Yes, we play forward quickly through our midfield very well with Madsen and yesterday Varane too playing good quick forward passes. This and Chair having his best game for a long time, Dembele causing them all sorts of problems ( just wish he could pick out a pass instead of shooting wildly from difficult positions), Dunne's goal and Burrell being in the right places got us the win. Hope Kone can find his early form again, he partly cost us their first goal.. We have problems with the Keeper position, all 3 of them, with Walsh fit again, are dodgy, and generally defensively with the back four. A rusty JCS was partly at fault for both goals yesterday, though Hamer should have done better for their first.
I only saw the last 35 minutes yesterday, but I was impressed by Kolli's commitment. There was a rumour circulating that he had fallen out with the club and had removed all QPR-related messages from his social media! Looked like he was up for it yesterday.
It's a worry that Kone's form has dipped so badly when we apparently have a coach with a rep for bringing on young players. If ever a player needed bringing on Kone is it. In the meantime, I don't see how it's any more risky trying Kolli from the start.
Kone has 't scored for a few games but that doesn't mean he's not having an impact. He's still involved, still busy and causing enough problems for defenders to stick with him. A far cry from previous strikers. All three goals yesterday came from players with space in their box, perhaps partly because defenders are sticking with him.
