Reply | The Morgan - Varane - Field midfield
at 19:24 24 Feb 2025
For me this is the nail on the head - Sorry but Chair goes onto the bench away from home and starts at home.
I can not think of a game away from home for ages where Chair has made the difference.
At home (especially Friday nights and SKY cameras) he is pure mustard. |

Cheers Clive - It was one of the rare games I didn't go to or watch on TV or a stream (just about to invest in one of those fire sticks). However the away's I have been to this season are Derby, Leeds, Swansea, Leicester and Millwall and as you say it sounds like rinse and repeat on any of those. That 15 minute spell after half time is rarely any good for us for some reason.
Got my eye on Preston as the next one hopefully the penny will have dropped by then. |

We may need to change our formation, tactics and shape when playing away.
Need to block the midfield when away especially for the first 65/70 minutes.
For me that means Morgans legs and maybe Chair on the bench.
BTW - I wasn't there today or watched the game so I am saying this on the games beforehand. |

Thank god for our owners continuing to fund the club to circa £2M per month.
Good to see we are heading in the right direction on and off the pitch but it still scares me how much we continue to rely on their funding. I mean even they must have a limit on continuing to throw money down the drain at these levels. |

Cracking read that Clive.
I was really confident of a win tonight but now after reading Derby's away record I am bloody terrified.
That old Chinese proverb is never far away:

Thanks Clive spot on as always.
I've still got the bang needle this morning with the outcome. Mainly because of our 3 corners in stoppage time and Paal letting the ball go out for a throw which started the chain of events that led to their goal.
Anyway we are still 11 points off relegation and a big Friday night game under the lights to come this week. I would love to put a nail in Derby's coffin Friday especially after our pathetic performance up their place earlier this season.
At my age it should not be the case that my moods are so attached to this bloody football club.......My poor wife suffers every time.....and she doesn't even get to go out this Valentines evening because of it..... |

Reply | Did Nardi Cost us the point?
at 14:46 12 Feb 2025
Nardi sat down because Coventry changed their shape half way through the second half so allowed Marti to get his counter shape message across to the players. For me he is the best keeper we have had since Smithies. Dare I say it Premier League standard. I think we will get a big offer for him in the summer.
Agree on Paal and Chair - Dead balls are very poor and Chair continues to frustrate me. We need more from him especially in that position seems like he playing with the handbrake on. |

A point would have been a fantastic result and we definitely deserved a point on the balance of our play all evening.
That late goal gave me the bang needle - I had to go into the garden with the dog afterwards to calm down. Haven't slept well either.
This bloody football club............ |

Great report thank you Andrew - Really enjoyed reading that.
A cracking game under the lights and I thought we were really good across the team which had a lovely balance to it. Be interesting to see if Marti sticks with that starting eleven or decides Varane will give us more protection away from home.
I also thought the Ref had a good game and it's a much better spectacle when they allow the game to flow and not want to be the "star of the show" blowing for every minor technical contact. |

Thread | Subs last night....
at 07:33 5 Feb 2025
I thought on the whole they were great again and changed the game back into our favour especially the Colback sub.
Big discussion in the car on the way home was would it of been better bring Kolli on instead of Lloyd. Kolli seems to be better at keeping possession and the patten of the game was more suited to him especially at home on a tighter pitch. Lloyd could be better away from home on bigger pitches where there is more space to run behind.
Be good to hear other thoughts on this - It's great having these options as they all seem to give you something different depending on the situation. |

Thanks Chaps - Good info there.
Signing an injured player who is out for the rest of the season is just so QPR.
Please never change my wonderful club!! |

Reply | Dunne off?
at 07:28 4 Feb 2025
I hope Dunne does now sign a long contract - He can still get a move (with a trigger of lets say £5M in the terms of which he will get a percentage) He will get an immediate pay rise and everyone's happy.
I like to think this was plan B which Norry and Dunne had already agreed to should Sheff Utd not meet our asking price. |

Thanks Clive great report - It was a rip roaring London Derby which as you say we probably deserved a point from for the second half performance.
Chair still miles of it and looks unfit and our and left hand side remains our achilles heel. Opposition teams know that and target that area.
I think Edwards would be more than able to fill in the Right Back slot should Jimmy head up north today.
Need to get something now Tuesday night to calm everyones nerves. |

The London Pride in the C&S used to be the best under the old landlord. Definitely not quite the same since. He kept a fantastic celar. |
