Watching c5 highlights of QPR match our centre halves will need to be their game with Matt Smith looked a handful today . Focal point of all their attacks and got good service from wide & set pieces .
We’ve had our problems on the more than the odd occasion with a big target man , we’ll need cut the supply line to him unlike what we did with Madine

Throughout his career I've had a sneaking like for Smith. A decent CF, good heading ability and the rest of his game isn't bad. Could be an interesting tussle with our CH's.

OK the BBC MOTM taken from across both teams and not just the David Brooks fan club. (He played well in his 15 minutes but I have to say Blackman, O'Connell, Stevens, Baldock, Wright & Duffy must all feel a bit hard done by if this is who we voted MOTM).
 
Seen my mistake but I still think Duffy did as much in 15 minutes as Brooks did in 45 because I have no favourites. Except Ched Evans.

I agree, was only joking. Wright for me.
 



Smith is a good player, a big lad who holds the ball up well and has a bit of skill about him to compliment his game. He's one of those players that for some strange reason, I expect him to sign for Utd at some time in their career.

Played like a beast against NotLob, then again they were down to 10 men and he scored in the 91st min. Still a proper handful youre right.

Cost me 100 notes that goal, bastard !
 
It's not just a case of marking him well, as he'll win most headers. More importantly it's challenging for these headers, ensuring that we first to the second ball and crucially stopping the balls coming in in the first place. We're poor at the latter. We need to stop giving the opposition time on the ball to shoot/cross/pass just outside our box.
 
Did you see that long throw in to the back post in the Saturday highlights. Gave me the jitters combined with Smith in the air.

Worth a try?

He’s at best 3rd choice at QPR now they’ve signed Wells and Hemed.
Massive, fantastic heading ability, on the back of a decent return last year.
McClaren not fancying him is no sight on his ability since McClaren is a clown.

I think he’d be a very smart signing.

Great alternative suggestion as ever

I did fear him when we were at QPR two weeks ago and was relieved that he didnt start. I got nervous when he came on and saw a lot of weaknesses in his play such as his lack of pace and he wasnt good at finding spaces. Not a 90 min player.

He’s never been quick though and he’s bound to not be the perfect player even at this level or he wouldn’t be within our budget (assuming he even is wages wise)

But he’s a totally different option to what we have and with Norwood’s set piece delivery he’d be the perfect target for them.

11 goals for QPR last year is a decent return and I think he could better that with us.

Maybe. Agree with you about Norwood's corner taking. Reminded me of Woodward's corners!
 



Shame he hasn't done anything else for them this season. Hemed is one we should've been in for.
