I just feel we need to be more competitive in midfield this year and stop them imposing their style of play on us the way they did last year, when they absolutely ran rings round us. Hopefully Julien will have learned from that experience and will set the team up better to counteract their style of play.

Yes, and this will be hard with Madsen well off the pace so far and Kamara to be rested apparently.
But Stephan pretty clear he doesn’t care about possession, he just wants attacking moments.
At times the Cardiff playmaker was in yards and yards of space, giving him an unchallenged pass out to the wings.
It hasn’t cost us so far, indeed we have apparently had more shots than anyone else in the division. But against Boro you suspect they could break us down.
Might be a case of conceding a couple but hoping we can convert a higher percentage of chances (so far we have been spurning a lot of chances).

they were a good side last season and doing ok this time, a draw may not be a disaster but this is most likely our biggest measuring stick of where we really are . 1-1 , but i will take any win by any means

If we create the chances we did v Cardiff I think we can win this. Should be a good game Boro are big on possession stats so that should help us …fingers x I will go 3-2 Rangers ..

Last season I thought Boro were the best team we played. (Cov away was in part down to us being useless) . I would be happy with a draw. I fear 1-2 loss .

Spaceman-P, I’m hoping you’re wrong about this one! Think the sleepless nights are dampening your optimism 😂
I think we’re playing better than them at the moment and we should be able to break quickly on the counter. Hopefully we can convert a couple the opportunities we get! 2-1 to us, Burrell and Jimmy!

QPR have lost 5 in a row against Middlesbrough including the last 3 at home.
It will be a very difficult game tomorrow but hopefully Stephan will select a more competitive midfield. I would select Edwards Madsen and Kamara for a 3 man midfield in a 4-3-3 formation.

I was thinking we need to bolster the midfield for this one
Charles Right back - Lamptey Central defence - Dunne and JCS Left back - Cirkin Right midfield - Poku Central midfield - Kamara and Edwards Left midfield - Smyth Number 10 - Chair Forward - Burrell
Other options include Adamson and Mbengue (although risky defensively) Varane, Saito and Vale Kone and Lloyd
Tough to work out with the games coming thick and fast at the moment.

What line up do you think we will go with?

I think you’re right with the first one except Mbengue will start not Lamptey to keep him from overplaying. He might come on in the second half though.
Another point is that Smtyh snd Poku are better defensively than Vale and Saito which is why they may have been saved for this match to provide a bit more cover against Middlesbrough.

Yes this, would be very surprised if Smyth and Poku aren't in the starting line up today.

Yeah, I would agree with that too.
The interesting selection could be Lloyd again. He and Burrell pressed really well together and that’s a fairly positive way of defending from the front, whilst also creating chances.
Let’s see how positive Jukes is this weekend. I don’t think we’ll break the possession hoodoo but I reckon we’ll score more than them if we set up for fast breaks and press. If we slow things down, I see us getting caught out unfortunately - tricky balance but we have 95% of the squad available.
Those possessed by devils, try and keep them under control a bit, can't you ?
