Anyone remember us having two worse full backs? 10:52 - Dec 29 with 3693 views | sevenhoop | Boswell is a huge disappointment (I still have no clue how a professional footballer can be that lazy that they can't practice hard enough to at least be able to kick and tackle with the 'wrong' foot) and, as for Perch..: They offer nothing offensively either, yet another gaping hole in our offensive options | ![](/images/avatars/2145.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

| 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

Anyone remember us having two worse full backs? on 11:37 - Dec 29 with 2781 views | DesertBoot | Is this a classic case of making good players bad. Having seen Bidwell play and heard so many good things about him from Brentford fans, it's hugely disappointing how average (at best) he is in a QPR shirt | ![](/images/avatars/2009.gif) |

Anyone remember us having two worse full backs? on 11:38 - Dec 29 with 2775 views | bosh67 | At Brentford he played mainly as a defensive midfielder. When we went there and they beat us he almost single handedly destroyed us. He totally dominated midfield. So, I was very surprised when he came here and went to left back. He can play there but from his Brentford days I thought we were buying the next Shaun Derry. He is only 23 by the way. | ![](/images/avatars/1510.gif) |

Well I've never had any problem pronouncing Bridgewell or Tabarat. I struggled with Clunt Hull and Shane Darry a bit but soon mastered them. The one I just can never get right is Yeni Ngbakoto. | ![](/images/avatars/1464.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Anyone remember us having two worse full backs? on 11:57 - Dec 29 with 2738 views | DannytheR | Boswell has been a huge disappointment, I don't think he's done a thing for us this season. Bidwell, on the other hand, has definitely lost form under Holloway and had an injury that knowing us we probably brought him back too quickly from. Having once seen Paul Bruce come on for Christer Warren, I can confidently say yes, I have seen two worse Rangers full backs. | ![](/images/avatars/20154.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Anyone remember us having two worse full backs? on 13:11 - Dec 29 with 2565 views | plasmahoop | I think they are both OK. I know I've said it before, but it is the lack of cover. Every time Brighton went forward they were running at just our back four. They were doubling up on bidwell, and ngamoto wasn't tracking back and neither was anyone else. I don't think anybody would look that great in that situation, its a nigh on impossible task | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Precisely. Neither is doing great but they had little help in front of them and nothing was done to change it. Brighton had two on each side and had a field day. Ngbakoto did a nice job waving his hand about and passing it all onto Bidwell. But we've done a job on Henry, he's out of sight now, so let's all concentrate on Perch instead. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I don't think it's a case of turning on Perch as just another boo boy. He's 31 with a decade of experience at this level and consistently plays abysmally. We've shipped out a better right-back and have another better one on the bench. He must have had 50 games for us and you can count the 7/10+ performances on one hand. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I think they tried to sign a right back but didn't get the one they wanted so decided to stick with Perch for now rather than get someone they were not sure about. Bidwell has done ok but both full backs are left horribly exposed by the wide players who just don't track back leaving them outnumbered every game so both Bidwell and Perch end up coming inside a bit more to block off the space | ![](/images/avatars/1922.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Anyone remember us having two worse full backs? on 14:34 - Dec 29 with 2396 views | qprewan | I think that they are definitely up there among the worst; I have absolutely no time for Bidwell he is absolutely rubbish going forward...the only thing is he did deliver better corners than Cherry but then that's not saying mucc | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Exactly. I went to the game with a Brighton fan who spent most of the journey to the game raving about their wingers, Knockaert & March. Within a few minutes of the game starting you could see that our full backs were not going to get any protection as a result of this odd shape / system without wingers that JFH & now Holloway seem intent on adopting even though it leaves us completely exposed. Surely it was a bit obvious that we needed to have some kind of plan for Knockaert & March?! | ![](/images/avatars/8501.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
