Too early for a match thread but would you change the team for next week? Massive game and probably more pressure on Rangers which should suit us! Personally I'd start with yesterday's team. Think Shaw deserves another go and Gazza should stay in goal. Thoughts?
Same team for me...this thread is turning out to be a hotbed of controversy, isn't it? I'm sure NA will make a couple of changes for different opposition, but I couldn't pick one player out from yesterday who didn't put a shift in. Too many small mistakes and one costly one, but we looked pretty good for a team struggling at the bottom. Richardson is playing on Monday, so may be in contention for Saturday.
Can't justify any changes but would like to see earlier substitutions of Puncheon and Shaw if they are tiring, with Mayuka and Fox replacing them. I think Lambert plays much better with Ramirez in the team otherwise I would consider Rodriguez from the start, who has perhaps been more threatening away from home. We have a strong first team with very good attacking options off the bench, can't understand people thinking we are a bottom 3 side. Hopefully Hughes isn't sacked this week although I think we will win regardless.
As long as our team doesn't believe that! The fans must keep behind Nigel and the team, because we will be very important in a dogfight. This is also true for those fans who doubt NA...to quote Margaret Thatcher...'This is not the time to wobble'. There are other teams in the mix at the bottom...we must be the ones who get unexpected points.
Same team, different result would be fine. I was more frustrated than ever yesterday. They played well - very well at times - and really did deserve better. Even Laudrup confessed as much. But it was a really good game, and that formation seems to work. Keeper? The only one up for debate for me.
Think we have to stick with Gazza. If he's dropped for one poor decision his confidence will be badly affected.
For me this game will cement (in my head) whether we stay up of go down, NEED a positive result from this
The QPR fans seem to be down and very anti Hughes. Will be massive pressure on the their team as a result. If our fans are the same as at West Brom we will have a 12th man. I think we can win this!
Same tam again! A bit of consistency please Amazing to see the difference Corky made to the stability of the team, really missed him!
Same starting team + subs for me - and if Nigel Adkins thinks that Paulo Gazza is the future then he must play surely to give him a chance to get that big mistake out of his system. The old get staight back on a bike after you have come off scenario. Our suppport will be same as at the Hawthorns, our away support is almost always good even when losing - only there will be twice as many of us there. I wish it was tomorrow !
Should be a cracking atmosphere. Player wise if Richardson comes through tomorrow I think this could actually be the first time this season when Nigel will have the full squad to choose from!
Same team I would like him to use Mayuka and Rodriguez as subs if we aren't ahead. We deserved to beat Swansea. I'm confident we can get at least a draw at QPR
