Can’t see any changes to starting 11 …..just Bambo for Bauer on the bench I would guess.
 
Possibly a start for Delap though as I've indicated previously I actually quite like Parrott and think that he just needs a bit of luck to start him off on a goalscoring run like the one Cannon has now embarked on.

I tend to agree…have always been a champion of so called lost causes.
 
Woodman

Storey Bambo Hughes

Potts Browne Whiteman DJ Alvaro

Cannon Delap

But we know Lowe will leave Lindsay and Parrott in so it’s irrelevant

I'd like to see Delap in for Parrott who I really don't rate at all a striker tbh. Delap needs a proper opportunity he could take abit of pressure off Cannon I think and start scoring goals.

My impression is that Parrott plays a deeper role with Cannon on the centre defender’s shoulder. He covers so much ground and is a great link between midfield and attack. I really like him and the combination of him and Cannon.

We don’t seem as much of a threat with Delap and Cannon together because we miss Parrots workrate getting all over the pitch to win the ball and get it forward.

Having said that I’m glad we have all three of them. Decent players.
 
Players should be well rested for tomorrow.
Passed the coach this morning, hoping lads might be in same hotel as me but sadly not.
Hope Bambo is back & Cannon partnered by Delap to see how they play together. With more than 1 match together to form a “partnership.”
Not “sold” on Parrot, leave as an option if needed off the bench.
A word for Ched, think he’ll be sadly missed but, his condition permitting, hope he can travel with the lads as he’s an important part of the squad dynamic.
 
QPR have had some terrible results since Ainsworth rocked up. Had the 6-1 at the Lashers and also lost 1-0 at home to Birmingham and away to Wigan last week when their only serious shot was in 94th minute.

Of course I can understand the emotional attachment but I thought it was a strange time to leave as QPR were far from safe and Wycombe were on a very good run and looking good for another play off finish.

QPR need something as they have West Brom away on Monday so could be in the bottom 3 if Huddersfield win either of the next two and others picked up points.

I've always thought of Loftus Road as a bogey away venue but been some decent wins there in last few years so feels like it could be another 1-2.

Personally I'd go unchanged from last week.
 
I love Bambo but there’s no way he’ll start before Lindsay tomorrow. The back 3 were back to their best last week and the only success Blackpool had were out wide on the wings against a tiring Brad Potts and newly introduced Robbie Brady . Ryan Lowe seems to prefer Parrot playing behind Tom Cannon but he seems currently really short of confidence. DJ could play there but he’s struck up such a partnership with Alvaro that it would be foolish to move him Imo. I can’t see us going with 2 up top as we seem to be ultra cautious in most matches. It will be a battle and wouldn’t be surprised if Ledson replaces Parrott.

He does play deeper, and Cannon suffers from it, because there is so much space between the two of them, Cannon gets marked out of the game. You can’t base it on the Lashers game cos they’re incompetent, but the other games it’s not until Ched or Delap has been on the pitch that Cannon is able to isolate defenders, because Parrott is too far away to link them properly

I'd prefer Bambo up against Lyndon Dykes. He's more comfortable against physical strikers than more mobile ones.
 
To me Parrot is a 10. Theoretically you could play him, Delap and Cannon. But as a poster above said putting Parrot with Cannon only serves to hamstring Cannon. Whatever people's thoughts on Delap if he plays upfront he works those defenders and gives Cannon space.
Parrot tends to drop a bit deep which isolates Cannon and takes space from our "attacking" midfielder.

Think you linked the wrong post there mate!
I’d play Bambo against him also. However, his speed also lets him deal with the more mobile ones - that lad at Coventry for example.
