Reply | Paul Smyth's long throw...
at 11:10 11 Feb 2025
As a long throw it doesn't really work. What it does do though is give us an attacking 'set piece'. So the opposition have to come back, fill their box and defend it. It's useful for getting us up the pitch and causing some issues |

Think the Sincs deal was good for everyone really.
We got somer cash and they got a player with bags of potential but with a lot of work to do.
I don't think he is a central striker (yet). For me he is a wide forward using his frightening physicality to cause mayhem and leaving the finishing to the deadlier players.
WOuldn't write him off just yet. Look at how Smyth has improved this season to last |

It was pathetic. I had a few mates who went up there. It's a cup semi final so how can you not! And they got served with that.
Most damning statistic is that they picked up 0 yellow cards. It's a fcking semi final, the midfield should've been like absolute animals out there. They just sort of arrived resigned to a defeat.
Was like watching peak QPR |

I just don't get it.
Park I could understand. Bloke is a Korean legend, had won the lot at Man U, captained the national side, played in a World Cup semi final etc etc.
But Min-Hyeok is just a kid breaking through. Why care so much?
It would be like me going to watch a Deportiva La Coruna game and getting a Charlie Patino shirt whilst filming his every move.
We had a Korean bloke next to us during the match who the season ticket holder obviously sold his seat to online. Bloke sat by himself and couldn't have enjoyed the evening less.
All v odd, but I suppose that's the beauty of different cultures! |

They barely even bother to cover all the Premier League on GFW/Ramble/TFS any more. Just leave games out. If you're a Brighton or Palace fan you never get a mention unless you've played a big boy.
At least there are some podcasts out there now which discuss the EFL in depth with NTTT obviously fantastic.
Usually only bother with Football Cliches which at least gave us a full 20 minutes after Jake Livermore scored against us and didn't celebrate and they couldn't believe he had never played for us |

JCS going to have basically been out the whole season!
Great to have Cook and Morrison back for the weekend. 4 good CB's now in place to choose from.
Would love to see Dembele playing in a confident team |

He's still our top 'assister' with 4 this season, despite missing half the season as well.
Also notable that the upturn in performances (so everything post PNE) has come with him back in the side.
The guy is brilliant, just had a bad game v Hull |

Love the hypothetical!!
I'd love to go up, but wouldn't want the consequences of it!
The idea that you bank the money etc etc is fine until you look at Luton who are involved in another relegation battle this season!
On Luton, everyone talks about their plucky campaign last season... they got 26 points. That's 1 more than when we got relegated in the Hughes/Redknapp season and 4 less than when we went down under Ramsey!!
For the promoted clubs it essentially comes down to your transfer business which itself involves a bit of luck. Ipswich seem to have a gem in Liasm Delap, signed for a chunky fee from a Top 6 Academy. Whilst Cameron Archer is the same profile and is stinking the place out for Southampton! |

Reply | Varane and Kolli Brilliant Goals
at 09:55 14 Jan 2025
Kolli chipping in with 4 goals and a few assists aged 19 is fantastic.
He's not perfect and maybe he won't be good enough, but to have him organically come through our youth system and properly contribute to the first team is a real plus for the club.
I doubt he will stay here for long as he doesn't seem to be first choice and he will want to play |

I don't see the value in Hayden when we have a trio of Varane, Field and Morgan as first choice who are 23, 26 and 18 respectively.
They are backed up by Colback (34) and Madsen (24).
I'd rather keep our powder dry and replace Colback in the summer with someone of a better age profile.
Now we seem to be mid table (fingers crossed), there's probably not as much desire to bring players in.
We would all like a striker, but they are coming in to be back up to Frey and take minutes away from Lloyd and Kolli who we own.
The glaring hole for me is left back as I don't think Larkeche is good enough when he is fit and we know Paal is moving on.
I think it's worth spending money there |

The next 3 (Swans a, Norwich a and Watford h) should really tell us if we are going top be safely ensconced in mind table this season.
All 3 having the sort of season we thought we should be having. If we are picking up 4 points from those games I think it's a great sign for the future |

Goal Line technology has been good, nothing to argue about. Same if we have automated offsides which determine it in 30 seconds.
The rest of it is a joke |

Looks a good, solid defensive midfielder. His passing isn't up to much but then if it was would he be at QPR?
Solid and alongside Field makes us very tough to play against.
What you'd ideally like is Dembele back fit and providing the thrust in the middle (ooo er) from the platform those two can give |

That's a very long winded way of saying JCS, Chair and Frey will be in the squad for the Preston game. Celar is fcked and Dembele is back March.
Colback gone to the glue factory |

I thought Varane suffered for not having Field alongside him Saturday. Felt the game passed Morgan by and when we pressed high up it left Varane with tons of space to cover.
Thought Norwich got runners off him loads in the first half (much better second half).
Morgan has great potential, but realistically it needs to be Field and Varane in there at the base |

Had an incredible 18 months and really we should've sold him summer of 2022 when Beale came in, but Honest Mick demanded we keep all our assets.
Been pony since Beale left and now just loos. a bog standard Championship winger who will give a decent performance every 5 games or so.
Will see out his Cardiff contract and slowly wind down his career bouncing around Champ and League 1.
It's a short career and he's maximising it, but it's a shame considering how good he was |

BlueSky has massively picked up this week. It's not just centrist Dad politicos anymore
The 'starter packs' are great. Perhaps someone could create one for decent QPR content (people like Clive, Finney, Jim Frayling, Dave Mc etc etc).
As I said previously, my Twitter feed is OK. Although looking at the first 10 tweets 2 are adverts for crappy mobile games amongst various football bots and bobs |
