QPR V LEEDS UTD 1-3 FT

So now people are saying what I have been advocating all season give the KID'S a game.
But OLLIE won't he is on preservation mode.
To say the game is a not a must win game is ridiculous.
The same also that THE CHIEF is fit he has had no match fitness games.
The problems we have are not just because of injuries.
They have been with us pre our injury crisis.

Let's try and be clear.
1 The Chief needs match fitness games so should not be risked.
2 All home games should be must win that's how you stay in this division.
Lose home games and away games as we do and we go down.

OK Pamment. That makes sense but we just use the term "must win" in a different way. To me, "must win" is like the Forest game at the end of last season ... if we don't win we'll very likely be relegated. This is slightly different. A win would be pretty big and a defeat would be bad news because of the run we've been on. So it's a big game but to me it's not a must win game as we still have 20+ games to go this season and we won't be in the bottom 3 even if we lose.

So let's agree that it's a big game and a win is very much overdue. A win would change the mood a bit and a defeat would deepen the current negativity.

On The Chief I have the same concern. We have a habit of rushing players back too quickly only for them to be injured again. I obviously don't know his state of fitness but it would be a bad decision to rush him back too early.

I know maybe it's not a must win game
But I feel if we lose tomorrow and the run we are on
The fans are going to start to get twitchy as they know we will lose our next game away probably
It's simple we have a patched up injury prone defence a non creative lacking pace midfield and only a tall lump scoring from long balls mostly
It's looking like we really could go down,yes we are sort of mid table lower half and a dangerous position to be if we don't win the next few games
We need ten wins to stay up and that's a big ask to be honest,considering a lot games will be against top 6 away
We have to try and beat teams around us somehow dig ourselves out of this hole
League one was a laugh last time and we won a lot of games but I don't want Holloway to stay
Get Gareth ainsworth or Karl Robinson as I've had enough of the blood sweat and tears talk all the time,it don't get you points on the board

To add to the surprise inclusion of Onuoha in the team selection, it appears that Perch is not far behind and even Hall is back training (although the latter is hoping it will work rather than resort to surgery, so it seems a last-chance saloon scenario for him). No news on Lynch or the anonymous Caulker though....

Further good news (it just keeps on coming when your back is against the wall)...Leeds have announced that:

Finally, anybody else brave enough or stupid enough to have a go at the starting line-up? For what it is worth, here is mine:

Smithies
Furlong Onuoha Robinson Bidwell
Wszolek Scowen Luongo
Smith Freeman Washington

Villa still had players worth multiple millions even with a depleted squad..

Hard to call the line up kingfisher

Don't think we can know for certain if Onuoha will start again. Need to be careful with all the Christmas matches ahead.

I'd guess:

Smithies
Cousins Onuoha Robinson Bidwell
Scowen
Luongo Freeman
Sylla Smith Washington

Maybe Wheeler instead of Sylla.
