Middlesbrough Match Thread

[stanistheman]

I think we might need to change the line up from the Reading game as Boro are a better side, but don’t know who I would drop other than perhaps Amos for Hendricks, even though he had a good game.

We will have to be at our best again to win, but yes we can do it.

Hendrick was bought in to cover/rest Johansen as the experienced player. Otherwise too much younger players in midfield. Sanderson was bought in to cover/rest back three.

Unsure why some feel Chair has to earn his way back.

Willock and Chair represent one of the more dangerous playmaking, score threatening duos out there.

Need both in play against the top teams.

Think Hendrick and Stefan could alternate starts, that Sanderson should have spot starts when we face speedy forwards, and that alternating Dieng and Marshall in a 2 games a week schedule would keep both sharp.

What I don’t agree with, and I’m sure this sounds like heresy to some, is the thought we must always start the same lineup after a win.

MW talks all the time now about needing the FULL squad to gain possible promotion. I agree. Would help reduce the risk of key injuries MW (and many of us) fear the most.

I’m surprised nobody is selecting Moses to start tonight especially as he was imo our best provider in attack against Peterborough.

Dykes or Gray or Austin ?

Dykes for me.

“Andre is back in the UK – but Seny isn’t yet. Andre may be available to us, but we’ll see.

Didn't see the posh so can't comment on his performance. From what I've seen of him I'm not convinced at all. Lots of pace. No brain.

Crosses are generally poor. Gets knocked off the ball quite easily. He keeps going though. Seems popular with his teammates.

Looks like a confidence player. Can't see him being kept on at end of season due to his failure to stay fit and keep his place in the team. Shame as his performance v man u in preseason got him a contract. Not been as impressive since that day imo. Better than kakay though. Although that's not of a comparison to make as much as I like Ossie!!

I think he decent ,he offers pace,can go inside or outside defenders and cross with either foot ,hopefully he has hit some form and he may change your opinion of him if he gets a chance tonight.

Gray looks our better finisher at this point for me,Seny is still on the sauce according to MW in his pre match on recast.

Agree with this.

Against Peterborough he was better on the left than on the right, but still in part to blame for both goals. He is not better than Wallace on the left, nor better than Adomah on the right so, for me, he is best on the bench as back up.

If fit, I would have McCallum on the bench.

As for Chair, he is a quality player who doesn't necessarily have to win back his place as he and Willock together can create chances for themselves and others as well as score some great goals - with a bit of luck he could have scored 2 on Saturday. His free kick might have just been finger tipped against the crossbar, but was about the best direct free kick QPR have taken this season.

Finally, Kakay is best as back up to the back up.

If he bangs one in the top corner then I won't be complaining!! Lol!! He had the Swansea left back on toast a couple of weeks ago but his crossing let him down a lot that night. Pace to burn but he needs a better end product.

Back in August we put in a superb performance against boro with only 10 men, was one of the best night's following the R'S.
Boro are a different prospect now with a different manager although joe is still in the goal, hopefully after a good round of applause as respect for a former player we get torn right into them as we know Joe is susceptible to the odd calamity now and again.

Get chair back in, but Marshall should stay between the sticks.
Kakay should be promoted to oranges on the tray at ht!

Defo Marshall - Dieng not yet available.

[QPROslo]

Murphy Mahoney on the bench. Did not see this coming. I suppose Walsh is sick or injured.

No place on the bench for Dozzell and Thomas.
