3-5-2… JCS in the middle with Field on the left and Dunne on the right. Smyth as RWB and Saito as LWB. Chair up top with Frey. Whatever we have left in midfield.
…there you go. 3 points sorted. |

This next two months will be interesting. I guess the intention was always that Morrison takes over from Cook from next season or soon after. This will be a good test. |

It would be Micky Beale levels of weaseling for Marti to leave now (if offered a job there) after the support shown by the fans. |

Millwall deemed Eze not good enough. So I’m Not sure it’s a premier league / championship thing.
In the case of Morgan, it’s probably a case of he’s not oven ready for a top six push in the prem. |

Cook was on crutches leaving the stadium earlier. Didn’t look too happy at all. Could be a lengthy lay-off.
Thankfully we have some players returning and Morrison’s emergence… not great by any stretch of the imagination, but could have been catastrophic a month ago!!!
…does that leave us with three left footed CB’s + Dunne? |

Thought Frey’s movement to create the space for Field was equally brilliant. |

Reply | Where are the "Nourry out" comments now ???
at 23:04 21 Dec 2024
It’s soooooo much more complicated than a few wins.
Nourry clearly has some ability - in terms of intellect, nurture and contacts. He’s not stupid. He’s started his role as CEO and DOF aggressively making some quite sweeping decisions. Many but not all of the decisions he’s made have been sensible - a number of them have been reckless and immature.
Communication being one - a young guy who sees the world in black and white / binary - in his mind, why should he communicate with the supporters - I am speculating, but do we think this extended to comms with key stakeholders in the club?
It’s clear that someone more senior put an arm around his shoulder and gently suggested that he needs to practice the grey / non-binary side of leadership to underscore the undoubted brilliance that he has.
I hope this has been a quick learning kerb for him and that he embraces mixing science with art in his leadership style - Let’s see, but let’s not ignore the fact that during his learning-kerb he is fortunate to have a head coach as capable as Marti and a fan base as supportive of Marti. It could have gone a whole load worse in other circumstances. [Post edited 22 Dec 7:36]

Just need one more year out of cook to allow us to bed in a replacement, which we seem to have found! |

He’s a steady left back. Jake Bidwell type. We’ve missed not having him available. |

Agreed… it’ll allow time for us to settle in a new centre back pairing with Cook as the steadying factor during the transition. |

As players are added back in after injury, combined with the fast wake-up call for the newbies; we could be looking far more positively towards mid table mediocrity by January.
Great that we now have something to look forward to with the return of our core players (thanks to the announcement from the club)! |

I was sat with three neutrals and four watford fans in a hospitality box near the rookery stand.
- the neutrals and Watford fans felt QPR should have won and have some really good technical players
- they and the Watford supporters nearby liked the look of Saito.
- they were equally confused about the approach of having your tallest player take corners.
My observations from the far side;
- it seemed a strange decision to start Paal and then inevitably have to take him off on 60 mins when he tired for Fox… This coincided with Baah coming on for them and he tore Fox a new one. Personally, I would have put Ashby at left back to try to keep pace with Baah.
- the QPR fans didn’t stop singing - really impressive and came across loud and clear (duly noted by the neutrals).
My other observation is that looking at the quality of hospitality at Vicarage Road in what is essentially a similar size stadium with similar constraints; there is very little reason that QPR can’t replicate as Michael Drain and calfordseaden have identified. [Post edited 30 Nov 16:56]

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I bet we’ve spent more on strikers (Dykes, Bonne, Frey, Celar, Etc), than the £5m we would have needed to have kept Wells here four years ago… and collectively they have probably scored less over that time combined than he has at Brizzle. |

Yes - that goes without saying, but I’m not for bashing them for eventually doing the sensible thing. |
