Kicking towards the Loft first half. 17:38 - Dec 8 with 2812 viewsthehat


I think we won the toss and chose to kick towards the Loft first half.

Maybe with our poor home form and the first goal being so important in The Championship it was a shrewd tactical move.

It certainly worked and I quite enjoyed every tackle and header being cheered second half too.

Actually made a nice change and I wonder if it’s a tactic we will continue.

That's two home games running now I think?

Not a fan, but if it keeps getting results, I'm sure I'll get used to it

Don't think it really matters what end we attack first half. The loft, isn't the loft it used to be. Making the lower loft a family stand was one of the biggest mistakes QPR ever made, in my opinion.

it also gives the singers in the corner of ellerslie road stand, x and y blocks, and the the lot up in south africa road, who also get behind the team, a chance to see them attacking the goal second half.....i love it when we kick towards the away end second half, but thats my selfish and y block view......we can't all be pleased.

Poll: how many games this season....home/away.

I would like to think it was to take advantage of the favourable wind in the 1st half. Also glad Nardi didn't have the away fans behind him 2nd half as he'd truly wound them up before halftime.

The last two home matches were played in high winds, so I guessed we wanted to take advantage of the wind behind us to get ahead of the game.

only half the lower loft is a family stand, you have your safe standing area now as well

I'm fairly sure that we kicked off against Stoke, which would mean Stoke won the toss & chose to change ends. As we seem (to me at least) to score more goals in the first half of matches, we would see more Rangers goals at the Loft End.

Not that I think it makes any difference to the result of a game which direction you play first!

Not to be contrary, but there have been many times that a combination of the Loft, East Paddock and East Ellerslie have pretty much sucked the ball into the net into the net. On occasion for the Rs.

I like the unsafe standing area: supporters have to balance on a plank over a pit full of starving wombats, raised on human flesh, pumped up on steroids and Rammstein videos. It's not too bad until we score, then the combination of enraged marsupials and Pigbag makes life pretty short and interesting.

'What do we want? We don't know! When do we want it? Now!'

That’s what I said Terry.We seem to run out of ideas or stamina in the 2nd half of home games this season,so we should play towards the loft and try and score a couple of goals in the 1st half of games.It certainly worked yesterday,although Norwich weren’t all that great,which helped.

I think it was weather related. Play with the wind first half which seemed to be blowing diagonally toward the loft. Keep them hemmed in a bit and press them and it worked a treat.

Defo wind related. I booed the decision as I'm a traditionalist but was pointed out to me by the gents in front. Great decision!
