Butland madea howler today for QPR’s first goal. Certainly not worth £30m.
He knows nobody is going to pay £30 million so he has a cunning plan...
Butland madea howler today for QPR’s first goal. Certainly not worth £30m.
Thought he had a decent game
GK: Boruc - Almost by default after the other three blew it in the final friendlies
I think “blown it” is just exaggerated forum speak but I’m not sure either has quite done enough to show they are better than Boruc at this stage. We do have a very nervous home crowd so the worry with a young keeper is how they cope with the inevitable North Stand groans when they slice a clearance out for a throw in.I don’t see how Travers or Ramsdale have blown it. They made about two significant mistakes between them. Personally I find them both, especially Ramsdale, to be a reassuring presence in goal.
Begovic on the other hand...yikes
peyton
bond
coleman
teale
peacock
shearer

blissett
after watching both Lazio and lyon I would say boruc has to start
travers looked confident but he not ready yet in my opinion
ramsdale he looked very uncomfortable with the ball today
begovic well to say he was poor would be nice to him enough said.
both butcher and kilkenny looked good I think they will be in and around first team this season at some point but a loan for 6 months would be good
not sure if anyone else noticed but friday night fraser looked constantly pissed off with people around him hopefully it was just a off night
the lazio and lyon games were all I have seen so couldn't quite other games but he was very vocal on the pitch at peopleFraser has been throwing strops all pre season.
So very true, Ibe is a nightmare!Wow, that’s harsh
Take out Ibe and Surman and you may just have a team worth watching!BorucBench: Ramsdale, Mepham, Rico, Stacey, Billing, Danjuma, Solanke
Smith Cook Ake Daniels
Ibe Lerma Surman Fraser
King Wilson
Wayne, I am loving this team*, but what formation are you playing? Where is Morrell? Newson dropped? So many of my favourite players there - Teale and Shearer and Peacock and Blissett.
*Brooks is dropped for future crimes against AFCB.
Only saw the highlights today but Rico played a great ball in the lead up to the second goal and put in some great crosses from what I could see. We know he’s got it in his locker going forward so if he’s improved defensively he should be a guaranteed starter for me.Rico is a worry going forward but defensively he’s much improved. Last season he was basically a training cone, not knowing whether to engage his opponent or stand off.
Today his positional sense was 100% better. He blocked a number of crosses and on the rare times Lyon did get in down his side he did enough to put the attacker off balance. If defending is the main priority in a full back (which it probably isn’t) then he’d be our starter.
