Iroegbunam was a big factor in that too (and Johansen to a lesser extent) and we no longer have that type of player in midfield. So that'll also be a challenge for him, not to mention the totally shit options up front (agree Kelman needs a run, saying that). Just hope he'll get some kind of backing in the Jan window. good point well made. Who do you think is the closest we have to playing that Tim role? Taylor Richards if he can get his mind and body together - Marti has his work cut out there! Dozzell has played that role at times this season with reasonable effect Dixon-Bonner or Duke-McKenna possibly but we've still not seen enough of those two to form a viable opinion. Pedder is the other guy coming through. Sparks could probably tell us more about him. |

Peddar has not got the physique to be played in CM Stan, he’s 21 now and imo highly unlikely to play regularly for the first team. He’s currently on loan at Oxford City and being played as a winger iirc.
DK has very good knowledge and sound judgement of our youngsters imo.

What a shame that villa never loaned us Tim back. Same way we’ve mugged off Armstrong villa appear to have done the same with him. 32 games last season with us zero minutes this season at villa.
If we have any money jan would love see us try get him on perm or loan.

Tim has only played 60 min for Villa U21s this season due to injury.
He had surgery on injury suffered with us before season started and then suffered with back injury.

I know he usually goes 4-3-3 but injuries and suspensions might force a change, so I'd go with a 3-4-2-1:
Begovic
Kakay Cook Dunne
Cannon SDM Field Paal
Chair Willock
Kelman

How you know that I’m impressed with your knowledge. I probably got too much time on my hands now, have to agree with you and Stan’s comments Tim was one of my fav players to watch last season and played a big part in our ability to spring forward quickly. |

I loved how he was able to drop his shoulder and beat his man. Still very raw but can see the talent. |

Willock is all over the pre match publicity so surely he’s starting
I’m strangely little bit excited, not had this feeling about QPR in quite a while

different vibe around the club today. i expect us to win this game tbh. been a long time since i've felt like that.
i think we'll play a much more different style today, it won't be anything extravagant but it'll be much more free flowing

Expecting nothing to be honest. This lot have been shit all season, Marti hasn't had long enough to do anything to change that.

A changed attitude and Cook CB will make a world of difference. That’s what I hope anyway.

The most important factor for me is that we have appointed someone who understands our DNA and wants to recreate it.

None of our youngsters, that I've seen, has that swagger like Tim Iroegbunam. Rare talent that you don't see often. A long legged creature with gliding movement ghosting past players like statues. Reminiscent of Yaya Touré or our very own Samba Diakité. Don't think we have one atm. Aoraha is the best bet to make it as a CM, but he has a totally different style, and is more a classic 6, but still decent going forwards and with an eye for goal. |

I like this team - we have to keep it tight. We are not going to turn into Barcelona overnight and we need to stop the cheap goals first and make us hard to beat |
