My first one.
Does anyone want to hazard a guess as to what team is "turning up" tomorrow (because I haven't got a flipping clue after Wednesday's performance)?
I'll throw caution to the wind and say: QPR 4 - 0 Rotherham. [Post edited 21 Aug 2015 17:03]

I wonder if any of those who went to the game will mention any comparison to our Championship winning season. It just feels similar in some way. For Taarabt see Chery. ...Faurlin returning to pull the strings.??
I'm not saying we're going to be Champions again it's just that Maybe we're like a proper football club again for the first time since that season. [Post edited 22 Aug 2015 17:19]

Must be close to conceding the most too.
It's gonna be a long and bumpy ride. |  | | |

Yep, they sure did. |  | | |

If this is what Ramsey is all about sign me up. First goal brilliant team goal. Really great football. Otherwise we try and play football, lots of one touch stuff, most came off. We have a soft centre sure, but up front we look really dangerous. Enjoyable day out! |  |

It's a very different side than Warnock's Championship side, no stand out performer although Chery looks like he might be our creative spark from midfield.
A dose of realism though - I'll be surprised if a worse team than Rotherham visits HQ this season and they still managed to score two against us. We dominated for long periods without really getting out of second gear, although granted the heat probably contributed to this. I think Ramsey hasn't quite got the hang of when to make changes - Ale and one or two others were flagging at 60 mins yet Ramsey waited another 10 mins or so before bringing Doughty on, at which point Ale had twice slipped in possession and gifted them a goal.
I know neither of them are flavour of the month but I thought Konchesky and Perch did well today, especially Konchesky who linked well with the midfield and attack. Hall also impressed me, read the game very well and looks like he could form a good partnership with chief.
As for Philips and Austin, I thought they both played well within themselves. Phillips in particular bottled at least two challenges and his delivery at times was poor. Both have their heads in the Premiership even if we want them to stay.
Great afternoon, though, and a fitting tribute to our greatest ever No. 10. | | | |

I agree; not the same as Warnock's team — not as dominant in midfield, crucially — when we had Faurlin five years younger and without three cruciate injuries one after the other, and Derry who was twice as secure as Henry. Also, Helguson was much better in the lone striker role — though Austin is plainly the better player — because he pretty much only looked to bring other players in, whereas Austin is usually looking to shape a chance for himself.
Enjoyed the game, lots of positives (and Perch, I thought, was very good coming forward today). Chery looks like potentially our best midfield signing in years and years.
But the fact that we've conceded two in every game so far is a real worry — we won't keep winning games if we do that. And this was against a really very poor team.
Oh, and Steve Evans is so fat his arse blotted out the entire goal for those of us in the West Paddock near the dugout. | | | |

Just back.
We played well in stages. There is a nice understanding developing between Chery, Luongo and Phillips.
First two goals were down to those players really.
Ale didn't have his best game and came off on 75. Fans were right behind him though which is good to see. Henry works hard but he is back to dithering on the ball again.
Its weird really as Charlie has not performed anywhere near what he is capable of, which is mostly down to fitness, but he has 4 in 4, and should have had another penalty with their player going through the back of him to get to the ball.
We have now shipped 2 goals every game. Cant have that carrying on, and I feel we need another centre half.
Mention to Konchesky as I thought he had a good game today and goy forward a lot in the game.
If Sandro is staying and fit then he is a shoe in for a place in the middle two. Fer the same if he stays.
Was impressed with their striker who took their first goal well.
Good win but we must cut out the sloppy goals. |  |

An enjoyable day out indeed. And more than welcome after the crap we've endured over the 'Arry years | |
