Is three in a row possible?
Will the Archibald Leach eleven fold in front of a resurgent Rangers? Will we continue to see Kolli-flower? Does Marti Cifuentes get better looking every time QPR wins?
The Ancient Astronaut theorists say,'YES'! Again!!
A difficult game away, but we are tough to break down. I'm going for a grinding 1-0 win (though a point would be fantastic). |  | | |  |

Why does our midfield suck so much? No possession, no creativity |
Can’t be playing field and varane together, just doesn’t work. Varane was excellent , field on the other hand. 😳 19 touches in 95 minutes of football in the centre of the park. And 4 passes all game. Jesus. The two goals in the week covered up another poor performance on the ball. The midfield always gets dominated . Need to go back to Varane x Morgan. Atleast Morgan can pass and he gets us up the pitch! Good point though. | | | |

I thought Fields goaline clearance was half decent. |  | | |

Yep. I do also think that Varane and Morgan could be the best combination here | | | |

Wow you really don’t like Field do you?
MOTM on Wednesday: you couldn’t have been watching.
Part of a solid defensive performance today and headed off the line so played his part: silly foul for their goal but decent enough. |  | | |

Two goals on Wednesday. Defensively he’s good but depends what you want from your midfield I suppose. Sit back and get dominated or actually play football🫢 but because he cleared off the line I suppose MOM😂. 19 touches and 4 passes in 95 minutes. Varane had 45 + touches. | | | |

How has the kunting referee allowed that prick Twine just move the ball wherever he wants to take that FK from?? |
Not only did he move it away from the mark the ref had made, at the point he took the kick, another City player was basically in the middle of our wall, where he was not allowed to be. The ref had made a line as well to indicate where the City players could/couldn't stand at the end of our wall - the City players and the ref then ignored it.
Thought he was very much a homer - gave several soft free kicks to City where the same challenges against us were not given. In fact, I thought Dickie fouled Alfie Lloyd a few seconds before they got the free kick which the goal came from.
Having said that, we were awful for most of the game particularly first half. |  |

Obviously asked by Cifuentes to play much deeper today than Wednesday: he did his job.
Scored two goals on Wednesday and won us the match so he clearly played the type of football you wanted then but you still thought it was a ‘poor performance’. What did you want to make you happy with him: a hat trick? 🤣 | | | |

Yes defensively ok. Silly foul for the goal. But still how are you touching the ball 19 times in 95 minutes. I’ll tell you how. Hiding from the ball. You need players who want to get on the ball or your going to get teams dominate you like today. | | | |

Hides from the ball🙃, explain how you can have 19 touches on 95 mins without hiding from the ball? I’m not saying he’s not good defensively, interceptions, tackles yeah he’s good but in terms of on the ball, playing football . Our best performances have come with Varane x Morgan. They compliment each other way better, especially at home. | | | |

Has it crossed your mind that Marti asked him to sit deep and just break it up? You could see City liked to knock it about and Field was instrumental in spoiling that.
We were set up not to lose and we achieved that.
Well dome Marti and the squad. |  | | |

I can't explain 19 touches in 95 minutes, one of those strange anomalies I suppose plus the fact we were on the back foot most of the time. Does the 19 touches include blocks? I would be surprised if it did. | | | |

We were pretty poor first half but had some decent chances in the 2nd so maybe just about deserved a draw .
We are certainly getting harder to beat and picking up points when not at our best which is a great sign .
Very pleased for Smyth he gets unfair criticism at times but he always gives his all and does a great job getting us up the pitch
Nourry out /Marti in
Up the Rangers 🍻 | | | |

I’m assuming it does. 19 touches, 4 successful passes out of 8 attempted. So I’m assuming so. Good point . Unbeaten in 6. | | | |

Well we were playing away today so perhaps Cifuentes knows best? | | | |

We pressed and dominated the high positioning Norwich for most of the game and won by three goals.
While poorly performed in the first half vs free falling Oxford and won two goals.
Today’s poor performance is another evidence.
The difference is Morgan vs Field.
Impression is: Morgan brings attacking football, Field brings passive defensive play.
So I still prefer Morgan over Field. [Post edited 14 Dec 15:48]

If it was a lower league side out of their depth away against Man City playing for a replay, I'd say fair enough. Obvious gulf in class, do what you can lads...
But this is Bristol f***ing City, 5pts above us in mid-table.
That first 60 mins was absolute grade A horse sh*t in terms of ball retention, at least our defense was solid enough restricting them to scraps, keeping us in the game.
Lloyd helped 2nd half as you need that type of player away from home backs-to-wall, Varane was solid and you could see after the addition of Chair, Madsen & Paal we were somewhat more functional at retaining the ball, for more than 3 seconds.
Another point in the bag however, steering us further from the drop zone. With a week’s rest, I expect a much better showing at home against Preston. A win there would cap off a strong recent points return and put us in a far more comfortable position heading into Jan compared to where we were just a few weeks ago. |  | | |

I am assuming it doesn't as Sam made plenty of blocks over the ninety minutes.
At the end of the day THE TEAM battled hard and earned a point. It wasn't pretty but it didn't have to be.
All about opinions but Sam is still my first choice in midfield. | | | |

BBC states 30% possession by whole team. Assuming the ball was in play no more than 60 minutes that should mean our whole team would only have had the ball for about 18 minutes. That’s 18 minutes spread between 11 players excluding subs. Tbh, I’m more surprised any of our players had more than 20 touches. | | | |

I hate these 1230 kick offs we always look half asleep in the first half. Currently no wins this season for any lunchtime game. If Sky want to relegate us next season they should show all our matches live at 1230 as we never seem to play well in early kick offs.
My Leeds mate texted me to say their game at Preston was drab. I don't think players like early games as not psyched up enough with less time to prepare. Not only are Sky wrecking things for those who travel to games at silly hours but they are serving up dire tv spectacles with early games. |  | | |

third match this week, I will take the pt away. I like Fields, I don't get the negativity. 6 pts out of 9 this week, 6 goals, 2 wins and 1 draw. and we have dragged our self out of relegation.
Not much to complain about for me. | | | |

That game was ugly as sin. But we came away from a 3 game week unbeaten with 7 from a possible 9 points. Frankly, the game could be as ugly as a Mordor porno: I'll take it.
The points, I mean. |  |

A very good performance to get a point, agree very passive in the first half and struggled to get out of own half. Better in the second half mixing between playing out and lumping it long. Great goal from Smyth, he does get lots of pesters for his lack of quality and end product, but that was a sublime finish today! We are defending much better as a team and becoming hard to beat. Plus a few now chipping in with goals. A weeks rest now until Preston, hopefully a better performance to give us some festive cheer!

Ashby had a couple of aberrations second half but aside from that, thought the entire back four and the two centre mids were excellent. Perhaps Field was less involved as Varane seemed to intercept practically everything that came through the centre.
Smyth even beyond the goal was very good in front of Dunne.
In games like these you need a no 9 and no 10 to occupy the opposition on the rare occasions the ball gets forward, that didn’t happen with Andersen and Kolli. Saito also had an indifferent day.
In the heat of the game, we are ineffective in the oppo half, or at least until they tire. Basically the back 6 need more from the front four. |  | | |
