The truth

[THE FLYING COW]

ITS OBVIOUS that jim is being told to play hall,the directors should let jim pick his own team,stewert and gorks are a great double act,and should be used together

[qblockpete]

First defender on Jim's team sheet is

Fitz Hall

[Stanley]

First defender on Jim's team sheet is

Fitz Hall

If thats true then it is EXTREMELY worrying.

[Quaz]

First defender on Jim's team sheet is

Fitz Hall

just proves how much of a dumbass JM is then.

[shania]

Think you are spot on DEXTER

[MYU]

No way do they ask Hall to be played, Jim's selection and he loves Hall.

God knows what these managers see in him but after last year when I had my 1 man campaign, it worked he was dropped and built a defensive unit. He's back and now we are pants.

I'm not saying today it was Hall's fault at all, I'm saying that we tend to leak in many more with him playing.

Anyone have stats for defenders so we can see?

[THE FLYING COW]

HALL

HALL IS DISGRACEFULL..........terry venables had a player called glen roeder
who was like fitz hall
yes glen looked elegant and scored twelve goals from midfield the previous season
but it was glens inabillty to gell, that infuriated terry,so glen found himself behind....steve wicks.alan mcdonald.terry fenwick bobby hazell ...which led glen to be sold to newcastle
FITZ HALL IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS ROEDER HE LOOKS THE PART BUT JUST CANT GELL WITH ANY ONE ELSE IN DEFENCE
sell him........AND NEVER PLAY HIM AGAIN

[HammersmithR]

[Rebel R's]

just proves how much of a dumbass JM is then.

RFE - I disagree - Roeder was a leader and played with a big heart. He actually cared about winning and didn't have an attitude problem like Hall does.

[PeterG]

Roeder was a leader and played with a big heart

Indeed and he knew how to give middlesborough a proper spanking at LR

[big ade]

roeder was an elegant,skillful leader,hall is a cumbersome skilless useless bleeder

[THE FLYING COW]

roeder

roeder told venables that qpr should play the sweeper system,venables took his captainship away and got rid of him,you cannot have pri madonners in the back four
roeder was brilliant in midfield but crap as a defender,perhaps hall is brilliant in midfield,maybe he should be given a chance in midfield,

BUT HALL SHOULD NEVER BE PLAYED AT DEFENCE AGAIN

[Youvebeenrangered]

Dont agree JM is being told to play anyone, imo he has free reign over all team affairs.

But your right about Hall, he is pony!

[stan_bowles]

Certain managers favour players even though fans may be bewildered at their inclusion in the starting 11.

Lucas at Liverpool is another example.
