Game 33: Bristol City 0 QPR 1 (14/02/24. Chair)

The suggested 11 you quoted included him (apologies I thought that was your post tbf but you were only quoting it). I was half jesting anyway, Willock hardly renowned for effort (especially of late).

No we need 11 men not jokers

He has become so slow with his acceleration., it means his sharp bursts and turns of old don’t work anymore.

Equally i finally have to admit Chair actually produces very little considering how much of the game he is on the ball. It’s half the reason no one has come in for him.

Why not try chair on right so he don’t have to keep cutting in he can try just beating man and whipping ball in.

Under Warburton was Willock not playing off the left?? If so why we messed that about. Willock way better at cutting in and delivering with both feet then Chair so surely makes more sense have him in that role and let chair concentrate on using one foot on his natural side.

You had Willock on the left WITH Chair with Lee Wallace overlapping and crossing. All three dove-tailed off each other to great effect. 

I've always said you get the best out of Chair and Willock when they play together on the left. (Yes, in theory you could switch them to the right, like you're suggesting.)

Paal or Larkeche could do the Wallace role too. Paal has done so at times but is currently out of form. 

I also liked it when they moved around the pitch together. It worked.

Not Kakay please.

I get what you're saying but Smyth is shit. Don't wanna see him until 60 mins + in games from now on. 

I kind of see the sense like saying you got us in the mess you sort it but Smyth is so bad as a starter it’s like being a man down.

Personally would have kakay over cannon.

worth considering but you’d have to teach Cannon and Paal how to cross a ball if they are the width.

fair point

Surely we need 2 up front every game now

Its shit or bust time no

Agree. Would just add that the defensive midfielders probably deserve some credit for keeping the goals - and chances - down. But maybe playing with two such players is one of the reasons we don't score more goals. Is Hayden good enough to play there on his own, at least at home to Rotherham?
