Queens Park Rangers v Bristol City Carabao Cup Match Day - R1

[Ohbasso]

Yeah I’m guessing it’ll be 4231, the midfield 5 must be the youngest I can remember us playing for a very long time.

A debut for Massengo!

Will be interesting to see how he fares- thought Walsh might get a game too and he has.

Looks a bit like a 4-2-3-1? Probably a pretty high energy approach!

Was thinking 4231 433 ?

4-4-2

Semenyo hat-trick before half time 

Surely semenyo on the wing? 

[RobArnold10]

Looks 4231 to me

Walsh and Massengo holding.

Unless it’s 433/451? 

Walsh Szmodics Massengo as your middle three?

Yeah could well be- if we play Semenyo as a pure striker pairing Diedhiou though it could easily be 4-4-2 as well.

Szmodics, Semenyo and Eliasson all in the starting line up. Woof.

A lovely dollop of Project Bold right there!

QPR side

Hope not, up front and central with Fammy for me.

[Septic Peg]

Hope Massengo aka Sideshow Bob tears up.

[And Its Smith]

[ExiledAjax]

Notice Massengo's shirt number. He may not be our saviour but he's clearly the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

QPR side 

That’s pretty strong to be fair, think QPR have recruited some decent players this window

[SuperRed]

Was thinking Matt Smith who starts for QPR tonight would have a field day against Moore and Wright. Turns out it’s not the Matt Smith. 

[Red Army 75]

Like the side . Exciting to see our new midfielder. On a side note never liked two centre backs playing both right footed . Just a pet hate of mine 

[Mr Popodopolous]

QPR fielding at least based on that a 4-2-3-1 OR if Dominic Ball who is a CB then maybe a back 3/back 5, maybe even 3-5-1-1.

Probably a 4-2-3-1 up against us though.

Nah, but he'll surely be the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. Who knows what that question is, though... Let's hope it's a good thing!

Think it’s eight changes from each sides starting line up on Saturday, so we have taken similar approaches to it.

18,19,21 and two 23 year olds, hopefully it’s their energy that shines through rather than their inexperience

[Bristol_South_End]

This is my assumption.

I think that’s unlikely but let’s see

[freezer]

It could be a 3-2-3-1-1 reverting to a 5-4-1 when the shite hits the fan, or Lee may surprise us all and go for a 4-4-2.

Either way, hope we win. 

COYR

[Dan Robin]

Lightweight midfield? Anyway...COYR!

[Banjo Island]

Look like a youg exciting line-up looking forward to this 3-1 city coyr

[spudski]

Think Walsh might get found out tonight. Hope not...hope he proves me wrong. However whenever I've seen him he is just not quick enough in decision making and moving it fast...

[Chivs]

I thought there was a rule where you had to start with 6 of the same team as the previous league game?  Or have I made that up?

[Mr Popodopolous]

Exciting though this side is and high energy though it will likely be- I worry about a central 2- potential for large gaps in behind or holes in the middle, but then again Rowe is a bit more defensive than Dasilva? If Szmodics drops in and helps form a 3 then that assuages those concerns but will be interesting to see how we fare anyway.

Isn't that just the FA Cup?

Nope, THE Matt Smith has gone to Millwall. I guess they had a load of shirts printed and didn’t want to waste them

[Brann-red]

Good amount of city fans here already. Looking forward to this . Looks like they’ve  opened only half the ground for the home fans
