[Archived] Qpr v Rovers preview

[Bluefudge]

Just checking. Here's a ray of hope. In 1993 we went to QPR and won 3-0 with the following team. I remember getting to the ground and thinking there was some sort of mistake. Tony Roberts got nutmegged by Atkins for one of them. Great night. Maybe we can pull off the miracle today.

Mimms, Brown, Dobson, Berg, Hendry, Moran, Ripley, Cowans, Atkins, Newell, Marker.

That's a better Rovers team than ours today. Prob beat today's rovers 3-0

[youandwhosearmy]

Absolutely joke team!

surely the worst attacking force we have ever provided since...well the last time Roberts started!

Is Kean trying to see how far he can go without being sacked.

I'd be amazing if we get anything from this.

All very well packing the middle of the park, but not going to help if QPR drop Taraabt and go for two up top and pacy wingers...

oh...

[Miker]

I get the feeling he's kept the best players on the bench, so he can bring them on some time in the second half, have them score and claim a master stroke. I can already see myself punching a wall by the end of the night...

[frosty]

Nightmare team selection.

[Bluefudge]

Just hope we get in their box more than they get in ours !!

[andyroversmad]

Why has he left all the best players on the bench

[joey_big_nose]

Hum, there is a lot of sense in playing Petrovic, Lowe and Nzonzi together as they will hopefully provide a bit of defensive cover.

Baffled by Roberts up front I have to say.

[ruggles1995]

the clowns playing for a draw by the looks of it. Couldn't of thought of a worse team to pick myself. O well lets hope he knows what hes doing, i doubt it tho.

Thing is, we offer absolutely nothing going forward doing this. Sit back defending for 80 minutes, you will eventually be beaten, besides, they are a terrible bunch of defending midfielders.

3-0 QPR

[Veevs]

Robinson

Salgado Samba Dann Givet

Lowe Petrovic Nzonzi

Hoilet Roberts Olsson

looks solid enough good bench - Bunn, Formica, Rochina, Vukcevic, Goodwillie, Yak, Hanley

Roberts.. 3 inexperienced kids in midfield against a very decent and experienced QPR midfield..genius level of defensive cover on the bench (especially given Salgado, Dann, Samba and Givet) have all missed recent games, Simon on the bench after his performance last week was to obvious...

Will have to see how they line up out there, those midfielders better be covering (and under orders to pressure them) the fullbacks and central defence or Faurlin, SWP, Barton, Tarbaat and co will demolish them.

Simon Garner coud have got in that team

Simon Garners dog would of had a better chance of scoring than our strike force of Roberts..

I would prefer that team by a million miles to be honest.. plenty of scrappers in there.

One thing this proves beyond a shadow of a doubt is Myles and Bruno are not cut out for the premier league.

[Gogger]

Roberts did brilliant and scored two goals against Pune FC, no reason he wont continue that today... eh...

[redroses]

totally ridiculous. Based on that team we'll lose 2 - 0 imo. The one player in our team capable of pinching a goal is left on the bench (Yak). We only make about 2 chances per game and it takes Roberts 5 chances to score. Defeat.

I wish it was 1 goal in 5 chances for Roberts.. Sadly its more like 1 goal every 5 games.

[des]

no idea where the goals will come from I would play a 3-5-2 but what do I know lets hope we win

[Paul Mellelieu]

We are garbage.

[Emge]

With Bolton winning at Wigan now, were are actually at the very bottom of the table ATM!

Wake up Venkys!

[MarkBRFC71]

Awful selection, only positive is Pedersen isn't selected.

Dumbfounded that Rochina can't get in that team - 4 goals this season is probably already more than Roberts would get if he played every game.
