so if we are bringing in the famous five...

[stainrodisalegend]

while Bale is not an option, are we to suppose that we are happy with our existing full-backs?

[W10 RANGER]

I am not happy with our full-backs.. they have conceded 36 goals already!!! the highest in the top half of the championship table.

[qblockpete]

With a stronger midfield, they won't be under so much pressure. Simples..

[ollyhoops]

True.

I always said that if a team is playing badly, always look at your midfield....

Kinda missing the whole point there and you are also making a very big assumption.

Present Full Backs offer very little going forward and defensively they are not the strongest, we should not be relying on the ability of other players to make up for our lack of ability in other areas of the pitch.

Full Backs have been an issue for some time now as well as a big Centre Forward who wins the ball in the air and doesn't get muscled off the ball. I know it, you know it and everyone else knows it.

seems perfectly logical to me!!!

That is :surrender:true!! It ALL started when Mahon and Rowlands got injured. Since then It seems to be a huge gap between midfield and defence backwards and sideways. Strange that this hasnt been solved with players from our current squad really, but obviously we havent got the players with the will to tackle nor the vision to be able to break/block a pass.
In other words, MAHON AND Rowland were immensly important players to our team.

So having only 1 natural FB (who lets face it, is average at best) at the club is enough to push for promotion because we are strengthening our midfield????????

[terry ball]

Buzz, routledge and adel contribute very little defensivley. it's important to have solid fullbacks with pace, too often we have been done out wide, resulting in a goal. A right back is must, ramage Is a centre half and comes in for some unfair stick.

Yeh, look back over time at every successful club, NONE of them EVER had a decent pair of fullbacks, and ALL relied on their front 6 making sure the ball NEVER got past their world class midfield.

Christ-on-a-bike...I really worry about you sometimes Pete. Wilson and Bardsley ring any bells? You might have been supporting Chelsea then, so go Google them...

nothing to do with the centre backs then.....2 man defence...ok

[themodfather]

name one full back at qpr??
ramage and connolly are centre halves...i assume borrowdale then???
legs is midfield...

we have needed 2 decent full backs for 5 yrs....padula was ok and kelly was good.
forbes, was ok?? until "incident" and new career at grumsby.

Bignot has never been replaced. We must have signed (i'm only guessing here)somewhere in the region of 40-50 players( inc loans) since the takeover. Not one of those have been a right back. Why?
