Indeed, but to put it back into a Gallic context, will it turn out to simply be a case of "plus ca change..."?🤔 |  | |  |
| Turn and face the strange – Preview on 12:37 - Nov 5 with 2665 views | Burnleyhoop | Qpr_Hibs, genuine question; Why would you play Vale as a 10 behind Burrell in preference to Chair? JS did allude to Chair being given that role and position( although he has yet to start there) and Vale has barely managed a pass to one of his own team mates in his last 3 appearances. I do agree Kone is playing too deep and is having no real effect in that position. His first touch isn’t great, he doesn’t win many headers and if he gets a bit of open space, he hasn’t got the pace to get himself forward and into a shooting position, before being caught by a defender and having to look for support. Personally, I would drop Kone for Chair and play Saito and Smyth out wide, with just Burrell up top. |  | |  |

| Turn and face the strange – Preview on 12:56 - Nov 5 with 2586 views | chriscross | Thanks for the match preview Clive , looking for a big response tonight, hopefully we will get some pace back into the team tonight, speed up top and at the back don’t half help to make a difference |  | |  |
| Turn and face the strange – Preview on 13:09 - Nov 5 with 2516 views | BrianMcCarthy | Thanks for that, Clive. Agree - this is a big game for us. We have to make decisions about ourselves, and it will be hard to make decisions about our oppo. |  |

| Turn and face the strange – Preview on 16:19 - Nov 5 with 2001 views | thehat | Nice one Clive - I would be happy with a point. We seem to have been sussed out by opposition managers and teams so maybe throw a curveball in like a 3,5,2 tonight. |  | |  |
| Turn and face the strange – Preview on 16:46 - Nov 5 with 1909 views | 1BobbyHazell | Thanks Clive. Looking forward to tonight. Fandab Edozie, nice. "Of the six managers to have picked a team under Sport Republic’s ownership of Southampton, only Russell Martin has been able to win more than two games." WTF, that is mental. |  | |  |
| Turn and face the strange – Preview on 16:58 - Nov 5 with 1875 views | joe90 | Thanks as always. One thing to note re: squad rotation. JS had players like Camavinga, Raphina and Doku at Rennes! Very different kettle of fish at QPR. |  | |  |

From a defensive point of view, I can't say that I've seen anything that suggests Bould is adding anyting |  |
