Don't the rest of the team have some responsibility to utilise the extra space freed up by them putting 2 players on him?

It's because the system that got us those 4 wins seems to have been found out. Granted that was by better teams than QPR, but make no mistake, QPR will have looked at our last 2 games and will likewise try to exploit our defence's high line and individual defensive weaknesses. The introduction...

I would like us to go back to 4-3-3 but if Dasilva is left back that is a problem. 4-3-3 also allows us to play Van Ewijk and Sakamoto together who are both much more effective when the other is in the team. My choice of team would therefore be: Dovin Van Ewijk Thomas Kitching Burroughs Eccles...

I know it won't happen but if Bidwell was not fit for the QPR game I think I would rather Burroughs play than Dasilva.

Agree on this. What was the point of keeping Burroughs as back up to MVE when you don't play him if MVE is rested?

Asante doesn't strike me as a natural sole striker. Perhaps Lampard is saving Bassette for a penalty shoot out!

What about Wasps then?

When Godden got his goals for us they always seemed to come in prolific spurts, surrounded either side by much drier spells.

I'm ok with that as long as he doesn't change the keeper. If he wants to bring in Binks, Dasilva, Eccles, Sakamoto and Bassette then fine.

If everyone was fit and in form I would favour 4-3-3: Dovin Van Ewjik Thomas Kitching Bidwell Sheaf, Rudoni, Grimes Sakamoto Wright Mason-Clark

He certainly likes the old trick of slowing up as he approaches the ball and then falling over when he feels the slightest touch. It cost us at Norwich but he gets away with it mostly. As Oggy said in commentary the other night if you are going to do it make sure you fall on the ball, but...

They are ahead of Eccles in the pecking order right now, and on form since the Plymouth game fairly so. I would be surprised if they are both still ahead of Eccles come the end of the season however.

Leeds are clearly the best team in the league, but plenty of other Championship teams have provided them more of a test away from Elland Road than we did tonight. Hopefully its a lesson learned for Lampard as we were set up far too passively in the first half. The only way to beat Leeds was to...

You make it sound like we have a choice. No point making no effort in the cup game if our 'first team' end up losing the other games.

At only 20 it is possible for him to make a big leap forward very quickly. Furthermore, injuries and loss of form to those deemed to currently be ahead of him are likely to happen over the course of a season, when we are likely to need him to step in. Talk of a loan to League 1 seems a very...

Not sure, but judging from the comments on here it might have been Sick Boy.

On the face of it scheduling the Leeds match for next week seems pretty short sighted on our part. In not having a midweek game themselves Ipswich ought to be fresher than us in the cup game on the Saturday, as should QPR (who don't have a weekend game) the following midweek, in what otherwise...

He did and looked a decent enough prospect at the time. He was painfully slow though!

I hope we are not getting too far ahead of ourselves with this. I can imagine this news might alert a few other clubs to try and snatch him off us which would be hugely disappointing now we are all discussing him as if he has already signed.

Thanks I've googled it now. Seems very strange to me why anyone would be dumb enough to think he died in prison in the 80's when he had such a well publicised life after he left prison, let alone that this would then be used as a prime example of a common misconception :rolleyes: Anyway what...
