v QPR (a) - 7/10/23

[rovers11]

QPR fans not happy with their line up either so maybe we have a chance!

[jim mk2]

Moran and Brittain - 2 of our better players at Coventry - dropped, which I find hard to understand

Dolan leading the "attack". The coach does have a sense of humour

Strange couple of changes there. Dolan definitely a favourite of JDT. Not convinced bt that side

Bit of perspective needed, if we had a half-decent striker available he'd be upfront, but we don't.

He could rest during the international break

tis true,maybe jdt wants the sack and the best way to get it is to lose games,some of his team shapes have been suspiciously open to conceding goals

So we play a shit winger there ? Not my idea of a viable plan, I hope by 17.00 I am eating humble pie.

Have to admit I hadn't thought of that..... try to deliberately lose games so he gets the boot and ends his Ewood agony.

Dolan and Markanday starting == A Loss

Our chance is that we are playing a team that is out of form and results.

Not that I've watched them this season so don't know if they are a Gareth team or if he's now playing pretty tippy happy going nowhere like us.

[booth]

Relegation zone if we lose this one, and I don't like that opening line up one bit so I won't be surprised if we are right down there by the end of the day.

Then again there aren't many combinations of our squad I do like, it's bland or blander. I don't trust many of them to get a result.

There is no way we are paying to terminate his contract. He could lose every game between now and the end of the season and the only things garunteed are he would not be sacked and Chaddy would be calling for more time for him.

Criminal playing Dolan up front, would have been better giving Telelovic a Start.

He has missed quite a few easy chances in previous games when playing Left Forward

Callum Brittain who along with Sammie Szmodicz is our player of the season so far- on the bench 

No striker on the pitch - both on the bench 

Moran who's been one of our better performers lately - on the bench 

Cool

Their chance is that they're playing a team that is out of form and results. Add no striker and the worst defensive record into the mix and QPR must also be confident of a win today. 

Gareth Ainsworth teams do not play tippy tippy football. Quite the opposite.

They are all shit rigger. It'll be someone else next match, and they'll be just as shit.

On half time he'll change things about, Dolan will most likely move to a wing, and whoever replaces him will be shit.

With about ten minutes to go Telelovic will replace Dolan and go upfront, and he'll be shit.

I too hope I'm eating humble pie by 5pm.

Yep, I really like JDT, but Dolan offers nothing and I can't see how he doesn't see that. Start Telalovic or Ennis and sub the other one on if they're not match fit.

Markanday is L1 quality too - baffling that he's starting.

Moran ran his socks off on Wednesday, that's the only reason I can think of.

He's 19, should be well able for it. Even an hour. Should be playing end of story.

[booth]

Trying to be positive, at least Travis isn't on the pitch.

[BigBar]

Only consolation is QPR are really struggling so could manage to get a win despite the bizarre decisions of the manager. 

[Angry_Pirate]

Really pleased we haven't started a striker today!

I was always taught that if you haven't got, or can't get the players for a certain system, then change the system to one that your available players can play.

Even if you're risking an injury by doing so?

At the end of the day we shouldn't be relying on a 19 year old loanee.

God forbid! Still hoping we might see Ennis today for some reason.
