I doubt we're playing over the top or putting in crosses that he'll get on the end of.
It's all out attack with that lineup, are they capable is the question.
I doubt they'll be able to avoid unnecessary pressure at the back by trying to play it out.
You can guarantee QPR are expecting incompetence at the back and will apply the high press.
Problem with Cads is we win virtually no balls being played long, so we don't play it long and get into trouble. Not a criticism of him, but Smith is likely to win a header or two and maybe hold the ball up for the likes of Ugbo or Windass to run onto. Playing Smith might see us not fannying about with it at the back as much.
