QPR v Southampton | Match Thread

Apparently kolli left out of squad again. More rumours of stuff going on behind the scenes. Don't get it. If we were top of the league then fine but we don't exactly look like scoring apart from burrell who we may have to give a rest soon.

Although it could kone that gets restee tonight. We need another bod in midfield. Getting overrun in last few games. First rule of the Championship is to be hard to beat. We don't look like that currently.

What Kolli rumours?

Sat in a bar in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote and have had a few beers keeping out of the 26c outside! I'm getting a bit piŁŁEd and am looking forward to commenting on the promotion thread come 10pm

The return of Kwame Poku to the bench saw Kader Dembele miss out from the matchday squad altogether, although that is not thought to be due to an injury.

Jake Clarke-Salter is thought to be available but is yet to make a squad this term.

Bit concerned for tonight but we definitely need a reshuffle in personnel. I'm expecting to see Poku start with saito. We must get something from this game even it's just a point. Massive game and losing 3 on the bounce just wouldn't be acceptable.

Certainly didn’t see anything Saturday to give me the slightest hope that tonight will be anything better.Almost irrelevant who he picks at the moment. Apols but Saturday is as a killer for me. Never left a game that early before. Our three seats will be empty tonight

[daveshads]

Should we lose badly this evening, which is a possibility,
I really think we will need to address the captaincy issue as a matter of urgency.

Sorry I can't be more positive, but something feels all wrong. Here's hoping my take on this is miles out.

Whatever team he picks I'm sure there will be some surprises.

Nardi, Esquardinha and Kone need a ‘rest’ or dropped whatever you want to calm it?

Personally, I’d like us to try and play Chair more centrally, maybe in behind Burrell perhaps? 4-4-1-1 formation.

Hamer, Dunne Mbengue Morrison Norrington-Davies, Smyth Madsen Varane Saito, Chair, Burrell.

JS must at least try and pick our best X1 to give us half a chance! You Rrs!

Good shout, but I think the central pairing of Madsen & Varane is just too weak. Personally I'd give Morgan a central birth instead of Varane, who I think has got an eye on a Jan exit. At least Morgan will have the desire to break up some of their attacks. Or, stick Mirgan at RB and Dunne as defensive midfield where he has played before.

Poku injured
is there a requirement when players sign for us,
They have to become members of the fukin sick note club.

Problem is that we have had so many players out injured so far this season. However; I hope he will go for a more settled team from now on.

The main problem is that JS seems obsessessed with the busy nature of the EFL schedule and is hell-bent on resting and rotating players that are not actually injured. It's ironic that our significant dip in form has come during a period when the bulk of our injured players have returned to fitness.... his tinkering, fiddling and worrying has badly dented our early season momentum.

He urgently needs to get a grip, stop mollycoddling the delicate players and put a rocket up their asses to start putting some hard yards in - The Championship IS a slog and and a battle.
