I think only ever started one match day thread
But have taken responsibility this season for our new found cup successes.
The cup run starts here.
Taylor Richards scores a 90th minute winner - an own goal - to set us on our merry way and few games later Richards gets cult hero status in being the beginning of the magic run towards Carabao Cup Final success !!! | |

D B miss not as bad as it looked. Clearly headed over. | | | |

Happy to be winning, but all the same issues from Saturday, midfield not great EDB seems to be going backwards, full backs both poor, not stopping crosses, wingers not effectively tracking and supporting.
Positives Frey has been a menace when we can get out of our defensive 3rd, Walsh looks comfortable, Morrison impressive, Varane good in parts.
Their keeper at fault for both goals, but you can only beat what's in front of you. | | | |

Not too many comments on Varane. I think he's had a steady 45 mins with the occasional classy move. | | | |

That's what I was saying.
Forget sloppy play, this is QPR in the cup and we're 2-0 up. I'll take it for now! | | | |

The EDB chance was going in but came off the back of the head of a Cambridge player. Should have been a corner.
We have been ok, and maybe have another gear in us but some of the passing has been shocking. Simple 10 yard passes going astray. Balls to players in crowded areas where there is a better pass out wide.
Wouldn't mind Celar given half an hour and getting a goal.
Varane looks rusty and not match fit but you can see there is a plyer there.
Need to keep the ball better 2nd half. | |

'Dammit Tuck! You were supposed to be undercover! You blew up half of 26th and Vine!'
'But Chief, Mendoza had taken Brittney!'
'You're loose cannon Tuck - I'm assigning you a partner'
'You know I work alone Chief. Who's it gonna be? McFarlane? Vasquez? Dooley?'
'Nope. This is Bennie. He's transferred from London, Engerland, and he's hot shit with a Frisbee...'
(Bennie enters, bow tie, trousers at half mast, sellotape on his National Health tortoiseshell glasses)
'Evenin' all, as we say in Hounslow...'
'Goddammit Chief...' [Post edited 13 Aug 20:49]

doing OK, most of the problems have been down to us trying to be too clever playing out and getting caught
Some nice football on the break, could be further ahead and more goals here for us if we keep going,
I'd be slightly concerned if they score first in the second half though | | | |

Centre midfield looks atrocious to me….. wide open
I’m starting to feel like I’m conducting a vendetta against Anderson but he looks totally shot to me
Sad to say you can see he was a class player at his peak but the body not up to it anymore
EDB I had rated before but looks like he can’t tackle a cheese sarnie | |

as I live in Gijon, the other day was speaking to a mate of ours who's a big Sporting Gijon fan, he was telling me in Spanish that Varane is a great player and he's sad that Varane was gone, but then made a joke that their Mexican owners probably needed to buy bags of fentanyl for their side hustle. | | | |

2 things I hope happen after this game.
1. Dunne gets a haircut
and
2. Dunne returns to being the Irish Cafu. | | | |

This is the liveliest Frey's been since his arrival. | | | |

I'm unsure about him tonight. I think we look far too open in centre-mid, and he seems to often be out of position out wide. EDB looks too far forward as well. | |

And Field appears to be playing in that advanced role. Very strange.
Edit: Maybe not. EDB is now. [Post edited 13 Aug 20:55]

I'm the same... didn't want to put the lad down on his debut but he seems to give away easy passes... and not really imposed himself, hopefully early days [Post edited 13 Aug 21:00]

Have to say that Varane didn't want the ball off the backs and goalie in the twenty seconds before that goal. Doesn't excuse the fugg-up by them, but it was worrying to see. | |
