Smithies, Luongo and a broken central midfield - knee jerks

Antti Heinola witnessed QPR’s attempt at the world record for most consecutive home games conceding exactly two goals continue apace against Blackburn on Tuesday.
Tozser/Henry
Copy and paste from Saturday if you like. I see West London Sport has, incredibly, given them both half decent write ups and awarded them 7/10. Bizarre state of affairs.
I'll go in to formation a bit in a moment, but for now, the issue with these two is that they are simply not mobile enough, or quick enough, to cover those positions effectively. Worse, their passing last night was dreadful. Karl Henry's passing is never better than average, and usually it's predominantly going backwards, but while Daniel Tozser was at least looking for forward passes, time and again he found the shins or boot of a Blackburn player. Henry did well to get forward for the chance that should've brought a penalty, but that closing of the gap between defensive midfielders and attackers was all too rare in the first half. Flabbergasted that neither was replaced by either Faurlin or Doughty. Sadly, I suspect they'll both start again on Saturday, likely with similar results.
