Rotherham fckin United
at 19:15 17 Feb 2024

It is completely stooopid of me to notice that next week we play Rotherham, who haven't won a game since Noah grounded the ark and let the animals roam free, and Millwall are up against high flying Southampton. Yes. Its stoopid of me to think positive thoughts at all!

Walk on ... there is nothing to see here!

Dykes - Playing Deeper
at 21:31 21 Jan 2024

Dykes was playing a lot deeper yesterday and he looked a lot better for it. With Sinclair up top, he was playing very deep, picking up the ball and playing it forward. He just looked a way better player.

Dykes is not my favorite player as he hasn't been contributing much as a lone striker. He isn't quick enough, his positioning isn't good enough, and he isn't good enough in the air to be a lone striker. But as the deeper part of an attacking duo, maybe that's his jam. He looked the part against Millwall.

Lets hope so.

Is It Chair or Cha-ear?
at 12:24 14 Jan 2024

Until recently every commentator has pronounced his name Chair, exactly how it is spelt. Just recently, commentators have been pronouncing his name Cha-ear.

So, which is correct? Anyone?

Willock and Chair
at 16:12 2 Dec 2023

Same same but different. They are back to being the wonder couple but, at the same time, it looks like Willock is still a little low on confidence. Hopefully two goals in a week will fix that.

Fckin love when those two play together.

Marti Cifuentes and Gareth Ainsworth
at 22:49 1 Dec 2023

Some things just aint rocket science. We have a team of ball players. Player who like to knock the ball around and build up the pitch.

In his playing days, Aisnworth was a high energy, high speed, non-stop animal. And that is how he wanted his team to play. Smack the ball up field and then go and get it. Run Run Run. But we just didn't have the personnel. I love Gareth. He was a great servant of the club and he meant well. But he didn't have the squad to achieve his vision. Not even close. He couldn't get them to play his game because that wasn't playing to their strengths. And he didn't have the wherewithall to adapt his thinking to the players he had.

Then Marti comes in and says, I want you all to play the type of game that you all want to play anyway. And, guess what, the quality immediately goes up.

I don't blame Ainsworth and I will always love him for his playing days. But he was the wrong man for the job. We haven't achieved sht yet and we are still in the relegation zone. But all signs seem to be that Marti is the right man for the job.

Coventry-My one game of the season-Pub?
at 22:29 29 Sep 2023

So, Coventry is going to be my one game this season. mMe and my son are flying over and will only be in England for one day; just time enough to catch a game, grab some chips and a couple of bags of crisps, and then leave in the evening.

If any regulars are planning to be in a pub before the game and want to meet up, leave a note here of which pub.

2 Losses Already But There Are Positives For All To See
at 17:00 19 Aug 2023

I was pretty low coming into the season. Losing Seny and without any marquee signings, I just couldn't see where the goods were going to come from. But there have been plenty of things to delight in already.

1. Armstrong has looked magnificant. He was already a fan favourite last season for his speed and energy. This season, he has really grown and stepped up.

2. Paul Smyth -- he has looked great as a winger. There is so much fight and purpose in his play this time round.

3. Begovitch has looked more than capable of filling Seny's gloves. His distribution isn't as good but he has great presence in the box and is a good shot stopper.

Add to that Fox and Cook, who both look like good players.

I am beginning to believe. What d'ya think?

And the hope is that the other teams at the top of the Division are also inconsistent, so we are still just one win away from topping the table

How Did We Manage To Not Get A Striker?
at 00:50 2 Sep 2022

We have heaps of midfielders and we brought in another one at the end of the transfer window. Meanwhile, we have nobody up top who can score.

Dykes, Bonne, Roberts, and Armstrong.

Admittedly, Armstrong has looked exciting in his sub appearances. But the Gaffer doesn't trust him to start. Meanwhile, Dykes huffs and puff, but he isn't actually adding to the scoreline, which is what a striker is there to do. Nobody seems to trust Bonne and Roberts hasn't played much.

We've scored 12 goals this season, 2 from strikers -- one each for Dykes and Roberts. That is pathetic. Laird has as many goals as Dykes this season Actually, so has Seny FFS!

You cannot have consistency when you are expecting goals from midfield and defense every week. Midfielders are supposed to contribute to the goalscoring, not be the only ones on the scoresheet.

Maybe Dykes will come good. But why would anyone believe that? Considering that with the exception of a short spurt last season he hasn't done anything for us. He's scored about once every 4 games throughout his QPR career. Not exactly setting the house on fire, is it.

