Play Off Final - team 08:38 - May 16 with 507 viewsGloucs_R

Same as we started Monday with?

Personally I would start with Yun or Traore at LB as we have no pace but that means dropping Hill or Dunne. Hill - leader, Dunne - experienced veteran and had a good game on Monday.

Tough call.

I'd leave Dunne in with Ned in the middle as he has plenty of big game experience. Would like to see Yun in at LB but looks like he may not be available due to this ridiculous international rule.

Even then I'd pick Traore at LB as I don't think Hill (much as I love him) can cut it at full back, especially on a big pitch like Wembley.

Green

Simpson Dunne/Hill Onouha BAE/Yun

Barton O'Neill

Hoilett Kranjcar/Morrison Traore

Austin

All depends on fitness and availability of players.

Would like to see pace in there with Traore, if not play Bennyoon.

Between Dunne or Hill to partner Onouha.

If Kranjcar fit i would start with him but would be fine with Morrison in there.

One thing i would hope we would do is play Hoilett out right and Traore out left.

Yun might not be released by South Korea. Due at World Cup training camp.

How would you not give Clint Hill his day in the sun at Wembley? Nobody in our entire squad deserves it more than him. I would be proud to have him lead QPR out, and so he should.

I agree but I'd have him at CB with Ned and Yun at LB.

Dunne did great in the 2nd half but would still worry me on a big pitch with fast young attacking players. The same for Hill at LB, if he plays there, I'm concerned he'll get ripped to pieces.

Agreed.

Never happen though.

I would take a wild guess at:

-----------------Green

Simpson--Dunne--Onouha--BAE

---------O'Neil-----Barton------

Hoilett------Morrison-------Traore (if fit)

---------------Austin----------------

Green
Simpson Ned Hill Yun
Barton Henry
Hoilett Ravel Traore
Austin

Dunne unlucky, but we gain more by having Yun in the team than playing three centre-backs in a back four, Ned's undroppable, Hill's the skipper and best organiser, so Dunne misses out. This is Wembley. No regrets.

Henry a better ball winner and ball retainer than O' Neill.

Traore on the left, Hoilett on the right. Now's not the time for narrowing the pitch. Widen it and put people on their best crossing feet. we ned the option of reaching Austin when he's facing the goal as well as when he has his back to it.

The pitch is too big for an unfit Niko at the outset. Would prefer to see him come on when the pace has dropped.

Austin lucky to get in ahead of Magoo, but I think he's due a goal.

Doesn't look like Yun available and BAE won't be back.

AT only in light training so think it will be back four that started on Monday.

What exactly happened to O'neil. In his first game he looked like a world beater. Little flicks, great runs, hardly gave the ball away. I thought what a player. Since then I've not seen it.

BAE shown in training at Harlington on Vine so a possibility.

Assou-Ekotto is still training with the club. If he wasn't even in contention to play, he'd be in Miami right now. IMO of course.

I think that just like the entire season, for this game Harry will HAVE to pick from those who are "fit and available" for the starting 11 and it may not be everyone's first choice defense.

I would have stuck to my old saying of the "old dog for the hard road" for this one but if Derby are a young and fast team who can hit on the break then there might be a need to sacrifice some of the older guard in favour of pace at the back.

BAE is a conundrum. For the first part of the season, I thought he was the best thing since sliced bread. Yes he appeared relaxed but his reading of the flight of the ball, his first touch and his ability to take the ball away made it appear that he was just not challenged at this level and became bored. If he was genuinely motivated to play in a Wembley Final and contribute to QPR winning promotion and wanted to be there, then fair enough, as long as he is 100% professional, does not fanny about on the ball and cause a goal through careless play. If he is turning into another Boswanka then I do not want him anywhere near the team next Saturday.

I really do hope that Yun is given permission to play at the Final. Even if it a case that Harry started with Simpson Ned Dunne and Hill, if Hill was being tortured down our left flank, then Hill would be the first to stick his hand up, accept getting subbed and jog straight off and let the younger and faster legs have a go. If we are chasing the game at any point it would also allow Yun and who ever is playing in front of him to work with Barton and the other Midfield to try and use the width to get up and beyond the Derby defense. Whilst Simpson isn't that great going forward, he can and does get down the line and will swing in a cross.

So I think the LB berth is probably our biggest Achilles Heel followed by Dunne being exposed by fast forwards. Ned is going to be busy that is for sure.

I agree that Niko should be used sparingly to give their defense something to think about if we need a goal threat and Charlie is not seeing a great deal of the ball. However, it remains to be seen if Niko will even be fit judging by the strapping he was wearing during extra time - He could have spent the last 48hrs on a life support system for all we know after playing for that length of time.

The idea of starting with the same team that started on Monday has me a bit flabbergasted. have to say. That starting XI was an absolute disaster and we were hugely lucky the players were able to turn it around before the game was out of sight.

How anyone can purport to be able to predict the team is a mystery too. Do you have access to the tombola? Even if you do, how does that help?

Harry will most likely pick the oldest players available, then have to change it all at half time when we're 1-0 down.

He should drop Dunne, despite his extra time heroics, but there's not a chance in hell he'll do that.

Bare bones.

We could be in a position with BAE where we are starting with a player that we don't want to pick and that doesnt want to play.

Hope fully we get the clearance to pick YSY, although I don't think we will know until matchday. My feeling is that even if we could, HR will start witht he same back 4 as against Wigan and bring on YSY depending on how the game is going.

I shall be in Budapest at my sister-in-laws wedding, racking up hundreds of quid in roaming charges refreshing the BBC live text.

QPR have a meeting with south korea today and are confident it won't be an issue.
