QPR Vs Portsmouth

Well done on the podcast guys, and I agree that our home form remains concerning. As mentioned the lack of urgency and the team's balance has been two major issues. I was a big critic of Warburton who persisted in playing a system that didn't match the capabilities of his players and because he was stubborn it nearly got him the sack. My question is, are we now seeing the same situation with Marti. It hasn't helped that our squad is very weak and that when Colback isn't available we lack a player whose capable of imposing himself on the the opposition.

The game against Portsmouth will be a lot harder than some fans think and whilst it would great to get a clean sheet I'm hopeful that the return of Illias will give us enough of an attacking threat to win. The important thing is that we stop trying to play Dunne as a Central Defender and we stop using Madsen as a holding midfielder. Neither have worked and Marti has to accept that playing the likes of Fox and EDB will give us a better balanced team.

Nardi
Dunne, Cooke, Fox, Paal
Field, EDB
Dembele, Madsen, Chair
Frey

Subs, Walsh, Ashby, Santos, Morgan,Talla, Andersen, Smyth, Saito, Celar

Is Varane available for this one, I think he is our best bet with no Colback. 

Great news on JCS

Varane is definitely out of this game as this is the final game of his 3 match ban.

If Marti doesn't fancy EDB in midfield, the return of JCS, may offer him the opportunity to play either Fox or Paal in the left sided midfield role. My preference would be for Paal to take the left midfield role and Fox to play at left back.

I was wondering about Dunne as well, worked when we pushed him out to right back, if it works as a 6 we can try him at 10 next week…

Cardiff have beaten Plymouth
We lose today we will be bottom of the table

Bottom of the table clash
Squeaky bum time coming up at 3pm then
1-1 draw I reckon
