Looks like Luongo will NOT be playing Friday,

He did not play in the Australian midweek fixture as he picked up a knock in training.
Let's hope it is not serious! :(

Col, It is a good an balance formation. However, I do have reservations as to whether Bidwell is really a wingback as I see him more of a traditional fullback. Plus, I will question if that team really does have the width to get many crosses in the two forwards.

This Friday, I don't think that Luongo will be fit so this position will need to be replaced. Also, I suspect that Ollie will start with one lone striker and pack the midfield and try to break with pace.

Anyway, we shall soon know what Ollie will chose and I am interested to see if he will surprise both Derby and us, and if it will be effective. I would love us to have a real go for the three points. COTR's!!!!

I agree about Bidwell, but who else do we have that's fit?
This formation also allows us to have 2 forwards that will stop Derby swamping us and keep us up the pitch.
It also allows us to have 5 in midfield in possession.
You may well be right about Luongo.
 
i would definately play washington and smith up front to start for every game for this season then if they are not doing it take them off and bring on silla and someone else
my reasons for this are next season qpr are going to win the league by 17 points and washington will score thirty goals

Col, I really, really, really hope that you are correct! :)
 
Jack Robinson played 90 minutes for the U23's against Hull last week.

Very good news. Furlong and Robinson do fit the role of wingbacks and would give us more width (plus great "crosses" from throw-ins!).

I wonder if tomorrow we may see the return of Jack Robinson?
 
One of the most worrying things that's ever happened to me in my entire life is that you've confused me with TED!!!!!!!!!!<yikes>

Col, I admit that I was rather suprised by the emotion and passion in the reply.

I had not drunk any vodka and was probably drinking a tea at the time.

I can only conclude that I must go and get my eyes tested.

I hope that you forgive me for the error and confusion! :)

I think he'll stick with Bidwell Ski, he's been solid in our last few games.
