A full blooded game where our midfielders actually got stuck in.
Nardi with some wonderful saves. Their keeper too, especially the one from Lloyd at the end. Ref did well spotting the handball on their disallowed goal.
Shout out for Saito, I think the kid is really good and has plenty of skill. Varane getting up to speed and looking much better too. We're not finished yet!
We could really do with their Cannon who is an excellent number 9 for them. He has a touch of the Charlie Austin's about him.
I am guessing most on here will be too young to remember Paul Warhurst? Mainly played as a centre back but Sheffield Wednesday deployed him as an emergency striker because they were down to the bare bones. He was an absolute menace in the opposing box an had a regular eye for goal when needed and then went back to centre back in other games when he wasn't needed up front. You watch Jimmy Dunne and he always looks like our most effective player in the opposition box, he seems very comfortable up there and he causes no end of problems. Just wondering if he could be deployed as a Paul Warhurst emergency striker for us? After all, apparently Warhurst only showed evidence of being good further up in a few training sessions and then they took the risk. I'm not saying by any stretch of the imagination that this is the solution to our problems, but, perhaps while we have problems and while we seemingly have an overload of right backs that perhaps it's an experiment worth doing given that we just don't cause enough physical problems up front and Dunne up there, at 6 foot 4 would be a very good target man to lay stuff off and chip in. Just a thought. I'll shut up now...
Bosh, that has overtures of Birmingham away in 1986, had Liverpool away 4 days later in the milk cup semi, Smith decides to rest half the team, the teams come out at St Andrews and Macca is wearing the number 9 shirt! We duly lost 2-0 and there was punch ups in the away end as some got on Jim smiths back. (Birmingham were bottom and hadn’t won in months)
favourite cheese mature Cheddar. FFS there is no such thing as the EPL
Watching QPR live and highlights the phrase "just put your foot through it" comes to mind so often in both boxes. Genuinely not sure what Sam Fields think a gentle side foot is going to do when the ball is cut back to him 15 yards out.
There is life and guts in the team still however.

So true. Take another look at the way he gets up high (!!!) in the Stoke penalty area, in the last minute, to get a header in. He couldn't get it on target but it was a great effort.

A friend came to the game with me on Sat, completely neutral. His summary of the game was: two poor sides, either could have won it; both keepers were the best players for their team; why didn’t the last player to score a penalty for us take it?; penalty miss aside our CF is completely ineffective and was shown up by Lloyd on as sub; Saito and Smyth did well, (Saito particularly, some leap on him!) but Smyth shoots like he’s playing Gaelic football, where 3 shots over the bar is the equivalent of a goal.
