Sheffield Utd v QPR 4Oct22 0-1 FT 4th/21pts

A draw here would be an impressive result... I think we'll lose this one but narrowly

would love a draw from this

who knows possibly nick a victory? but like most think i would accept a draw

think Sheff Utd are on fire at the moment so wont be too disappointed if we lose this one

think the team will need re-jigging and think we will opt for Kakay at left back to give Paal a rest and JCS may miss out as both the players mentioned picked up strains

my guess would be

Dieng
Laird Dunne Balogun Kakay
Johansen Field Dozzell
Chair Dykes Willock

Dickie, Paal and JCS have all been passed fit for this game so it will be our strongest squad of players that Beale would have been able to choose from.

With this game following on quickly from the Bristol match and the Reading game only 3 days later I'd imagine that we will see a few changes to ensure that the majority of players are kept as fresh as possible. I can see Beale going with a 3-5-2 formation against the Blades before reverting to a more attacking 4-3-3 against Reading.

I think his team for Sheffeild Utd will be,

Dieng
Dickie, Balogun, JCS
Laird, Imroegbunum, Field, Chair, Paal
Roberts, Willock

I have just listened to Mick Beale's latest interview and unless he's trying to get one over Sheffield United I'm now inclined to agree with what you are saying. Mick was explaining how most teams in this league have a preference to go with 3-5-2 system and how our 4-3-3 system has so far been quite successful at combating that set up.

TEAM NEWS: AMOS, DOZZELL AND DUNNE START

JCS, JOHANSEN AND IROEGBUNAM DROP OUT

Dickie returns to the bench replacing Kakay.

Chair captains QPR for the first time.

That midfield choice of Dozzell, Field and Amos is a brave move from Mick Beale.

Jesus... They look good

And quite dirty too.

It'll be a miracle if we get out of here with anything
