back or a striker. 
 

so guess they will win

I say its more important to take 3 points off the team in 3rd than the team 3rd from bottom.

Only worry is that we don't really have any replacements to sub on for them later in the game if we're winning.

Hamza to move into midfield Ricardo to right back. And if need to drop butch back and put ihenacho in number 10 rome

I get both sides to be honest, you can say that today we can afford to rest those 2 because we have a good chance of winning without them still. While if neither are available for Leeds well that game becomes a hell of a lot harder. We will see how things go 

[Suzie the Fox]

Vesty looking less like lurch & quite good looking on that pic..How times change 

 

0-2 , would prob have said more but they going to sit sooooo deep right?

Ideally yes, but it’s also best to use the squad to get the more easily obtainable 3 points

[beepee1984]

Surprised not to see Alves on the bench - I hear he is training with the squad.

 

With Ndidi out for an extended period, Yunus not fit, Winks & KDH - just a yellow away from suspension and Choudhary our only full back cover for 2 injury prone full backs - Alves may be needed before we know it.

I wonder whether he sees this game as more important in a way. Leeds is going to be probably the hardest game and potential to lose regardless of how strong the line up is.

 

Win today and lose to Leeds we stay 11pts clear of them, mess with the midfield too much today to concentrate on Leeds, could put us in a position to drop points twice and there reduce the gap further maybe?

 

That being said, surprised to see them both start myself.. thought at least one may miss out..

 

Let's smash em 3 or 4 nil

He won't be quite ready just yet. Training is one thing. Match fitness is another.

 

He'll be in soon enough though I think. Get the sense that Enzo is a fan 🥳

How can you have Over 3.5 goals? LOL... surely just over 3 goals is the same or am i missing the point? 

 

 

[Dahnsouff]

Was good to see Mads doing some cock training in the latest training pictures, Enzo really is thorough

[Bourbon Fox]

Beat what's in front of you, with the best side you have available.

 

Can always take them off if we're pissing it at half time.

[AjcW]

They’re playing a right back and a DM at CB today… Vardy might have some fun
