Surely it's 433. Baptiste RB. Pavel and Bright either sidecar of Mackie.
If it's 352, you must be suggesting Bright, who is a winger and played on the wing on Sat, is playing as part of a front 2?
I can see both those TBH.
I am worried. Hopefully this'll be one of those QPR Twitter style things where you react to the team news and then look a tit when it goes brilliantly but we are getting back to the stage we were in in April where you can't predict the team other than the goalkeeper.
And yes yes if somebody wants to be a pedantic arshole you can tell me that Wheeler is injured and Luongo is poorly and Lua Lua turned up late and Sylla's injured etc etc etc etc but the fact is we're once again seeing players go from not even being on the bench one match to starting the next then disappearing again, we're seeing somebody start and play well but get dropped, Washington gets brought straight back in from the start after injury then goes out, Yeni randomly starting a league game for the first time since April in an unfamiliar position, bloody Caulker surfaces from nowhere, we're rotating through shapes and systems again.
I really hope it goes well and doesn't unravel on him again but it does feel to me like the tombola machine is starting to crank up again.

I guess you're not there in person tonight then Clive??
I have a couple days off but I hope it's worth for me staying up to crazy o'clock here to grab the game!

Agree. I think Ollie is trying to become too clever. I think we've been playing more a back 4, in a 433, than 352 recently. But I'm getting to the point where I wonder if he's deliberately trying to play some "clever" lopsided half way house between a 433 and 352, where we're more attacking on the right flank than the left. It's all rather odd.
I think he's been forced into the changes, the midfield 3 is the same as has been all season. Washington and Furlong off form, Sylla and Smith carrying injuries plus Robinson unlikely to play 3 games in a week and another game of friday.
I'm genuinely not sure what other options he has with the players available.
wow...interesting team line up. one thing I guessed we'd never see Caulker have to start a game again but what do I know. we'll have to be at our best tonight thats for sure. come on you rrrrssss!

I see your argument re personnel but haven't we played 3-5-2 pretty much all this season?
