Just as I saw it, Sheffield Wednesday were well set up and did a number on us. I thought we did look tired especially first 10 mins of the 2nd half and you could see that Wednesday had stepped it up a bit. Gaining 6 points from the last 3 games from two difficult away trips is a great return. For me it is how we respond at Millwall as since our renaissance in November when we lost at Swansea and Leicester we have tended to bounce back in the next game.
Typical Rangers, sell out crowd on a good run of wins and we were just not really at it today. Sheff Wednesday do what they seem to do at our place step up a bit and win, very similar to last season's home game where they took chances and won. We didn't create anything of note to trouble them to be honest.
This league is bizarre, it ebbs and flows and anybody can beat anybody and that's why it is so exciting. Even look at us back before the last international break it looked pretty grim, now we are looking a very good prospect. It's a funny old game.
Clubs don't on the whole take risks with players playing so close to the end of a transfer window, if Jimmy is not in the starting line up on Saturday then that may be an indication that he could be on his way.
I like Lloyd, was impressed with his endeavour when first saw him come on against Spurs in the pre-season friendly. Pace and power, like the way that Cifuentes is using him to stretch defenders in last third of the match. We now have great striking options, for me it's Frey for the first 60 or so minutes to batter defenders, with Kolli and Lloyd to come on and stretch and run at them. Hopefully Lloyd can get a goal or two soon and his confidence will be sky high, we have already seen Kolli do the business and he is showing great promise as well. Always liked Saito he is a very dangerous player and the Hull game perfectly captioned this and what a lovely goal he scored. Onwards and upwards for the Rangers.
Saw them at Wembley last year, obviously not the same especially vocally as their heyday with Bon and Brian. Still a great show and spectacle as they are the ultimate classic hard rock band and Angus gives it his all.
Ashby with really only a handful of games at top level at 23 and costs £3m says a lot about the modern game. Let's go back 40 years to the Venables era and you were an experienced footballer at that age, e.g. Stainrod, Fenwick, Neill, Dawes, Clive Allen, McDonald were top level in their early 20s. With paper thin squads in those days you had to be a very good player to get anywhere near a squad of about 14 or 15 players top, and only 12 players were selected per game.
If you get the chance just have to go for it and try and get a foothold in the Prem, but the odds on staying up for promoted teams are pretty poor and getting poorer as the gap between the haves and have nots continues to widen. You have to admire what teams like Brentford, Bournemouth, Brighton, Fulham and Palace have done to get traction in the top division.
Top 10 finish would be great with a little outside chance of a top 6 would be superb. Birmingham City fan I know has been telling me for weeks now that he reckons QPR are on the way to the play offs.
Really like the way Kolli is progressing, think Marti is doing it the right way by having Frey lead the line for the first 60 mins, then bringing Rayan and Alfie on. Also Rayan is getting his finishes away, which really is important for building confidence. All looking up for the Rangers and young Kolli, long may it continue.
One of those players that you are willing to come good in a QPR shirt, but it just does not happen. Cifuentes gave him a go early in his tenure but he just fell short again, been the story since Warburton signed him.
Be interesting to see if this affects our momentum with two difficult away games to come. What I took away from this game was you can really tell the players that are just not good enough or even committed enough for the rigours of the Championship. I watched Madsen in the pre-match warm up and he did not even look involved in that, very tentative footballer. Ashby such a strange player, can't make him out, looks at half speed most of the time and makes far too many mistakes and caught out big time on Saturday. Felt confident on way up to the game, saw the fog as we entered Leicestershire and thought is this going ahead, got to the ground and thought we are going to be Charity Park Rangers and our little boys won't fancy this, especially with your best competitive players not in that starting 11. You could easily tell the quality of Leicester they take their chances, even if they are given them by our poor decision making. Not duly worried as we are a mid/lower Championship side playing a team at a level higher, albeit struggling to get a foothold back in the Prem again.
