That's what I'd go with.
You just wonder how far off the pace Riggott was not to be in the 16 today though?

Griffin is a far better left back as we saw last season hence Wilko at RB

If you watch the tape back you will see that Wilko never completed one pass to a stoke player. I like him and Dicko but if you're going to slate some players, look at them all.
Pugh at left back doesn't work. Cresswell, as hard as he works, doesn't offer enough pace going forward. Diao, not fit. Whelan, good passing, but got caught on the ball more times than i could keep count of today! Cort/Shawcross, both good young players, just need a leader/talker in their for the time being.

I agree that Wilko/Dickos distribution is poor but they make up for it. They are far better defenders and they always play with Passion.

Pugh should only be in the side in centre mid, Cressy should play up front. Rory and Whelan in centre midfield. Dicko and Wilko at full back, Griff doesn't look anywhere near the player he was, as for Salif his heads in Monaco.

Cort is a League One standard defender. And he's nearly 29, not young at all. The fee paid for him was ridiculous.

To be fair I think QPR' first two goals were down to one of our centre midfield players not getting close enough to their player, I noticed Whelan was standing well off him for first goal I think, he should have been closing him down and denying him space. Again on the second goal someone should have picked him up.Bad defending isn't always just down to the defenders.

It's true that when he stops scoring, his deficiencies do move more clearly into focus - more so when we're unable to score the 3-4 goals we've needed to win games recently. He gives me the s***s when the ball's around him. Amongst the undeniably good job Pulis has generally done since he got back, to lash out potentially £3.5m on a centre-half combination who patently do not complement each other, with neither being the vocal leader type we're crying out for, looks like a very questionable outlay at this stage. And another 1/2m on Pugh, who is clearly not a left-back and is seemingly only being played in his weakest position merely to give him a game, also looks very debatable at the moment (although I wouldn't really fancy him at left wing either)

cresswell and pugh are not left wingers

if you watch diao for both goals he seems either to scared to get a foot in or to slow not sure which the fact is he is killing us we started off with 10men then got reduced to 9 the team should of had dicko at LB and pugh in the middle

Listening to Pulis, post-match, it sounded like Riggott was quite a way from fitness - maybe it surprised him how far off the pace he was in training?
And with only 10 games left, how many will he take getting up to speed? He hasn't figured since 11th November and has recently had a hamstring injury
And, worryingly, he hasn't been billed as a dominant leader-type either by the Boro and Derby fans?
It'll be interesting to see if we loan anyone in before the Burnley game. Any further loan will surely be a left winger or a striker. And anyone of any calibre will be looking to start - which will hopefully really pressurise Cresswell and Sidibe if he STILL won't consider starting Gallagher

I actually thoguht Buxton looked better than all of them when he came on. On three or for occations he was cool in the challenge. We had a clean sheet against Dipshit so I just don't know why he had to go and tinker with it after that. It going to take me a few days to get this shitty mood of me now

I lost count the amount of times Salif let men just run in behind him. This happened twice before QPR had scored, too me he looks disinterested and unfit.

Diao shouldnt be anywhere near the squad at the moment,same with Sidibe.

Salif has a problem, he must have becasue that is not the same palyer who was here last season. Had it of been last season the first goal would never have happened.
