Be good to get Dykes back. I know I’m in a minority on that one. |  | | |

Begovic needs that out ball, for sure.
The turn-around in results and performances since oxford and watford is huge. Why enlightenment only came to GA after the latter game I don't quite know, but right now he's getting a lot right. | | | |

Great piece, very insightful 👏 |  |

I do worry a bit when Clive doesn't predict a defeat. | | | |

Also thought Dobbo was great on Open All Rs, but also had a few issues with some of the things he said as well. The transfer policy for one, criticising what he called 'sticking plaster' signings by other managers - well, I'm not sure what Cook, Colback and Begovic are if they're not short term sticking plasters. Our entire transfer targets this summer were people Gaz knew already or we all knew from them playing in the Prem and coming to the end of their careers. Not saying they're bad signings, they've made a huge difference, but things don't marry up there. Ditto the youngsters. All fine and dandy now Sincs and Kolli and one or two others are there, but under Warbs, those players were about 16. The ones he didn't want to play are still nowhere. Some great anecdotes in there though and really glad the atmosphere at the club has really improved. I'm nowhere near as happy as a lot of fans are though. I still think it will be miraculous if we stay up. |  |

Agree on the last point, a v long winter ahead for this squad. |  | | |

I think we have every chance of getting something from the game providing we play in a similar vein as we have in the last 3/4 matches....we must get more of the ball though and take our opportunities when they arise.
Dykes will be selected imho.....Cook is 'old school' and will start if he isn't too unfit. | | | |

I think the "sticking plaster" was referring to loans. | | | |

I agree with you Clive that we are better set up for away games than at home.
Sunderland though, won't alter their approach & will come at us & we should be able to counter attack. Hopefuuly that will be enough!
Swansea, on the other hand, will sit deep & it will be interesting as to how we respond. | | | |

That makes sense. Less sticking plaster than Balogan (is he injured), Roberts (ditto) and Richards (FFS).
Interesting what he said about Richards not getting his head around the fact that he needs to do more than be a fancy academy graduate. You can't just be a good player, you actually have to contribute. By that I guess he means press, track back, tackle etc. |  | | |

Good points, I 95% agree with you, but don't forget Larkeche. Let's hope he isn't to Ainsworth what Col Donaldson was to Redkrapp. | |

I saw Donaldson play once for the then U21s and he really didn't look like a footballer at all. His positioning, reading the game etc were just terrible. If anyone other than Redknapp were involved I would have been astonished that we'd paid a penny for him.
Larkeche has shown enough in the games I've seen him play to show some promise. | | | |

He's currently at Falkirk, in the Scottish third tier. | |

Dykes played a blinder for Scotland vs Norway. He needs better service from midfield. Much underrated player. | | | |

What exactly does he do at/for QPR that deserves a higher rating? Mediocre scoring record, poor touch in the box, rarely makes (and takes) a chance for himself, and, for a big man, for me often fails to rough up his centre back enough. Even Hugill did better on all those fronts. He's also 28 next month and for me is unlikely to get much better.
I would have him among the subs today, but that's all - he needs to win his place back. Especially if GA could somehow get Willock back to some semblance of his best, I'd use him off the bench after that too. |  |
