Coping without Faurlin on Saturday..

[paulmason]

Legs to replace Faurlin for me. We need the shield that Derry and Faurlin provide. Buz doesn't have the defensive side of his game to play in Faurlin's position. He didn't impress me at all when he replaced Faurlin on Tuesday night. He only improved when Taarabt came off and Legs came on.

Buzz is best played in behind the striker, so it makes sense he played well in his favored position when he replaced Taarabt on Tuesday. After saying that, Buzz played very well in the middle at the end of last season with Faurlin, so I cant see why he would not be able to do the same with Derry.

I like sticking with winning teams too. I'd be content for Faurlin to play the nbench if Rangers are winning in the revised format when he recovers. After all, that is why Buz himself can't get in the starting XI at the moment

[W6hoops]

Buzz or Woody i would`ve thought. I reckon Rowly could be on the bench

[westlondonranger]

faurlin said he felt his groin was a bit tight so warnock took him off as a precaution it says on the official aswell. it doesnt say anything about him being out for saturday

[Hertford Hoop]

I think we may really miss/struggle without Faurlin on Saturday (hope I'm wrong)

Straight Buzsaky swap ? Legs ? (hope not) Rowlands too early ?

The difference this season is that we can bring on the likes of Buzz or Legs from the bench who are in decent form. I expect Buzz to start but if Legs got the nod then so be it, in NW we trust

[Rsonist]

Yeah this is a tricky one. Buz gives you better distribution and could keep us ticking but Leicester are strong enough in midfield that you might want a more defensive player in there. Then again if Legs keeps giving the ball away that will hurt us just as much as not winning it in the first place. We're going to have to hope whoever gets picked will be able to adapt.... shame Rowly isn't fit yet.

Do we know that Ally is out?

[westlondonranger]

Do we know that Ally is out?

no on the website warnock said he took him off as a precaution but everyone seems to think hes out for ever

Playing Buzsaky in Faurlins position is sqaure peg in round hole time again it has to be Legiertwood even though he is a pile of ####.

Buzsaky is Taarabts understudy now and that is it.

[paulmason]

If Taarabt asks nicely and throws him a few quid, I'm sure Buzz will clean his boots for him as well.

great comments re rollands but i dought he'll be good enough for this side mentally or physically

[singingranger]

:grining
maybe W12, but it's nw in charge not yourself!!

[Fez]

Buz has got a chance to stake his claim to a place in the team, he's more than capable of this and IMO when on form is even better than Faurlin. Not quite the same player, he's not as good defensively but hopefully we can pull off a result anyway!

[m_cooper]

rowly,leggs or connolly for me;definitely not buzz

[stanistheman]

its a big loss, but even Legs is an improvement on last season, in terms of a replacement player. I dont think anyone who replaces Faurlin will be as effective in terms of his role, but we definately have enough quality to replace him temporarily, and whoever gets given their chance will probably raise their game, to try and earn their place

not on his showing against Port Vale he isn't.

I think it is too early for Rowlands, so would select Buzsaky. The problem is, Faurlin is much better at defensive play than Buzsaky, so it wont exactly be a straight swap. I think QPR may have to have a slight change of tactics for this and the next few games.
