Yes Lappin and Johnson in the middle and PIlks and Bennett on wings, surprised Naughton has been dropped thought he was massive against Fulham.

CMON YOU YELLOWS [:D]

Looks that way.

Surprising line up again, lets hope it pays off.....

Not especially confidant about the game, for once. Would normally predict a win against anyone, but today I just think QPR will get lucky and win.

We may well be playing the diamond

Johnson

Bennett Lappin

Pilkington

The word is rested not dropped! It''s a squad game in the PL.

Maybe 4-4-2 diamond with lappin on the left and either pilkington or bennett just behind holt and jackson?

[lake district canary 0]

PL doesn''t change - he''s showing faith in all our players.

Looks like a lively match in prospect!

Sorry to be negative but personally since i have seen the lineups can see a loss.

Would like to see Lappin impress, lets hope im wrong and we win.

Would like to see Morison come on later on along with Wes and Surman/Naughton.

This formation seems very attack minded and has lots of width imo.

Got to find a link in a bit :)

OTBC!

[AJ 1,358]

Lets not forget Lappin is one of the hardest working players in the side, in the middle with Johnson I can see him doing okay. Glad to see Morison dropped, he''s been poor the last few games and obviously needs a rest/kick up the bum. We''ve got the players on the bench should we need them too.

Keep the faith, remember how well Drury played!

[BarclayCanary (Former HDDH) 0]

True, can see a diamond formation like what was said above with Pilks playing behind Holt and Jackson.

Would love Jackson to score again and prove all of his doubters wrong.

[AJ 1,358]

He is certainly a fine goalscorer. A commentator the other day (I think it was Everton game), stating how we can''t play Holt and Morison together, and I believe he is right. Jackson adds something different, a bit of pace and danger that we need up front.

[Mr. Bump 0]

Certainly not the line up I was expecting or hoping to see but I''ll trust Lambert''s judgement. Still think we will win.

Lappin hat-trick anyone?

[BarclayCanary (Former HDDH) 0]

Anyone got any links?

 

First row sports or whatever the link is (I forgot) is now not working for me.

 

Thanks.

Also, I hope Holt has been told to wind up Barton, surely a sneaky elbow or two will get Barton so wound up, he will just leave. Can''t be too hard to get him sent off?

Don''t start asking for links in the thread, because they it gets removed.... Just wait until kick off and try First Row, worked every time i''ve tried it.

Sorry forum police, I actually meant the website was not working for me.

Turns out the shitty internet went down (Using mobile phone atm).

[Pyro Pete 2,353]

Another curious starting line-up. I can''t help thinking we played our best starting 11 against Spurs when we should have rested players who could seen us through against Fulham and QPR. Oh well, Lambert''s the one who has got us here. If he wants to go a bit nuts over Christmas & New Year, go ahead, go nuts.

No i''m not forum police, I just don''t want this thread to get removed because someone has posted a link to a stream, which everyone on here knows isn''t allowed.

A lot of ''pundits'' have been talking about Holt putting himself about, i think its a matter of time until he gets sent off !

[Gingerpele 0]

Well he should have been sent off against Everton, and apparently he elbowed someone against Spurs as well?

Sorry I meant to say '''' rested '''' but is two games in 3 days too much to ask for professional athletes ?

In Lambert we trust though [:D]

Dreadful soft goal. Martin caught flat footed right back.  Lappin ball watching as Barton pushes into the box to score.
