- Poor game, Birmingham are dogshit, without Smithies' error they had nothing.
- We need to talk about Conor...
- Can we try Robinson upfront?
- Great atmosphere.
- I liked watching those Brummies get thrown out. Not sure for what though.
- Woo a win away! |  | | |  |

I was sent a text that Smithies spilled the ball for their goal. How was his performance apart from that? | |

And now Brum have sacked Cotterill just like they did Zola the last time we visited 
Just a shame we couldn't have done it to Redknapp... |  | | |

That was his only involvement TBH. Birmingham should be bloody worried. | | | |

He had nothing to do apart from this.
Dealt with crosses comfortably.
Good kicking,
But the error was a bad one.
Seeing as he's best keeper we;ve had for ages...we can allow thos one | | | |

Close at the bottom but hard to see how Brum escape the drop. Sacking Rowlett and later appointing Redknapp was a real double whammy death wish. |  |

Absolutely brilliant from our fans. Unlike their fans who largely filed out at 80 minutes. Plus we all shouted at Robinson to shoot when he was hesitating for the second goal. Wasn’t a classic performance - I’ve seen us play better and lose - but some nice moments and a real team performance.
Worried about Connor too. Didn’t really show anything. Personally I thought Sylla looked like he caused more problems than Smith when he came on. Good to see him playing with wingers.
Just great to see a win. |  | | |

It was baffling to see their fans all leave with 5 to go (plus injury time) considering our predilection for late drama. | | | |

Just back. Thought our midfield was excellent in the first half where they were biting into tackles with well timed interceptions and we should have been two or three up at the break. After the interval, we had another good chance to extend our lead but then Birmingham grew into the game and got a lucky break. Prior to that rare chance, I thought that they were very poor and were there for the taking but we sat further back, inviting them on and then we resorted to playing on the break. Thought Sylla was very impressive when coming on but Washington is woeful and ought to have been replaced earlier. A good turn out from our fans with good vocal support including several rousing renditions of "Feed the Brummies" which put a few smiles on people's faces. All in all, a deserved three points. Heard they have dismissed Cottterill but it's their board who need to have a good, hard look at themselves .Sometimes, we need to be grateful for what we have and not act like spoilt brats who think we deserve success. |  | | |

Word for word spot on. |  | | |

Great reading all these just backs - stuck at work but gave a massive whoop when the second goal went in, much to the surprise of the Premier League colleagues who hadn't registered that a goal had gone in outside the top flight.
Sylla should start every game as far as I'm concerned - best pound for pound goalscorer we have. Yes he was shite at Forest (so was everyone else), yes he sometimes gives the impression he's not interested, but in my humble opinion he's the best bet we have, is a confidence player and needs to know he's first choice.
Washington seems to get more plaudits because he runs around more but with the limited resources we have, I'd back Sylla any day of the week. |  | | |

He seemed to spill quite a few( but recovered or was saved by teammate) on a highlight vid I watched before we got him.
I hope it's not a returning habit. |  |

Whisper it quietly, but Smithies for all the smoke that gets blown up his arse - isn't in the best of form right now. If Rob Green had made that error today he'd be getting called every name under the solar system. [Post edited 16 Dec 2017 20:57]

It was a bad error but apart from one at Ipswich I am really struggling to remember another Smithies error since his first ever game. |  |

He's allowed one every blue moon, considering how many times he's saved us. We should've been at least two up by then anyway. | | | |

Sometimes you just got to win, and winning ugly don't matter. So well done Rangers.
Its vital to win at teams doing worse than you. It turns the screws on them and a defeat may well have exacerbated the fears of some and enraged the emotions of others.
Great to see JR coming back off some serious injuries. Really hope the lad can push on now.
Just seen the highlights, what an absolute howler of a miss from CW. I love his effort, and we can't fault him there. But I agree with the OP, there is a conversation to be had here about CW.
So, three points. A win and a win away at that. Top banana. |  |

Delighted with the win yesterday. When confidence is low sometimes you just need to grind out a result. Hopefully we can push on and take something from next week to keep building... |  | | |

Mainly because that would have been the ninth time he'd done it during that half and everyone's nerves would already be in tatters from watching his goal kicks barely clear our area. Otherwise, he was brilliant. Except when coming for corners or one on ones. Or controlling the box. |  |

Was in the ground early yesterday, around 2pm, and watched him go through his drills, including kicking with both feet. He was constantly and very accurately finding the coach beyond the halfway line.
I said to Mrs FB can you imagine watching Green doing this?
If he makes a mistake, and we win then that may make it less likely that someone will come in for him which could be good for us in the longer term. | | | |

"...and not act like spoilt brats who think we deserve success."
Sadly, there a LOT of QPR fans who behave like that, based on the kind of attempts to buy our way out of trouble in recent years.
We are trying to dig our way out of the sh*t re FFP and that means cutting our cloth accordingly.
Despite our lowly position, I'm happier with/about the club than I have been for a long time - and great to have chalked up ur first away win for 10 months.

I was thinking something similar myself. We have a core group of players who put the effort in till the last whistle and seem to have a good team spirit. Now we have defenders back from injury I think we have a squad capable of surviving BUT Holloway needs to play Sylla and Wheeler more and drop Washington. |  |

Really?
Like all GKs there have been plenty.
There have also been plenty of match saving/winning performances as well though | | | |
