Lenny Henry in midfield

[Ginger Ninja]

I was wondering how long it would take for the first scapegoat to be made. 2 league games must be a record.

Henry played ok yesterday. Better than Derry would have done and more combative than anyone apart from Barton would have been.

Its embarrassing isn't it Ginge

We spend 9months bagging the team and players for not being close and a unit and having no cohesion then when we get a team that appear to want to fight for each other we as fans instead of being united start to single players out.

WE ALL have a part to play if this season is going to be a success players and fans as ONE.

The time to criticise constructively will no doubt come but its not after three games when were undefeated and actually looking good

[OneEyedWilly]

Whats a forum without a scapegoat to abuse?!

[Pey]

If someone didn't fit in yesterday it was Granero, he is just not used to the championship, gets a shove and expects free kicks all the time.
Also when he has to combat he is not up for it and loses battles and moans.

Henry did ok , no more not less

So true, he did well and imo he's a bargin at 500k. We all know that Derry is getting old and noone know if Barton will stay... So what to do, we needed a defensive midfielder before the season started. Well done to Tony, Harry and the board!

Just got back the past hour from that shyte hole up north. lots to catch up on.

this thread first............... what an absolute shhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyttttttteeeeeeeeeee player.

no wonder wolves got relegated two years running if they had this plum protecting their defence.

utter rot of a player. and yes, he is one of my 3 scapegoats along with that other day dreamer graner-shat

Did you even watch the game? Granero was fine yesterday , he wasn't moaning at all and got stuck into everything he could.

[westsussexranger]

distinctly average won about 3 tackles and if forced to pass the ball more than 5 yards hes in trouble.not what you are looking for if you want to get out of the championship.much prefer barton in there.with a wide man on the wing.fear is we may have come up against 3 pretty average sides time will tell.

Think that's why granero played yesterday. Henry could just give it to him who could then move the ball on. Whether granero did that is your own opinion

[Shepherds Mush]

Has Henry been in QPR team that has lost ?

[72bus]

henry when he has the ball hangs on to it for to long , he loves to dilly dally , if he plays the simple ball i have no problem as long as we keep posession . i saw the game and he did alright . we had enough chances to win

[Dazzer1977]

IMO he weren't as slow as Granero was. The only real thing he did wrong was pick up the mantle of poor passing when the latter went off. I think as I have read elsewhere, IMO we missed Faurlin.

[MattyRangers]

Rangers fans are so fickle. He does the exact same job as Derry but Henry gets criticised for it and Derry is held up as an example.

Derry in the main is a terrible passer but makes up for this by putting his foot in and tries to disrupt the oppositions play I therefore give you Henry who is Derry with a better engine. The lad played a couple of passes short yesterday but other then that he done exactly what he was asked to do.

In second half when they had one of their few attacks and there player was through on goal ready to shoot who threw himself infront of the ball and cleared it out which led to the counter attack for SWP

What were people expecting when we signed him a black Adel????

THIS!

You're not wrong mate. Embarrassing.

[vblockranger]

Granero/Henry doesnt work as a CM pairing. Granero is too lightweight and was shoved off the ball numerous times then went down in a heap looking for a free kick whic he never got. Good passes from Granero...but mainly sideways. Henry did ok tbf.
