Hull Vs QPR

Apart from Thomas and Balogun I believe we are in the surprising position of having squad members fighting for places again! I cannot see NC changing formation, but I can see him picking Johansen and even Roberts to start. So, here is my guess:

Dieng
Laird JCS Dunne Paal
Richards Johansen Field
Lowe Chair Dykes

I will be waiting to get details when we land in Doha, en route back from hols. SydneyR did the trip in reverse and managed to take in the Swansea game (how was the experience?).

I thought it was a hamstring twing, so should be OK? (Fingers crossed because he is such a good player.)

This is a game where we could see some changes and even though Kakay is no wing back I could see Critchley going with a back 3 to shore up the defence. However, I believe that Critchley will probably stick with 4-4-2 and go,

Dieng
Kakay, Dunne, JCS, Paal
Chair, Field,Johansen, Lowe
Roberts, Dykes

Tad confusing up front, and BBC decided it was Uncle Albert up front as the sole striker! Perhaps he is tasked with protecting Kakay on the right wing? What was a little more understandable was JCS and Johansen only making the bench.
Got to get back to sleep now as middle of the night here and have to prepare for a flooded Auckland Airport, where the sh*t has already landed apparently - whilst a plane in the rain took out the landing lights and we have a general state of emergency!

Critchley got his selection wrong. Adomah offered nothing and playing without a striker does not work.


Ireogbunam was half arsed all half long, glad he's gone off. He does not work in a deep 2. It completely negates the one positive of his play driving forward.

Big improvement needed. Again.

We are a shambles right now.

Critchley is losing his mind on the touchline and the players heads have gone.

The marking for goals 2 and 3 is Sunday League.

For both goals Connolly is just on his own. For the second how can a simple pass find a striker centre of goal 30 yards out with nobody near him? He then slots it to the side and Dickie goes for it with the wrong leg. For the third we are all ball watching.

This is genuinely concerning. We never look like scoring and could concede every time Hull attack.