We are scoring goals for fun right now thanks to Chair and Willock, but its putting too much pressure on those two to do everything. We need someone in front of them who can pitch in too

Watford's Entire Strategy Was Fouling and Being Offside
at 17:19 27 Aug 2022

Watford have a lot of quality in their side. Pedro alone is rumored to be heading to Manure for 35 Million. I was surprised how devoid of ideas they seemed to be. They spent the whole game with players offside on every attacking play. It seemed to be a strategy rather than a series of mistakes -- have players in offside positions to distract the defense and then have players push past them, leaving the defenders in no-man's land. It came back to bite them with the disallowed goal.

As for the fouling, it is fcking basic that you cannot hold players , use your arms to push them over, or block them. It was constant and the referee really bottled some obvious decision.

Bloody good result in the end though.

COME ON URRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRsssss!!!!!!

Willock: Deserve ALL the acolades, but what is next?
at 14:32 5 Feb 2022

We have really watched Willock come into his own since Chair went on international duty. He was good previously and contributed, but since Chair went off and all the responsibility fell to him, he has grown, emerged, matured, and just been dominant. We have all seen it and its been bloody marvelous. He is a player transformed.

So, what will happen with Chair coming back into the side. Chair has also been absolutely massive for us this year. Can our style accommodate two dominant midfielders? They play similar roles; would it be another Gerrard and Lampard, so to speak? Or would we just become absolutely dominant and start scoring like Foolham?

Fake Rs Out of Cup!

Just humming a little song that goes "Reading got knocked out of the cup by Kidderminster Harriers - the lowest-ranked side left in the FA Cup... la la la la la"

And if anyone is in the mood to brood over out unconvincing performance, just remember, it aint that long ago since we were losing to clubs like that in cup competitions. Winning by the skin of our teeth is soooo much better than, well Vauxhall ... need I say more?

Playing The Beautiful Game
at 06:04 25 Nov 2021

When this team is clicking, we are playing such a graceful game at the moment. We have so many classy players. It definitely feels like a moment to me. Seny, Jojo, Chair, Wallace, Willock, Dickie ... all players who play with style and class.

Of course, being a long-time fan of QPR, I worry that all these players will get bought during the next window. Its just inevitable. But while they are here it sure is fun watching them stroke the ball around the field with (at times) such precision and style.

Brilliant!

Most Important/Influential Player
at 14:00 3 Oct 2021

So, who is the most influential player on the team. There is a case to be made for a number of players:

Dieng: He has been brilliant this year. His presence in the box is immense, he saves us once a game, his distribution is great. Yes, he made one bad mistake, proving he is human, but he may be the best goalie so nice ... well we've had a few good ones but certainly for a while. When he hurt his shoulder I definitely had a pit in my stomach of, without him we're fckd.

Chair: Brilliant play recently. Really playing to his potential and dominating games. Scare defenders shttless with his runs, creates chances all over the pitch, free kicks, corners. Scores great goals. Just a joy to watch.

JoJo: He definitely ties everything together. He was a little off the ball yesterday and he still made some gorgeous passes. Among all the defensive and linking-up play he contributes, he also just somehow has a way of seeing the play from a slightly different direction and making something out of nothing.

Dickie: Massive presence in our box. He always seems to be in the right place to head out the incoming ball or block the pass/shot. He has put in some miracle tackles already this season. Plus the way he strides forward with the ball ... just brilliant. Oh yeah, and he is still our leading goal scorer!!

There are a couple of other players who someone could make the case for too. So who do you think is our most influential player this season (so far)?

With an international break coming, we need something fun to think about, innit.

Chair

Why did Chair look so subdued today? He seemed half-hearted in his goal celebrations and after the final whistle he seemed downright despondent.

Was he just exhausted after running his heart out in the wind and rain? Was I just imagining it? Thoughts?

Luke Amos Comeback
at 14:56 18 Sep 2021

So Luke Amos has caught his way back from his horrendous knee injury. He played 90 minutes for the B team and sat on the bench v Bournemouth. Apparently, his first game back will be the Everton cup tie. Good for him. I always liked him as a player. The thing is, with the team we currently have, I just dont see a spot for him. I mean, obviously it’s a long season and he will get games. But in terms of a permanent place on the side, he is not gonna replace JoJo or Chair in midfield or William in attacking midfield and he isn’t a natural striker. He isn’t really a wing-back although he could do a job out on the wing if needed. I kinda feel bad for him; to work so hard to get back into the squad and not to have a place to play.
