On the nail Clive. I feel for Frey he is doing a sterling job up front without any support. I would put Lloyd alongside him and see if they can open it up a bit. I think we have a real prospect in Alfie Lloyd, he has pace, is strong and needs to be given an opportunity to see if they can forge something. For me at the moment jury is out on Celar, not sure if it is a confidence thing, settling into English football or he is just not up to it. |

Reply | Is Eustace a better manager than Cifuentes?
at 15:09 29 Sep 2024
Eustace is a decent manager, Cifuentes is a decent manager. Still think this season we are finding our feet, it started to click at Luton but the damn international break I think has hampered us a bit and any momentum we would have got sort of stopped. Still believe that at home we have been far too passive and not loading the attack and hence drawing games. To be honest we did not collapse yesterday and could have nicked a goal. Need a win at home on Tuesday and expect that Marti will mix it up a bit to take the game to Hull. I would like to see Lloyd starting in place of Smyth and try and play off Frey. Our biggest problem is getting the ball through the centre of midfield quickly enough as we get stuck in this me to you, you to me playing across the back line and allowing the oppo to get nicely set up. Need to see more of Madsen trying to link up through the middle and taking the game forward, rather than in Millwall game where he seemed to be hugging the left side a lot. [Post edited 29 Sep 15:10]

Regardless of the sending off, Frey is virtually having to do everything at the top end of the pitch. Personally would like to see him and Alfie Lloyd as a front two. I didn't like the look of our front line today far too lightweight with Saito, Dembele and Smyth. Dembele off his game today never got into it. Smyth is not a starter for me, would prefer Lloyd who is bigger and stronger. Passing in the team as a whole is poor. Lucky to get away with a 2-0 defeat, Varane looks a liability at the moment and so it proved. |

Reply | Pep on the EFL Cup
at 14:04 25 Sep 2024
Think the EFL and FA cup need a total revamp, trouble is they seem to be totally over reliant on major sponsorship and the hope that the big boy premier teams show some interest in the cups, which they don't really appear to do they!
The EFL cup is in need of a major revamp they have ditched extra time and gone straight to penalties, but it is still a competition dying on its feet and seems just a pain to the Prem and Championship teams until possibly the later stages. I suppose the question ito ask, is the EFL cup needed, if the product is no longer fit for purpose? [Post edited 25 Sep 14:05]

A poor game, we are back to the old me to you, you to me in the back line which just slows us down. The only time we really stopped this was the equaliser from Frey, three passes and bang a goal. Personally thought Millwall probably deserved the 3 points and they would be disappointed they could not get the winner. On the plus side we are hard to beat and Frey is doing well up front, worked his socks off again, thought he was our best player. [Post edited 21 Sep 19:11]

at 19:04 21 Sep 2024
Madsen seemed totally out of position to me, hugging left when we needed something in the middle where Field struggled to get hold of anything. Thought Paal in midfield in first half was a mistake and affected Madsen as he pushed left too much. Still need someone who can pick the ball off Cook and JCS as we were playing far too much you to me, me to you stuff and so slow allowing Millwall to set up nicely, who I thought by the way played some decent football and would have gone away disappointed that they did not win this one, but we are proving hard to beat, which is a plus. |

I would say just a poor game from him today, not sure that him and Dembele fit together. Think he might still be recovering from the injury up at Sheff Utd, but no excuses he was well off it. Dembele also out of sorts as well. Frey was very good today seemed to be working his socks off all game, getting goals as well. |

Quite correct Clive what is the point of being a top level football club if you don't really go for it whatever the competition. Thought we played well especially 2nd half, although you could tell Palace were playing in low gears. I really like Alfie Lloyd personally feel he may turn out to be a bigger prospect (watch this space) than Kolli. |

Think he is still adjusting to English football, if he can nick a goal even coming off the bench then his confidence will probably improve. Not that worried at the moment, as Frey seems to be first choice, but probably needs to get off the mark from the bench and to that end not seen this so far. I have been impressed with Alfie Lloyd reckon he could do a job as replacement centre forward when Frey gets taken off, he is strong and last night nearly got us back in it in last couple of minutes. |

Reply | So many positives - yet a meltdown on here - dose of reality please
at 11:00 18 Sep 2024
I thought we held up pretty well last night and got ourselves back in it against a Palace team who basically had their big guns up front in Eze, Mateta and Nkiete. Eze was class as usual, thought we looked much better when Dembele came on but some strong performances, Varane looked more comfortable and Madsen getting more assured in his role. Nice to see Field score. I do think Marti should put Alfie Lloyd up as a central striker he is making great progress and showing more impact than Celar, who is still looking a bit lost in English football at the moment. I take away we are improving nicely. |

At the moment Frey is the main man, Celar looks a bit lost at this level at the moment. We have to give him time so far a bit underwhelming, may come good hopefully. |

Hopefully get decent home support tomorrow, looking forward to it, we can beat them they are struggling for form, but it's going to be tough. Even if we can get a draw then to penalties great chance to go through. |

QPR and Crystal Palace have played each other 7 times in the FA Cup (including replays) and once in the League Cup and Palace have never beaten the Rangers. Palace's only cup win was in 1991 in the Zenith Data Cup thingy. I remember being at the game the last time we played them in the 1982 FA Cup in the 1- 0 quarter final win at Loftus Road - COYRssss |

Exactly you have to change tact and move on, it happened with the training ground and the years of the shenanigans with Warren Farm etc. and then a leftfield move on the Heston site which was delivered quickly and well. I have such mixed views on staying at Loftus Road, but I have come to the conclusion that the ground and it's footprint are cemented in an era that is not sustainable for a modern football stadium, however much we love the old place. |
