Yes, I know that. So, basically, that means a ton of season ticket holders stayed away, I guess.
Call me old-fashioned, but in days gone by, an offical crowd of 14k looked like 14k, that's all. |

I love the way Sitton literally sacked one of his players at h/t in that fly-on-the-wall doc. I'd pay for a dressing room seat right now to see someone come in and do the same to Madsen, Celar, or, well, you take your pick.
We have the despairing antithesis: a manager who signals to the fan base his professional disempowerment/plea for sympathy in his latest post-match interview by telling us that the club has a 'model' and he has to work with the players he's got.
Be careful of what you wish for! Those who've been proseltysing for a DoF-driven model with an applied footballing Weltanschauung have now got its parodic apotheosis in the form of a DoF/CEO/one-man propaganda machine who makes the club commentator look like a veteran. [Post edited 6 Nov 19:07]

Good luck with your fantasy life of me! What did anything I say have to do with a happily recovered child, you silly pillock?
Go and have a little w*nk somewhere quiet yourself, eh, and you might feel better! |

Given as 14,054 on the BBC. Watching on my stream, and judging by the huge gaps in SAR etc, it looked more like 11k to me. (Though Boro seemed to have a good following in the top of the School End - for a mid-week game especially.)
It might be a small point, but it hacks me off if the club is doing its smoke and mirrors thing with the crowd too. Though I guess it shouldn't surprise us. [Post edited 6 Nov 18:50]

I suspect it's not coincidence. Just a hunch!
It was the same thing with Austin and Johansen, to name just two.
Some of these people should try working in my sector(s) (freelance higher education, EFL teaching + editing), where even a nine month contract is like goldust. And if I'm sacked, I'm like almost all normal workers - I get, wahay, a whole month's notice. Right now, for instance, I have to go to arbitration to try to get 1,500e back on a course fee after the client, through no fault of my own, cancelled. And so it goes on.
'Paying up' contracts is just one of the many sicknesses in football, but best not get me started or the usual suspects will be digging me out for telling it as it is.
In other news, I just we had a three month international break right now, so QPR could f*ck off out of my life and I could feel like a more normal person again for a bit. |

Football can change quickly, and stranger things have happened.
Admittedly, after last night, things look pretty abject. But it wouldn't amaze me, even with the whole first team out, Chair strapped up and hacked off, and Nourry on the bench, if we sneaked a 0-1 v Weeds. |

Dream on! They're in it for themselves and their obscure motives, and they don't care about us. |

Celar really puts the lack into lustre, though he could have had a goal or two tonight. (Could have, would have, should have . . .)
Chair's supersession at h/t was (is) scary, though he's completely off it.
As for the injuries, far be it for us mere fans to wonder when any of them will be back and get some proper answers from the manager or anyone else.
What in any of this for us again? |

We were all, rightly, commending the players for their showing on Saturday, or for some of it at least, so they're not consistently poor. We were badly set up tonight,didn't start playing till we were two goals down and made Boro looks like Manchester City at times, which starts and stops with the manager. That said, with the likes of Celar, Santos and Madsen to build his side around, is there any hope? [Post edited 5 Nov 22:27]

I'd say the falling-away from the Sunderland showing makes tonight even worse.
Cifuentes really needs to man up, explain himself and his so-called team, and stop spouting his usual post-match cliches about working harder on the training ground. That was gash.
We get turned over at Leeds and the Board may well get twitchy. I'm not saying I'd definitely want him gone even if we're in the same position at Xmas, but he and his inept side-kick are hardly making a case to stay.

That truly is beyond the pale! We're actually entering now the sphere of football absurdism.
Trouble is, I can't see us winning in the next 8, either. |

We're missing, what, JCS, Colback, Frey and Paal. That's a spine of sorts, I guess, but does anything really think we'd be shooting up the table with a couple of them back? |
