Now admittedly the team/squad isn’t the most experienced and they are still getting familiar with each other and quite a few of them are stepping up in regards to playing level. But I’d like to start seeing the team become a little more “Streetwise”, “crafty”, with regard to game management, especially if/when they take the lead in a game. A simple example is playing the ball into space, perhaps behind a fullback or between a centre halve and fullback. Let QPR’s attacking midfielders and Centre Forward chase the ball, pressure the opposition defender and let the team push up the park. Occasionally the opposition defender will make a mistake under pressure, play a bad ball, give away a throw in, a corner and sometimes goals come from these types of situations. Bright, Dykes, Chair all seem to have good pace, not sure about Willock, but certainly pop the occasional ball over the head and into the space behind the fullback on Brights side of the pitch or between the Full back and Centre Halve. occasionally. I’m not saying it should be done all the time, but if the opposition is pressing high when QPR’s back line is in possession, it’s a good tactic to employ occasionally. Obviously this goes against Warburtons style of “Possession Football”. But I think it would be good for the team to “mix it up” now and again. I’d like to see Warburton getting the team to do this in games at the right times. It also helps utilise the capabilities of the front 4, other than trying to play through teams all the time.

I honestly think the issue is that warbs doesn’t have a plan b. We were warned and it certainly seems it’s the case. Brilliant when it works but utterly useless when we are sussed out. I like him but he seems very stubborn and unwilling to mix it up to me. Ultimately in the end it will cost him his job. It’s a matter of when not if. Really frustrating because we’ve got the makings of a good side at this level but our inability to defend or even show signs of learning from mistakes is ridiculous |

I honestly think the issue is that warbs doesn’t have a plan b. That and slow transitions. Problems that we've had under successive managers. Being nice guys isn't enough. Re the OP: it doesn't matter if Willock lacks a bit of pace as long as you play him in the right place, ie behind the line finding the space for the pace to run onto. Scott Parker destroyed us a couple of years back doing exactly this, and he couldn't run a yard. Heads up football. |
