It's really all about the first half of the season. Just two home wins, e.g. against Plymouth and Hull would have us just two points off the play offs. You're bound to have the odd off day but we can't now without missing our chance for the play offs because we started so poorly but I agree I would've taken mid table after last season!

I thought we were a bit flat, particularly those players who it's no coincidence usually play well when we play well like Chair and Dunne. I was a bit annoyed with Chair for berating Saito for not passing to him in the first half: pot/kettle really. They were very physical and targeted certain players: Dunne was taken out late a couple of times and so was Saito. The ref could've given a couple of cards earlier I thought. Not sure whether the elbow on Saito was deliberate but he certainly looked very shaken up. We certainly got sucked into hoofing it into the air, which is not our game but they love.
I think it was a combination of that and a couple of individual errors/mishaps. The Cook uncharacteristic underhit pass/Dunne not moving towards the ball/Paal allowing Ritchie to get away from him for the second; the potential foul on Varane in the build up to the first and the Dunne slip.
I think we can manage when a couple aren't firing but not more than that and Dunne, Cook, Chair, Varane and Frey didn't have their best games.
It's a conundrum for Marti because Chair is our most creative player and arguably best down the middle but we badly missed Morgan's better ability to link defence and attack and his tendency to show for the ball when needed. Frey was terribly isolated in the first half and you could see his frustration. |

Yes. It says in the article that the retailer gets £26.40 per shirt, which means we'd get that if you buy direct from the club. Our shirts are a bit cheaper but it would be a decent chunk anyway. |

I don't really get this purist thing either. Why aren't we allowed to enjoy cameos of players we could never afford? Why should Sheff Utd have Brereton Dias ( 2 goals and an assist in 6 on loan) or Harry Souttar 13 clean sheets on loan but we're not allowed cos it doesn't count if they won't play for us next season.
I still remember the excitement of watching Mark Kennedy play for us when I've forgotten tons of other QPR permanent players. I bet I'll remember Yang too.
And if the owners who are regularly spunking millions on us every year defray a bit of that because some tourists from the far East buy a novelty clock in the club shop in memory of their favourite player then I don't begrudge them. Why not spread a bit of joy to folks like that very nice South Korean guy I met at Coventry who is delighted at following the Rs atm? |

I want a stewards inquiry. I am always bloody on here, apart from during our annual relegation flirtation and I'm not on 6k yet. |

That explains it. I was thinking it's usually the law that managers get sacked just before or after playing us . This sort of counts. |

Thanks Myke. I'm not alone in fairness. Brian has to be the nicest person in Ireland let alone this forum! Then there's Dorse, Konk, Clive (despite extreme provocation) and a host of others who can be passionate without it crossing a line.
The best posters see the funny side as well as being knowledgeable. |

Viktor Johansson, Stoke GK. He's saved around 15 shots more than expected - way ahead of anyone else.
Tandanga so good for Millwall.
Chakvetadze very good too. |

Please can we not infect Every. Other. Thread.
Any other club executives on here: don't touch him with a bargepole. He's crap.

Exactly. Electric in the ground. Nice for us to enjoy that kind of entertainment sometimes.
We also gave a rest to the overworked Smyth, won a few extra fans, filled the ground and enhanced our credentials as a club you want to send your best young players on loan to.
All things that are positive in my view; even the parachute clubs rely on loans, no reason why we should be above that. |

Yeah Frey worked his nuts off and has to play permanently in Sumo stance as he always has a defender hanging off him. |

That'd why Marti is a good manager and you...aren't. Part of getting a good position in the league is squad spirit. Players see how he treats everyone, not just those playing well currently. Sure he can be ruthless if you're not at the level but he always gives people chances to improve things, hence our fantastic team spirit. |
