This leaves us needing to pick up points asap to ensure we don't have a nerve racking end to the season. Swansea, on the other hand, are only 4 points off a playoff spot, but will be disappointed to have lost 2-3 at home to Derby on Saturday. Their top scorer is Ayew with 12 goals. They have scored 37 and let in 37 this year, which gives them the joint second best defense of any team outside the top six, but also the joint second worst scoring record, with 5 teams having scored 37, and only Wigan (29) having scored less. Who knows what this will mean for Tuesday night...could be a good chance to improve our defensive record, could also be tough place to score a few...we will wait and see. Team news QPR: Charlie Owens (knee). Swansea: George Byers (ankle), Bersant Celina (knock), Mike van der Hoorn (knee), Jordan Garrick (hamstring). Enjoy those who are making the trip and...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!
Thanks Dave, great to see those clips again. If we get at them we should win again. I'd like to see Rangel get a game against them, but even more I'd like to see BOS unleashed as a wing back, Eze playing forward getting beyond Hugill where he can really hurt them, Amos pressing them like the PitBull that's in him somewhere from early season, in a 3 5 2, something like this. Kelly Hall, Masterson, Barbet BOS, Amos, Cameron, Ball, Manning Hugill, Eze Rangel, Wallace, Chair, Clarke, and Oteh at least on the Bench.
An interesting team selection. My only “constructive” comment is that I am not sure if BOS has experience of playing as a “wingback”?
I've never seen him play there but hope he's trained and practised as a wing back. For me he looks like he's a shoe in for the role quick, tough, strong on the ball and seems aware defensively - one great goal saving tackle Saturday showed awareness as well as great speed. I've never seen him as a striker, he's looked lost to me when he's been moved more central, but out wide...
Thanks Dave, some great memories and some great players in the 2010 highlights. Maybe the likes of Eze & Chair should try and emulate some of the greats from 2010 and Hugil could learn a thing or two from Helguson or even Mackie!
This is a game we could do with getting something from. I guess it depends which Rangers team turns up. Hopefully the bloody minded ones with win on their minds the one that will fight for every ball and challenge every 70-30 (not in their favour)......regardless of what Swansea throw at them
Why would we ever consider taking one of our most dangerous attacking threats and playing him in a more defensive position?!?!?!?!? Bizarre to say the least. This lad should be naturally on the wing or right up with hugill where he can do the damage, not ****ing tracking their winger for the game!
I'll take David Prutton's prediction ... David Prutton’s EFL predictions are out and the Sky Sports pundit has given his verdict which never fails to be controversial with many Twitter users reacting to it. The former Nottingham Forest, Southampton, Leeds, Swindon, Sheffield Wednesday and England U21 footballer who currently works as a presenter, pundit and commentator has given his thoughts on the outcome of all twelve Championship matches. See what he went with below and on the next few pages… SWANSEA v QPR The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 1-1 He said: “As soon as you think Swansea are starting to get somewhere, they seem to stumble and fall a little bit further away from promotion contention. They were unfortunate to lose to the odd goal in five against Derby, but with QPR looking to end a run of four straight losses, I have a feeling this may end all-square.”
Time to change things round a bit? Perhaps back to the 3 5 2 we played early season, but having defensive midfielders who are very aware of the space behind our wing backs where we got caught out playing that way.
I have to agree. When playing 3 at the back I believe that 2 defensive midfielders should start. Defend as a 5 and attack as a 5.
