Mr Modest as ever but really good to hear how he feels this team is gelling and fighting for each other and recognising that they weren't doing that earlier in the season and that it's about graft in this division over pretty football.
Marti. He swallowed his pride, his ideals and went back to simply making us hard to beat and playing to the team's actual ability, like last season. So far it has got us back on track and I agree, we looked totally doomed before the last international break.
I also think that the Morrison/Cook partnership has been important. Morrison is massively impressive and like Cook, seems to read the game a few steps ahead. No coincidence that we've improved so much. Morrison is a big find.
Really like what he says in this interview about the team needing to improve and get better. Interesting that Kolli managed to play 60 minutes but was sick. Says a lot.
He really is getting the hang of the pace of the games and reading them so much better now. He is using his physical size and frame so much more effectively now.
Yes Stoke are so weird. I thought they would pull away from us this season but they are like a friendly malignant twin and whatever season it is they just try and stay as close to us as they can. Last season we virtually had identical stats to Stoke. As was the season before that and so on. They have a lot more money than us but never seem to get the appointments or the balance right.
That is also two games in a row they have managed to chuck away in the final minutes. Mind you, you look at some of the 'Prem' players still in the Luton team and you wonder why they are making such heavy weather of it?
"Kolli, full length dive, hair trailing behind him like a parachute..." line of the season so far.
Excellent as always Clive. I've seen Kolli play in the dev team a few times and he has this technique, when running with the ball of hitting it really flat, hard and with no back lift. People blamed Gunn for being beaten at his near post but the way Kolli can hit them to be honest it was past him before he'd even set top try and save it.
Agree with every word on Jimmy Dunne. He is Mr QPR. Massive performance given the circumstances for him. Saving tackle of the season, a menace in the opposing box and another left footed finish. If anyone truly deserves a proper contract extension it's him.
I didn't realise that he'd been at the club since before he was even conceived, or 8 I guess. He's been here 11 years. He almost qualifies to be a Forever R already. I really hope he does get his shot now at this and becomes the player that I think a lot of people have seen a special one over the years. Let's hope the whole is he leaving and what's the problem thing disappears a bit now.
It kind of depends a little bit on the outcome of the next two games. Oxford is a game, in our current form, that we should win and Bristol City have the old and not so old boys against us. One of them is bound to score but it is about how we apply ourselves to these two games. If we can get 4 points (let's say) out of them then I would agree that our trajectory is upwards generally, but if they revert to being typically QPR in these kinds of matches then the Indian summer of the last four games could evaporate again. Let's hope they keep there momentum and work rate going and let's see after the Bristol City game. It also depends on who they can actually keep fit and put out over these games. Paal and Celar the latest two to be out for a while now.
Yes it seemed to be a double nasty one because he stretched to trap the ball, which he did and then in the act of doing so got his studs caught in the turf. Looked painful.
Some really great play late on between Morgan, Varane and Kolli to carve out chances. Really starting to like Varane. Kolli almost playing a kind of Tierry Henry position as a wide attacker. Morgan just plays without fear. Their second disallowed goal was definitely on but God bless the linesman. Get that man a Christmas present. He was spot ion with the first one though. Onwards and upwards let's hope but we must be beware of Oxford. They will be a low block and we're not that great against a low block. Not an easy game but we have the children playing so we're not playing with much fear. Nasty one for Celar, stretched for the ball and caught his studs all at the same moment. Feel for him but confident that Kolli's roaming forward role and perhaps more Lloyd time that we're not in a bad place now.
