I’ve seen Jim Towers, Brian Bedford, Rodney Marsh and a dozen others miss chances from a couple of yards out and they were all recognised goalscorers. Saito is not. He got there late and missed, so what. |  | |  |

It was a bad miss however you dress it up, and Saito has been one of my favourite players this season so not digging him out, but having watched it back it’s one of those “harder to miss than score” chances. |  |

He did exactly the opposite of bottling the header. He flew himself in there. Bottling it is the one thing you can't accuse Saito of. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Respectfully disagree. I think he hesitates rather than fully commiting. Fraction of a second earlier he hits that the right side of the ball and it's a goal. I know it comes across as a knock on him and god knows sticking your head in there at that height is asking for a kick in the face, I'd not have even tried it myself. Thought he was our best player overall today, I just think he'll be thinking tonight "if I hadn't hesitated a touch that would have been a goal" |  | |  |

As I saw it on QPR+ Saito was the quickest player to react to that opportunity, both ours and their defenders, he moved very quickly to get his head to it first but a defender blocked his header. Don't think we got the corner so maybe it wasn't blocked, but Saito did well just to get there. Our go to offensive player and MOM for me again. |  | |  |
