Gladwin

But having him there puts Yeni on the right, meaning we have one winger who actually plays for the cross at least. Right now, Cousins is central and Yeni cuts in... with Hoilett it'll be Hoilett cuts in and Yeni stays wide.

Having Hoilett on the left does not necessarily mean Yeni plays on the right- JFH would probably still select Cousins to play there.

He's had a hell of a lot more time, he joined last summer! Not one good game for us, that I've seen myself. Awful player, puts in the effort and credit to him, but simply not good enough. And that includes last season.

And more or less sent out on two loans straight away. I would guess off top of my head Washington has Played and had more game time then him and we keep being told he needs more time

The fact that he was out on loan and came back showing still no improvement says it all. Unfortunately the championship is a step up too far for him. For the record, I'm in the Washington is quite poo camp too.

The whole concept of playing right footed wingers on the left (and vice versa) is being found out, and not before time. You want your winger to be where he can do maximum damage, ie the by-line, roughly where Hoilett ended up for the Bobby moment. That way your front men get service facing goal and you max the chances of chaos in the area.

If your wide man has to keep cutting in because he is on the wrong side it becomes totally predictable. Some believe the fashion for wrong side wingers/wides came from one up systems ie if the winger cuts in your 9 will be less isolated. It's a really good example of one dubious system begetting another. You actually end up with crosses from non threatening angles with everyone including your striker (s) back to goal. It sucks.

What can and should happen is that your wing men start on their right side but swap as and when, that can cause problems and frees up options. It isn't rocket science.

The real solution is to find two footed players......

Spot on.
I want to see wingers playing on the wing and getting crosses into the box or going to the byline to pick out a player with a cut back.
Ideally these wingers are also capable of cutting inside to shoot with their weaker foot.

Does he not get the same opportunity as Washington and Yeni to find his feet in this league

Yeniis not being given the opportunity when selected out of position,. In fact it is counter productive to do this.

I agree Nass but I don't believe Gladwin is the answer.

Shodipo must be shagging JFH's wife as I can't understand why he hasn't had a kick since Leeds, yet playing others out of position!

Lol. Seriously though, why the fudge is Shodipo not playing. Answers on a postcard to JFH.

JFH selected Shodipo for pre season games where he played well. Then in the opener against Leeds and had a storming 1st half, but since then, sod all.

Agree about Washington...can QPR get the money back?

[Shepherds Mush]

Gladwin hasn't played well at any point since the Watford game.

Been carrying an injury hasn't he?

[acricketer]

Any news on our good luck charm. We were doing alright until he got injured.

[HertsHoops]

Think he was on the bench yesterday, sure he was warming up halftime before/after the Forever R's thing

Correct, made it back to the bench. Dunno who's spot he's going to take to be honest. Expect him to be behind Wszolek, Shodipo, Yeni and CW in the starting 11 on either side.

[Hertford Hoop]

We have too many players who are finding the step up too big a jump. Maybe if we are patient we might see an improvement but we aren't a very patient lot at QPR

[West Acton]

I'm in minority here but I like him and think their is something worth investing time in. He hugs the touchline and holds his position and think our form dipped with his injury. Not prettiest player and can see why some don't like but I would personally have him challenging for first team place

I agree. The bloke likes attacking and works hard when we don't have the ball.

[acricketer]

Might he make an appearance tomorrow night?
