Erol Bulut wants more players in ASAP AND:

Sun Aug 11, 2024 2:54 pm

Erol Bulut:

"We have to (do more business)," he said. "We are looking, negotiating with a few positions where we have need. I hope. I hope shortly we can finalise two or three.”

I need to get them in as soon as possible.”

“We also need to move a few out and have let other clubs know.”

That's great Erol - more quality additions are all well and good, but please make sure they are fit to hit the ground running, maybe have some pace and know where the net is.

Secondly, please be brave and try the 442 system - very popular back in the day and it does work, I promise you. Having more possession than your opponent does not guarantee wins - putting an extra striker in front of opposition defenders and asking both to close down their space might get us a few goals and some wins! Opposition defenses should NEVER be comfortable when they come to the CCS - it's inexcusable.

He probably saw Tanner’s performance yesterday and decided he can’t watch that again.

New players are needed and expected, hopefully get some before Burnley.

Things aren’t always ideal, but others are right when they say it’d be ideal if we could bring in someone who is ready to start straight away.

LB and striker.

Regardless of yesterday. Has to be seen.

O Dowda isn't a full back, he isn't a wing back. He is a winger. We aren't using him correctly.


Collins isn't the answer either. Had a good end to the season last year but is prone to mistakes.

I think someone had a word with O’Dowda at half time because he attacked more. He’s a big unit and should be more direct.

He shouldn't be playing LB. He is one of our more creative players.

Where do you fit him in the attack though when everyone’s fit?

El Ghazi on the right and Willock on the left, he’s not good enough to be ahead of either of them.

He’s better than Willock and anyway you need the both over a period of 46 games.

Is he?

Last four seasons:

Willock - 20 goals, 22 assists

O’Dowda - 6 goals, 6 assists


O’Dowda has never have more than four goals and four assists in a season. Willock has not had less than 8 goal involvements in a season during his time at QPR.

Willock is also more reliable when it comes to injuries. Has played 35+ league games in three of the last four seasons. The only season he didn’t reach that number, he still played in 28.

O’Dowda has only reached that number of 28 in one of the last four seasons (when he played 39).

There is still time to get players in - But we should have got these players in before going on tour ( just 2 players ) .

Agree
always said get in early a chance to gel but we always wait to the end to pick up a bargain
but most have gone elsewhere by then
and we could have played 4 lost 4 by then.
