Can Mahon and Leighterwood Play Together?

[WeAreQPR12]

Benny he was referring to your comment about Plymouth.

[BennyBoyRs]

Knew that.

Just looking forward to wagering with him that they go down this season.

Last season they played 33 times together in the centre of midfield. We won 10, lost 9 and drew 14. Over the course of the 46 match season we averaged 1.32 points a game. With Mahon and Leigertwood in the middle we average 1.33 points a game. Preston finished 6th averaging 1.6 points a game so although the didn't do too badly they didn't do brilliantly either.

The really odd thing is the number of managers that have played them together in centre midfield. We all know it's not a great pairing but we are not (contrary to somes opinions) experts and paid football managers - so why do all of our managers begin their tenures with this pairing?

Benny don't wager with him.
I put on a bet with Pete regarding Blackstock.
I said he wouldn't score 15 goals this season.
As proven he is not even getting in.
He said he would pay me £5 for every goal under 15 and I would pay £5 for every goal over. It was a bet we agree that was to do with league goals. He now denies all knowledge and said cup goals was included. I thought he was a decent bloke until he came out with that ****.

Mate, Dex got in the team straight after recovering.
Not sure about 15 goals but he'll score more than our forwards.

I will still have the Plymouth bet as I sincerely believe they are the worst team in the league...something I called before the season started. They've been gradually going downhill for the past few season and will continue to do so as they have lost most of their key players.

no no no no no no no.....

Mahon shouldnt be near our first team

Have you been to the 2 games this season?

If you had, you would have seen him have two tidy and comfortable games.

Very useful player to have.

[Youvebeenrangered]

They can, but we wont win many games if they do. They make us to defensive.

Totally agree. Last years stats show that when they play together we don't lose many but we struggle to score and win. Buzsaky has to return to the centre of midfield.

[leewads]

Not unless Legs goes to right back but in midfield no way never works.

[scarface]

It's a pairing suited to away games were the going is going to be tough and your going to have too soak up pressure,but not at places like plymouth where we should be looking to win games.

Buszaky should be moved back into the centre were he can do more damage with taarabt moving to the left and dare i say a second proper striker upfront.

[Robsondinho]

Mahon gets ufair stick IMO. His decent at what he does. Scored a few important goals also.

[Gtleighsr3]

its just like the lumpard and gerrard Eng prob

[ollyhoops]

Yes they can....

[scarface]

The problem is you dont need them both holding the middle we need one of our centre midfielders breaking into the box.There both good players but both do the same job.
