Our terrible run at Loftus Road continues

Agree with all the above. Did anyone listen to square ball match review podcast at the weekend? Moscow summed it up perfectly. The young lads have zero experience in this situation and have zero experience in playing 46 game season at this level and it shows. The momentum ground to a halt with the international break and we couldn’t get going again.

Interesting their thoughts on the current squad and how it’s almost an u21 squad by age, and it’s also quite unbalanced as it’s got no goal scoring ability in midfield or at 10, and if we stay in Champ next year we could have a better balanced squad via the funds raised from the sale of Summerville for example.

I'd agree. thing with Moscow he's so long winded he probably took an hour to say it!!!
Read his book once. so dull

As Tad has said a superb season given the turmoil at the start.

Perhaps teams have worked out how to play against a side that provides no threat from midfield or corners. Farke needs to up the team's options - Rutter needs to slow down and provide more quality.

The idea that Sommerville is worth £40m is delusional - a one trick pony if ever there was one. Not somebody I would want in my team when your back is against the wall. It is no surprise his contributions have tailed off since the team's form has.

Gnonto is an odd one - seems very immature and gets into silly squabbles rather than let his talent do his talking. Can be a great asset when his head is in the right place. If he is fit I would swap him out for James and play Connor at right back.

Never thought I would say this but Bamford is a key player in this team and hopefully he is fit for Sunday

What was worrying was the space Southampton had through the midfield - both players look very tired - I would play Gray in midfield to take some of the burden off the other two.

Tad is correct the club is in a good place promotion or no promotion.

I'd go.solid sunday

Will James be fit for Sunday?
Both him and Rutter coming on back end of the second half would work.
From the team you have posted I might be tempted to switch Gray to LB and have Roberts in at RB.
