Last 4 starts have seen 4 clean sheets. I’m starting to think he could be a long term option at LB. |  | | |  |

I think he's almost universally respected as a top pro and an all round good bloke. Doesn't make it wrong to point out that RND is a more natural full back and offers more going forward or that Sam's distribution can be a bit dodgy.
It would be interesting to see how he got on if given 5 games alongside Madsen. There's not much if anything that Varane does that field can't do. They're pretty similar. I guess they see more potential resale value in Varane. |
Well that's the bottom line, Varane's resale value is (theoretically) a lot higher than Field's.
Which isn't to say Field can't still contribute to the team but it seems senior management have decided otherwise. |  |

Solid pro. Defensively very useful at LB, make no mistake, he was there as Blackburn likes to lump it upfield and dominate in the air. They failed, as our back line was full of towing defenders and MB, who is a jack-in-the-box.
Going forward he did play it back too often to the extent when he did want a 1-2 return from say Chair he was passed up on it a few times as he had set the seen of "I am not gonna attack". Not asking for much jus ta little more on playing balls forward and not always back all the time.
If he can do that, then he could be even better. But solid at the back, great sub in for RND. |  |

Credit to the manager there. Recognised the threat, neutralised it. |  | | |

Divides opinion for sure and I can see why .
Defensively solid along with being intelligent with it. Read that scenario occurring last night which enabled him to make an incredible goal line - goal saving header .
Will always give his all and games like last night are his sort of game . Dig in , spoil and frustrate opponents . Worth his weight in gold at times like that .
But let’s have it right , as some people want to criticise one player , but get salty when ‘their’ player gets some clog, he has gone backwards as a ‘ball playing footballer’.
How many times last night did he give the ball away or kick straight into touch ? I thought he was playing for Saracens at one point .
And that’s why he is filling in out of position.
It might not be “his game”, but unfortunately it has to be to get his place back . Is Varane better ….not much , but a little I would say .
As much as some don’t want to read the negatives about Sam Field , you can’t deny what we can all see.
Don’t get me wrong , I’m a big fan but he’s not doing enough with the ball unfortunately and hasn’t for a while .
It’s that simple . [Post edited 27 Nov 18:02]

He does what he does and he does it well. Yes, he has limitations, but hey, lets face reality, we are QPR. As a club, we are consistently limited.
Money talks as they say.
Sam Field has done well at centre back previously and has now done well at left back.
Four games, four clean sheets. Yes, obviously not all down to him, but shows there have been no fatal errors in any of those games.
Am not sure what people want. He is not going to deputise at left back and suddenly become Roberto Carlos, our young brazilian showed the dangers of a left back wanting to attack and we lost miserably. A left backs primary role is to defend. He did that.
He has in the past at centre mid chipped in with several goals but yes in that position, again he is more efficient in a defensive role. Thats his game.
He has been at the club a long time, one of our longest serving current players. The reason is he is very solid and as shown can adapt to cover defensive positions too.
He is not Steven Gerrard. He is not Declan Rice.
i think several posters have issues with him, which is hard to fathom.
Along with Dunne and Smyth, who also have limitations, but all three perform for the team and consistently so and get the most out of their skill sets for us.
For me some fans focus way too much on the negative. A decent solid professional. And a good example for the younger players.
There is a lot to like about Sam.
In years to come, he will be inducted into forever R's and deservedly so.
He'll do for me... [Post edited 28 Nov 8:24]

think the advantage with playing field over varanne esp in the dfesnive role varanne is supposed to excel at is field dosnt give up if a player gets past him watch the half arsed effort from varanne for the first hull game last week , if field ws in the simialr postion he would be chasing the guy back , varanne litterlay just said nah dont fancy it ,
both offer little with the ball going forward , varanne likes the ball back to the keeper eway to much these days, rarely pays it forward also varanne is clueless in the last thrid of the pitch if he finds him self there ,
for me id start field in the role in front of the back four on sat and let varanne sit this one out but thats just me |  |

I wonder who has more assist and goals between Field and Varanne?
'Feels' like Field chipped in a few more to me. | |

You could also add madson into that list , hes not chipped in that many as well.
as field tends to be that last line of defence most of the time he also tedns to get into the oppostion box way more than varanne does , not bad for a so called limited player. | |

I think Madsen has that position nailed down now, possibly becasue he can't play anywhere else as effectively. I don't see that as a negative for Field as he can cover where others can't. Madsen possibly helps to create a bit more than Field so I'm going to give him a pass on this season.
Madsen would have 1 more goal to his account if he didn't hand that Penalty off to Celar last season. Grumble grumble, I'm not bitter. | |

Yep . Fair point .
But I don’t necessarily ‘think I’m right’.
It’s just plain to anyone watching him that he has really declined with the ball at his feet .
It might be a confidence thing , in which case you’d hope that the coaches and management (Kevin Betsy perhaps ) are working with him hard to restore confidence and get him passing a football from A to B ( Varane too, I hope , as I know you have a bee in your bonnet with him and he isn’t much better in my view) .
But there isn’t much sign that that’s happening .
That turn of phrase was just to emphasise that with the ball Sam Field , at this moment , is dreadful. It’s not what I want to say , and I know others simply don’t want to hear it , but you have to say what’s in front of your eyes. Or your just kidding yourself .
He has many other strings to his bow where he does very well and is a genuine asset , but ultimately if you can’t do simple things like, keep the ball with minimum opposition pressure, it doesn’t matter how many fans get upset that other fans are criticising him, he ain’t gong to play in his favoured position.
Especially with the Nourry broom sweeping all Nourry BC staff away . | | | |

The ultimate, no frills, ronseal footballer.
But then, so is RND. It's good to have two reliable players able to play left back. It's been a shaky position for a while. | | | |

All criticism of Sammy in THIS thread are a response to OP suggesting Field is a longterm solution to our LB problem.
He clearly isn't and it's reasonable to pick holes in his performance to back up that view.
If the thread was themed "Field's doing okay-ish filling in at LB" I guess most would agree and point out some of his good work (as opposed to highlighting weaker areas).
My big worry is we shunted Jimmy out to RB 18 months ago despite him obviously being a CB and then inexplicably left him there permanently. I really don't want to see a similar thing happening to Field on the other side of the defence. The club urgently needs some proper experienced fullbacks in the squad - not players "filling in".
On that note... it's early days but I feel Mbengue is a much better RB than CB. His speed and athleticism seem more useful out there. Him out there and Jimmy in the middle looks much more solid I think. | | | |

Agreed, though we've lost his recovery pace at centre-back so we have to sit deep again. |  |

Read your earlier post again. Pretty much slags Field off throughout and not related to the OP’s comment at all. | | | |
