Qpr v Coventry | Match Thread

[Jeffqpr]

Team for Cov :

Nardi (picks himself)

Dunne (can only play well at RB)
Cook (picks himself)
JCS (fingers crossed he’s fit)
Dev Squad LB (Paal and Fox not good enough)

Morgan (Good, solid debut on Sat)
Field (Only 1st team CMF worth picking)

Dembele (fingers crossed he’s fit)
Chair (hopefully fit enough to play 90)
Lloyd (give him a start, no one else good enough)

Frey (picks himself)

No where near this first team and definitely not good enough to grace our wonderful shirt are the following :

Ashby
Santos
Paal
Fox
Madsen
EDB
Anderson
Smyth
Saito
Celar

They’ve all had chances, been very disappointing and in my opinion, just not good enough for this level of Championship football.

Shocking Summer recruitment! Most brought in via data analysis…what a heap of horse sh*t! The game isn’t played on a computer, it’s played on grass on a football pitch not in the comfort of your office or arm chair! Why weren’t these players scouted properly through a network? What’s wrong with sending scouts out to the lower reaches of English football and finding some gems like we used to? There are plenty of very good, young, English players out there who’d give their right leg to play at such a high level. With a bit of coaching, nurturing and developing, we could turn these into good players at this level and they’d probably be more accustomed to the fast pace and vigeurs of this league!

We are in an awful position. Injuries to Morrison and Colback aren’t helping matters, but something has got to change soon or as results go and if we carry on losing at the current rate, we could be cut adrift very quickly and then there’d be nowhere back from this!

You forgot Varne as he’s available tonight & would probably play him, also should give Morgan a game as he looked composed Saturday

[Dedders]

No choice but to push on now and play two up front. We can’t keep setting ourselves up to win by a lucky goal. Frey works his heart out but he’s never gonna make much progress against two CBs. The worry for me was seeing Celar come on last Saturday and follow Frey round the pitch - they look too similar to play together . If we’re going to get the points we need we need to have a threat up front

I would okay Lloyd up front with Frey

[daveshads]

Good luck lads and all the loyal fans who keep turning up during these difficult times. Really mystified personally. I don't believe that we have a bad side so why, at least occasionally, we don't look good, I am at a loss to explain. People, including myself, have put forward loads of ideas but truthfully none of us can be certain. Let's hope for a good night, maybe a little luck, and some light ahead.

[SheepRanger]

Morgan to start.......please!

[70sQPR]

I wouldn't write off fox either , we all have bad days and he was just to slow against Pompey, and let's face it he doesn't really have much competition for his place.
celar just doesn't seem up to it , he won't jump and looks lost.
Saturday he and Frey seemed to get in eachothers way .
Bottom line is we need 11 out there tomorrow that are prepared to run themselves into the ground and we may have a chance , as said Coventry are not as good as recent seasons.

Yes,Fox should stay in with Field , Varane and Morgan in at the expense of Dembele -to brought on later?

[SheepRanger]

Varane, JCS, Celar & Smyth start.

Fox on the bench........Frey no where!!

[LoftusRoadLad]

.

[LoftusRoadLad]

Lets hope this team can do it !!!!

[SheepRanger]

Any rumours on Frey's absence from the squad?

[WeAreQPR12]

Frey must be injured, shame could of done with him tonight

[Sleeping Giants]

If Frey is injured, I think that's the team I would have picked bar Saito instead of Smyth but I'm in 2 minds about Paal as well so I'm talking rubbish...come on u Rs!!

Awful second clearance from Paal after JCS did so well with the first. Paal error from I can see from TV
