    Team v. QPR.

    I sincerely hope that last Saturdays second half performance is a wake up call for Ryan Mason. I have consistently stated that attack is the best form of defence. How many times this season have we gone into the lead, sat back and defended a one goal advantage, only to draw or lose the game? Too many!

    On Saturday we had no other option but to go at the opposition and boy, how it worked. Surely he must now realise that this is the way forward, literally. Take the shackles off and let the players express themselves. They showed that they have the ability to do so and should be encouraged by Mason to do so again. I am not advocating a gang ho approach but to be positive and if we do go in front, to look for the second which in all probability ensures a victory.

    I totally concur with that LB. We sort of did it against Coventry, alas the wheels came off and well, it did not end well.

    I hope Mason is allowed to adopt a style to allow us to be more attacking, my concern is that there may be something which is holding that back. We will see. Different game as we are away and QPR will not be easy. They are on the same points and have that home advantage.

    Both clubs are only 4 pts from the playoffs. Silly when you think we have had an awful run. It is a very difficult league.

    Fingers crossed we will push on after Saturday.

    Mason will revert to type on Saturday LB - one up front - playing too deep and being on the back foot.

    Lost faith in Mason to be honest and judging by the huge amount of empty seats in the last two home games so have many others.

    Hopefully we will have more attempts than our last time in London! One at least!

    Mason had a big wake up call on Saturday, will he learn from it, I doubt it apart from Campbell and Grant will start, Price will play no doubt along with Phillips/ Mepham, a good half of one game doesn?t make things all nice and rosy
    If he fails again v QPR then he should be removed

    I do not think that Phillips is available as he has got five yellow cards. I could be wrong though.

    No - that is correct! He?s not been great lately!
