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).

Agree with what many others have said, possibly the worst first 45 mins I've seen from us but we held out. Not sure what happen at HT with Kolli but I hope he wasn't the scape goat as Anderssen was by far the biggest culprit for no end product and losing possession and was frankly p1ssed off seeing him trot out again for the second half. Marti needs to get wise to using his subs better and today I think today showed that again.
Smyth ran himself into the ground, and was probably our best player today, followed by Varane.
The ref was a complete knob end, yellow card one minute same offense 10 minutes later nothing. Corners not given and certain players allowed to foul at will. Expecting a fairly low score on the match report for him.
Alfie Lloyd runs his heart out but is just to nice when it come to the dark arts. Hulled down by his shirt 3 times and barely raised an arm to complain. Come on Alfie, you don't have scream at the ref but you can ask him to give you the time of day.
When Chair decided himself he had to take our last corner everyone around me and including me said it's going to hit the first man and then it hit the first man I realised how far we still have to go. I ask what has he done this season to justify ordering anyone around on that pitch?
We've progressed, but still have some fairly evident issues that need sorting quick.

Yeah, thought Marti got a lot wrong today and we won a point despite that. I feel for Andersen as he was great last season but it's crazy starting him as his legs have gone and it's a waste of a shirt, no matter how good his touch is. We've got a brilliant base to our team now and it's about getting up the pitch quicker when we win the ball. We need more pace, not less. Such a shame that Dembele got that injury.

this was a decent game in the championship, brizzle may have had most of it but we defended well, kept shape and worked hard , took only chance an it's a GOAL OF THE SEASON , brizzle were chasing a play off spot so a good point, 6 unbeaten we ARE ON A ROLL!

Kolli not scapegoat - he asked Marti to come off - had been ill midweek. His stats show this : 7 touches in 45 mins ; won zero duels ; no shots; one pass to a teammate. Alfie while not perfect made 27 touches and just caused more havoc to the City defence. Koki was nowhere near his best, Andersen poor, Kolli not his best. No wonder our midfiield was struggling: they had to keep winning the ball back / often had no outlet to pass to.
I agree about corners. Love Illy but baffled at how a generally good player technically is often so poor at corners.

Much of that game was, indeed, a very hard watch for Rangers fans. But, we are still closer to the drop zone than fans and the club would wish us to be. That requires a game plan, in order take the climb up the table. Marti's plan was clearly to defend doggedly and try to catch them on the break. It was ugly but it worked. The defenders were very good at their job. It would have been even better if the break-out moves were conducted more carefully and if our lonely striker had been able to hold on to the ball a little longer. But, we are not Liverpool. We have to make the best of what we have and Marti does that well. Like it or not, today's result was a success.

Exactly - this is what matters, that’s a brilliant return from three matches.
We’ve produced two of the worst halves of football in living memory (today first half and Oxford first half) but we have also defended like kings and let in one goal in five games.
Being ugly and hard to beat is the right way to go when you’ve got an injury ravaged squad now onto its only fit forward that wasn’t even that great in the first place.
Fair play to Marti for setting up his team like this when he clearly doesn’t really want to, fair play to players for their defensive efforts and fair play to the fans for not moaning or giving up while we get ourselves out of the sh-t once again by parking the bus

Interesting analysis from Leroy Rosenior and Tony Thorpe on City that I think our forward line could learn from, particularly the bit about movement in the box.

Amazes me that some of us seem to think that we are a better team without him. He was only on the field for about 15 minutes, but in that time the ball was played to him in tight situations/areas and the ball stuck. That never happened with Saito, yesterday, who is very talented, but yesterday's game showed to me that he still has a lot to learn.
When Paal came on, for the first time in the entire game, the left-side linked up effectively: correctly weighted passes played to feet and then running off the ball to receive the return pass and actually move forward into space with some purpose.
We'll need him for the remainder of the season as he's better than all of the other attacking midfield players at our club. The MC's rallying call, post-match, that the club isn't lulled into thinking that we've turned the corner, was telling as well.

Yes, it sticks with Chair but Saito has much more attacking intent and I guess mis-control is the price that you have to pay for that (Alfie Lloyd being the prime example). I think given what we need to be doing right now Saito and his propensity to drive forward (albeit at the expense of losing the ball more often) is more what we need.

Precisely. Anyone who has played the game knows it takes a minimum of 5 games to get match fit and up to speed following a lengthy lay off through injury.
To criticise his efforts having just returned is naive and unjustified.

Not really I was watching from by the corner flag, Madsen came over to take it and Illy did his thing.
He's not up to speed and had been on for 10 minutes, I tend to think what he did was selfish and not in the best interests of the team. I mean come on he blasted it into the face of the first Bristol player, which he tends to do when fit and involved. What am I missing here?

In the current set up, Smythe and Dunne are complementary with Smythe supporting Dunne and Ditto Saito with Ashby/Paal. Difference is Saito is 'learning' the defensive duties...
Would like to see Chair as a #10 in the set up while KD is out. Also agree Mads should take the corners.
