Is the decision to let him go looking dafter by the minute or have I got my rose-tinted specs on? |  | | |  |

Faurlin could pick a pass and would have others around him to do the running.When we got tonked with him in the side we didn't have many mobile players playing with him. On another thread I referred to a Faurlin type player but apparently we don't miss him according to several on this board so it's onwards and downwards with this guy in charge. I don't expect us to win every game but I do like to see good football. |  | | |

Don't get me wrong, I want JFH to succeed but he needs to use all his skills to build up their confidence and get the crowd back onside as he had during the Leeds game. | | | |

Pirlo are you sure ? |
Yep, best passer of the forward ball we had for ages.
Not all of them came off but he always made the team tick if you know what I mean.
He's another player who splits opinions but always got my backing because he had that little bit more about him.
Anyway, far better than all this back and sideways shite I've seen lately. |  | | |

All about opinions, that's what makes us fans and not football managers.
Out of interest who would you say has been better than Ale in this position over the last few years.
It's not a dig just interested as I'm struggling to think of anyone over the last 10 years? | | | |

Your changing the goal posts you said best passer of a forward ball. I thought that Adel on his day was brilliant. As you say it's all about opinions. | | | |

The rampaging Morocan, quality player on his day.
Shame he thinks he is better than what he is, or maybe it was the idiot advisers around him?
Complete wasted talent like most maverick's unfortunately. | | | |

In his position Ale was the pass master. Probably the best CM passer since Ray Wilkins
Adel could pass but invariably he was all about the showboat, and Christ he was good at it! One ball Adel did play that will stick forever in the memory was that one with the outside of the foot to Routledge to score against Coventry
Struggling to think of many others with a cultured passing foot in the middle of the park last 10 years....Langley maybe? |  |

We are crying out for a creative midfielder we don't have anyone who can pass the ball or someone who can carry the team forward , we are also missing a midfielder who can actually score a goal
The midfield of luango , cousins, the polish lad and Henry are willing runners but lack the back of scoring and setting up goals is non existent im not being funny but our midfield won't score 5 goals all season
Hamill , Lansbury , Macdonald are 3 players off the top of my head we could and should of signed
As for Ali I actually think he could of played as sweeper for us given the chance and the players around him, he could read the game, pass the ball , he could tackle and wasn't bad with his head either , look at Hoddle and ossie Ardiles both brilliant midfielders but once there legs went they played as sweepers and were brilliant could you imagine if we had two pacy fullbacks like tavernier and the lad Henry who went to Brentford we could of had a real attacking team with Ali pulling the strings |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Parker my old mucka.... you've fallen off that dark horse of yours mate!!!!
I get the "no passengers, we're not a charity" line and the "fit players for high press and intensity" line but the fact of the matter is Clint and Ale were the last two bastions of the club. At the time I bought the rhetoric and thought "it's time for new hero's and legends" but unless your legends do the slowest shuttle runs in and around your own half they are in short supply.
I reckon anyone on this board could've put together a more exciting squad and got them playing better than ODH has. I just dont see we've got the right balance or personnel now for anyone coming in.
This is down to ODH now. He's got to galvanize them, get them playing a bit of footy of a progressive nature and get belief and confidence on and off the pitch. However he's got that stubborn trait Managers seem to have so I dont expect him to do it or attempt it over the next three games
Looking forward to Khazi Henry on Saturday; gives me 90 minutes to rest up on the booze if nothing else. | |

What we lack without Ale is the fast tempo of our passing. He always knew before he received the ball where he was going to play it next and often did so with one touch. Unfortunately Henry & Cousins and many of our players receive the ball then take a touch then another before deciding what to do next. I'm not sure Ale would have made a difference on Tuesday night but I'm convinced he would have made a difference against Preston & Blackburn where we looked slow & ponderous.
Overall on the evidence so far this season our CM looks poorer without him. |  | | |

FWIW Faurlin has been an unused sub in all 4 of Getafes games this season in which they've D3 and L1 which finds them 2nd bottom of La Liga B. |  |

I'm not bothered what ODH stands for, but I am bothered what a high pressing game is????? I've heard Hasslebaink wax lyrical about it.. Never seen it it, no idea what it is.! |  | | |

I think we'll have to keep on looking/guessing as it's ODH not ODB. | |

Assuming that is correct it seems to be an abbreviation that can be used interchangeably with Henry. Stifling the opposition slowly and never quite making the required number of forward pasess suggests one dimension. I could have it wrong but I'm fairly confident. | | | |

This for me is the thing.
Tuesday may have happened anyway, but the 2 previous home games were crying out for Faurlin's quick movement of the ball. Everytime Henry gets it or it goes back to Ned the play become ponderous, with them needing 3 touches to even think about what they are going to do and then it is usually pretty ineffective.
Bored of being bored at Loftus Road. |  | | |

Yeah I think the dark horses thing will bite me on the old deaf & dumb LBlock
I knew we would be struggling for goals and I said the football would be dull but one thing I didn't think would happen is us being so poor at the back
if Lynch is anywhere near fit he needs to start ASAP , drop Caulker who for me is mentally weak , it was also a stupid decision not to sign a proper right back and I hope we never see Perch in the midfield again or for that matter at fullback again | |
