Thought they had too much pressure but we held on. |
At the end of the day, we should just Celebrate the Bullet header from Albert that won it. |  | | |

I really want to see Field acknowledged for a great performance. Too many don't see what he brings to this team. I'd go as far to say we'd not have won without him today.
Clive, give him MotM. |
I don't get it either. The amazing form that QPR enjoyed in the second half of last season was in large part down to the Johansen-Field partnership. Field is sharp in the tackle, very capable in possession and adds height defensively. It's no coincidence that QPR's recent form has coincided with his return from long-term injury. Very underrated by those who don't really understand football and just want to watch number 10s performing nutmegs. |  | | |

No of course, and wasn't trying to imply he was.
But Gray is looking quite clinical - I saw his minutes per goal stat the other day (my befuddled mind now can't quote you it accurately) and it was by some distance the best at the club.
Nothing is set in stone as its all about the squad but for me at the moment he is well ahead of Dykes - who I can't remember doing anything all match? |
Dykes - who I can't remember doing anything all match
Dykes keeps defenders occupied, leaving space for his team mates to exploit. Same as Charlie when he came on. Albert was able to steal in and score because the defenders were probably more anticipating Charlie getting a header in.
Edit: Just checked the highlights - Charlie was occupying two CBs, leaving Adomah to be marked only by Bidwell. [Post edited 22 Jan 2022 19:23]

Not for me. A toss up between Field and Willock with Dickie deserving an honourable mention. Uncle had his moments but Field and Willock were consistently good throughout, all with Stefan missing. [Post edited 22 Jan 2022 18:58]

I would say a man on the match should be someone who ultimately affects the result, not "solid game put in lots of effort". If you picked out the highlights of that, would Field and Dickie even be in it? I can understand the case for Willock, but without Albert at both ends, do we win?
If Dickie had made the block Albert did, people would be pissing themselves about it [Post edited 22 Jan 2022 19:18]

A starting striker has to do more than just occupy defenders IMO . |  | | |

Fair enough I didnt look it up but he had other qualities other than occupying defenders . | | | |

Albert was decent but he did make some mistakes. For example, there was one occasion where he just needed to clear his lines but got caught in possession and Coventry came close to scoring. In addition, he didn't get forward as much as previous games (kudos to Coventry for pinning our wing-backs with the high press).
Fields tenacity, drive and control (despite being outnumbered in midfield) certainly did affect the result. As the stats show he won possession back more times in this match than anyone else this season. Marshall's numerous saves certainly did affect the result. Dickie's last ditch interventions certainly did affect the result (there were 2 in particular that prevented certain goals). You need to see past nutmegs and goals to understand how a result is affected. | | | |

I must say I thought that both Dykes and Gray were poor, albeit the latter scored. Nothing stuck, though to be fair they were a tad isolated. [Post edited 22 Jan 2022 20:05]

Should we start growing concerned for Mr Frank's sanity? He keeps losing - despite apparently "thrashing" other teams. And you could see the likes of Newcastle, Leeds and Everton all improving. |
Everton are rubbish and their fans wan**rs IMO .After todays antics I hope they are in the relegation fight until the last day .Leeds are missing Bamford badly and he is not close to coming back yet.
Newcastle will be in the relegation zone all year I suspect .
We would beat all 3 when we are on form and our team wont turn on each other |  | | |

Nothing stuck because both have a poor first touch. Dunne, Willock and Field our best performers, Dickie and Marshall not far behind. Thomas had a positive impact when he came on. Plenty of running and closing down and a few good runs into the box.
We are winning games on the back of great resilience and a touch of quality, typically from Willock.
We could do with more from the strikers, but we are fortunate to have goal scorers all over the pitch.
A big win, need to keep pushing hard…..it is now in our hands. | | | |

What claptrap! Allen was a top player, with a phenomenal scoring record at Spurs, QPR (twice) and 1 in 2 for Chelsea and West Ham even into his 30s. At his peak, if he were playing today, he'd be easily comparable to the likes of Harry Kane (Allen was a better player in my opinion) and would cost a sodding fortune. |
Plus one. |  |
| It's being so happy that keeps me going. |

None of our three regular strikers are perfect, far from it. But they all offer something. Dykes: workrate, Gray: speed, Charlie: guile. In combination they keep oppo defences honest, and they make space for our more skillful players. I actually prefer that to over-reliance on a single 15—20 goal-a-season target man. | | | |

Adomah scored a goal. That's the most important stat there is. And did you not see his goalline block?
That's two goals down to him, hardly "you need to see past the nutmegs" or whatever that last line was about.
Could you imagine a Kakay or Moses or Wallace making that run into the box from wingback? Could you imagine anyone else being as integral to an attack as he was when scoring, while also getting back and being the last line of defence? You do him a massive disservice - see past the nutmegs indeed.
Despite Field's "tenacity, drive and control", Coventry had 59 per cent of possession and 21 of 29 shots in the match, which would generally suggest we didn't have much control of the game at all.
That's not to say Field didn't have a good game, but without Adomah, we don't win and would probably be lucky to draw. [Post edited 22 Jan 2022 21:58]

I agree with you regarding Admoah but a word about Wallace. His contribution to our attack is huge and his interplay with Willock and Chair a feature of our play. His crossing is excellent and he regularly gets into the box. He should have scored today from a great position he'd moved into. |  | | |

I think Wallace is excellent, I didn't want to put anyone else down, I was just a bit wound up by writing off Adomah's contribution as "nutmegs". | | | |

I wasn't there unfortunately, but adomah as wing back has been a revelation. | | | |

Totally agree with you - he has effectively been two players on the pitch, a right winger and a defender. One of the major reasons in our transformation imho | | | |
