Connolly or Borrowdale?

[Dando]

Obviously, most of us can see Connolly and Gorkss should be the partnership at the back, but cant see it happening after Hall being picked a number of times in pre season. Surely Connolly wont be left out the side? But Borrowdale being the only left back, will he play instead against Blackpool?? Surely not?

[BennyBoyRs]

I'd rather have Heider play at LB than Connolly. Never a need to sacrifice who I believe to be our best CB to the LB position.

Dando, if you were at the game on Saturday, you would not ask that question.

im not criticising Borrowdale - what I am saying is that Connolly is clearly a first choice centre back in most of our eyes, but can you see JM dropping Hall or Gorkks? So unless Borrowdale is dropped, then where does Connolly fit in?

[paulmason]

Connolley has to play if he is fit. It looks like JM prefers the pairing of Fitz and Gorkks so it looks like Connolley will be a left back.

Borrowdale looks nervous going forward and looks to go back or sideways.

[Yousef]

Isn't Ramage LB as well?

[stanistheman]

I have never seen Borrowdale play, but from most accounts of that I have read about him, is that he isn't good.

I don't think it makes a lot of sense to play one of the best CH in the squad at Left back and even less, because he is right footed. However, he is better than Borrowdale, but I do think that any good pacy right winger will be able to beat Connolly down the flanks.

This leaves me wondering why the hell, QPR have not made more of an effort to bring in a left back?

Doyley could be bought from Watford. QPR perhaps could have even offered Vignal a short term deal, although maybe they did and he turned them down.

Surely there are other left backs available to buy or loan, or is it that the club doesn't want to spend any more money bringing one in?

[Stedders]

It should be:

Ramage - Gorkss - Connolly - Borrowdale

Play people in their proper positions.

you'll get nowhere with joined up thinking like that...

That's what it should be (even though Borrowdale looks a bag of nerves), but I bet that.s not the line up as Hall will not be dropped.

Spot on stedders
I thought Borrowdale did well v southamption
Sound defensively and it was his left foot cross into the box that lead to Balanta's goal

Ramage Connolly Gorkss Van Aanholt

I do have a feeling that Connolly may be a right back tho this season.

Reason being if we want to play fast attacking football the full-backs need to be comfortable on the ball. Connolly is, Ramage isn't. Van Aanholt will be coming from PSV and Chelsea.

If Connolly goes RB

Connolly Stewart/ Hall Gorkss Van Aanholt

[EYR]

How does Van Annholt walk straight into the team?

Stick with Connolly at LB and Gorkks + Stewart/Hall (Ramage at RB)

Because he's come to QPR for first team football.
If he wants reserves or the bench, he'd have stayed at Chelsea or PSV.

This kid is a top future prospect, for Chelsea and Holland.

Think Mancienne, but left footed and Dutch.
He starts.

[ollyhoops]

Well when we start leaking goals, Hall will soon be dropped.
