Thread | Seeing Two Different Approaches Home & Away ( I Like it)
at 13:51 22 Dec 2024
Well done Marti and the coaching team, utilising two different approaches to home and away games. At home we are now more expansive and front footed especially in the midfield, like the way Morgan is being used, away from home solid defensively and looking to counter attack. Hopefully the loss of Cook won't disturb the balance too much, but we have really turned a corner after coming back from the international break and what is most pleasing is getting our home form going. |

Thread | Lloyd - Lone Striker Role
at 14:32 14 Dec 2024
Like him in this role, strong and attacking, causes defenders problems, we looked a lot more dangerous 2nd half with Alfie up front. |

Thread | Saito - Can We Sign Him Permanently?
at 13:45 28 Nov 2024
Really like how Saito gives his all and a very good footballer who is getting better game by game. I like the spirit of how he plays and drives the team forward and takes players on. Hope we have the option to sign him permanently if we stay up. [Post edited 28 Nov 13:46]

Thread | Jordan Rhodes - Blackpool
at 16:01 16 Nov 2024
Just watching Blackpool v Northampton on Sky + and seeing even at 34, Jordan Rhodes still got pace, lays ball on well and proper centre forward. Blackpool signed him on a free from Huddersfield after being on loan, scored 15 for Blackpool last season, why can't we really be looking at experienced pros like this, also Northampton have Martin Waghorn on the bench again a decent striker at Championship level only signed for them a couple of weeks back after being released by Derby end of last season. |

Thread | It's All Been Downhill Since Warburton Left
at 10:57 9 Nov 2024
I know I will get pelters, but for me I really enjoyed the 3 years Mark Warburton was in charge with John Eustace. We actually looked like a decent competitive Championship side. I know it's all history and plan b stuff but it has gone downhill big time since 2021/22 season and this season could well be the final nail in our Championship coffin. [Post edited 9 Nov 10:57]

Thread | Writing Is On The Wall
at 08:21 6 Nov 2024
There is no redemption from the performance last night, a team without fight and basically outplayed has very little chance of surviving in this league. This season probably time has run out and League 1 beckons. |

Thread | Solid Midfield
at 06:47 3 Nov 2024
First time at home yesterday I felt we had a solid midfield formation, by that I mean the opposition were not streaming through the centre of the pitch, which usually has been the case this season. Thought that Varane, Morgan and Madsen filled the usual void we have very well. Preferred Field at centre back as well think that might be a better role for him in this team. Morgan also looks like a bit of a gem that has been discovered as well. Proof in the pudding is can they push on and keep improving and get that elusive first home win on Tuesday. |

Is he just a dud or not interested, Lloyd looked much more up for it when he came on. |

Thread | It's all a bit meh isn't it?
at 09:06 20 Oct 2024
This is the way I've felt since the first game against West Brom and other than the 2nd half at Luton, the feeling has not changed. When I was at Derby two weeks ago felt this lot look a right mess and yesterday's performance did nothing to convince me otherwise. |

Thread | Alfie Lloyd - Not Used Again Why?
at 07:50 6 Oct 2024
Think Lloyd has been a bit of a find this season yet for last 2 games been left on the bench. He is big, strong with pace the sort of player suited to Championship football yet Marti keeps leaving him out, not even been off the bench last 2 games. I would have him up front playing off Frey as Celar is far too lightweight and non existent at this level so far. |

Thread | QPR v Crystal Palace - Major Cup H2H
at 14:18 16 Sep 2024
QPR and Crystal Palace have played each other 7 times in the FA Cup (including replays) and once in the League Cup and Palace have never beaten the Rangers. Palace's only cup win was in 1991 in the Zenith Data Cup thingy. I remember being at the game the last time we played them in the 1982 FA Cup in the 1- 0 quarter final win at Loftus Road - COYRssss |

Thread | Contain Luton's Alfie Doughty
at 16:32 28 Aug 2024
On Friday Rangers have got to try and stop Alfie Doughty from getting on the ball and crossing as much as possible, thought he was Luton's most dangerous player and a lot goes through him, given far too much time to dictate play, especially down the wings. |

Have a bit of a laugh for a while with a Luton boy I know about the away toilets at Kenilworth Road after last visit couple of season ago, not expecting any improvement. Although I do fancy us for a Friday night win - COYRss. |

Thread | We Go All Passive
at 11:16 14 Aug 2024
Andersen said it on Saturday after WBA defeat we fall away and go all passive, seems to happen after we score. Last night was noticeable went ahead and sort of lost momentum and Cambridge sensed it and upped their game. Marti needs to sort this out and get them focused, otherwise we will be in for a few shockers. Thought too many strolling around again last night other than Smyth, Frey and Andersen. Dixon-Bonnar missed a couple of sitters and his frustration was visible, rather than getting stuck in. The modern footballer is a strange beast far too sensitive in my opinion, hence going passive. |

Thread | Football Rituals (Could It Be Coming Home)
at 07:43 12 Jul 2024
Us football fans can have some funny rituals and superstitions to follow our beloved game and team. With England getting to the Euro 2024 final my two major changes/rituals are back in February booked a short break to Snowdonia for Sunday 14 July forgot it was Euros and then ping checked that final was on 14 July and said to Mrs, can't watch final in a pub in Wales especially if England get into final so got the hotel booking moved on 2 weeks. The other ritual is during tournaments I put an England flag flying from the front of the house, this time we decided to fly it from the back of the house, dare not change this as do not want to jinx our chance to win the final. |
