QPR v Blackburn 4 - 2 FT

This has become quite an important match as it won't be ideal heading into the international break on the back of 3 games without victory.

You raise a lot of good questions kingfisher.

Kelly will certainly keep his place. Barbet will definitely return to the defence.
If Hall is fit I sense he may return to 3-5-2. If he isn't I think he may stick with the 4-2-3-1 with Barbet just replacing Cameron at the back.

I imagine they will hold Amos back until after the international break.

I'd predict:

Kelly
Kane Leistner Barbet Manning
Ball Scowen
BOS Eze Chair
Wells

But it's anybody's guess and that is okay of the problem because Warburton is still trying to find his best 11 and best shape. The best teams have consistency in selection.

Win, Lose or Draw we have to play a 5-3-2 formation because we have a very weak defence. If we get beaten by a better team then we just take our hat off to them. What we cant do is to just set up with a 4 man defence and have lots of posseson but then get hit on the break. Playing just 2 central defenders leaves us too exposed and gives us a soft underbelly.

Hall is not the fastest but he is speedier than either Leistner or Barbet and should be part of the 3 man central defence. The Cardiff game is now in the past but if neither Wallace or Masterson were considered for that game then they aren't going to get picked on Saturday. Kane and Manning will be the wing backs.

The 3 in front of the defence should be Chair, Cameron and Eze with Hugill and Wells up front. Ball might feel unlucky to be dropped but Cameron is a better defensive midfielder. Hugill has now gone 4 games without a goal and if he doesn't score against Blackburn it will be time for a change.

Yup.... today feels VERY big

COME ON!!!

20 minutes gone, sounds like a dull affair so far.

In a bar in Cyprus getting updates from Sky online, according to Sky's Bianca Westwood Blackburn were the better side in that first half. I can't believe that's true because it appears they have only had 2 shots and neither was on target. Is anybody watching the game?
