If they've still got that lump up front someone's in for a torrid time.

If you're on about Sinclair Armstrong? He has signed for Bristol City.

Don't think it was him,bald bloke?

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Was Vale a loan or a purchase?

Purchase for £0 but a sell on fee

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Lyndon Dykes, at Birmingham now

 

[wingy]

I'll try and look at their squad,had a period out with injury but back now, thinking something like Bray or Gray.

Or even Frey!

 

[wingy]

Right Handful.

No. He means Frey. However, he is slow as, so maybe a higher line would work better against him.

Bidders's abducta injury will take longer than Frank thinks to recover I feel as they usually they take 3 to 4 weeks to recover from. Being optimistic for next weekend seems unrealistic

But what about his abductor injury?

 

[jto123]

Something is really telling me we’ll lose this, which I never usually feel for any home game. Hopefully proved wrong!

I'm the same

Big game this one.

Just as the positivity was coming back, we got bossed by Leeds and beaten heavily by Ipswich (though the scoreline does flatter them). Both powder puff performances, where we looked blunt up front and wide open at the back.

Grimes starting tomorrow will be make a huge difference, and hopefully he will provide the cover the defence need.

Team picks itself doesn’t it. Lati back at RCB,
JDS for Bidwell (if the former can’t play).
Torp, Grimes & Rudoni in midfield,
BTA & Simms up front.

If EMC is on the bench, we could then switch to a 4-3-3 if things are not going well

Leeds were simply a class above - plus FL decided to choose continuity over setting up for the opposition in front of you, something Robins loved to do often. He should never have played 5-3-2 with that high line. A tactical error in my opinion.

Against Ipswich we played at least 5 players we wouldn't play with a fit squad. Of the remaining 6 we basically played everyone out of position except Rudoni and Dovin.

I don't think we can learn much from the past 2 matches. Hopefully it's a continuation of form which we displayed on our 5-win run, and QPR fall into the bracket of mid-table Championship teams we've been playing well against.

Sit on the Chair.

Upholster the bastard

 

[quinn1971]

I'm the same

Well your wrong we won 5 on the bounce,made More chances against Leeds than most teams and put our reserves out against Ipswich, no reason why we can’t go on another run

 

[itsabuzzard]

Upholster the bastard

If it involves a damn good stuffing I'm all for it.

 

[Chris1987]

Mcgraw's been shitting himself again for no reason.
Worrying issue he's got there .

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

3 nil win Godden Hatrick

 

[Skybluecol]

3 nil win Godden Hatrick

can see it happening, playing Peterborough at home who have been leaking goals recently and Godden on a run of scoring - what's the odds offering?

 

[mmttww]

If it involves a damn good stuffing I'm all for it.

 

[Chicken Mcgraw]

With Bidwell out I’d be trying this:

Dovin
MVE Thomas Lati Kitching
Allen Grimes Torp
Sakamoto Simms Rudoni

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Dovin
Lati Thomas Kitching
MvE Torp Grimes Rudoni Dasilva
Simms BTA

Wilson, Binks, Burroughs, Eccles, Allen, Raphael, Sakamoto, EMC*, Bassette

 

[Covcraig@bury]

3-1 not sure which way thou

 

[covcity4life]

3-1 not sure which way thou

It will be Cov or QPR that's for sure

 

[Cally Fedora]

Key to us getting a result is finding a way to stop giving stupid goals away again. Two things integral to that are to keep being pragmatic - hit row Z if required. And try and find a formation without Binks or Dasilva in it. I think we have to play JDs in this one however.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

After that tawt Chair giving it the Billy Big B*ll*cks and running to Singers Corner, rather than his own fans , last season, I hope we a) stuff them and b) stick a few on him. Good player, but after what he had been up to off the pitch, really took a dislike to him, and that just exacerbated it.

Edit: Was this the game that the QPR fans played up at and created a bit of a 'thing' with City fans at the time?
