This is a good thread and there's a lot said above with which I agree. The next three games will tell us a lot more about this season's QPR but I don't think we need fear any team in this league.
I'm expecting to see the return of Saito, Chair, Burrell and Lamptey from injury, plus Cirkin from suspension, over the next four or five games. We may well finally see our strongest starting 11 on the pitch next month, which should give an added boost to our performances.
Tuck looked like a very promising player, then got a bad injury and was out for some time before leaving us. I wonder if that injury continues to affect him.
It's difficult to see how you counter him. It's damned if you press him and damned if you don't. He'll probably make a mistake or two when being aggressively pressed, but apart from that, he's got all the cards.
Are there other keepers who play like Charles - accurate short and long passing using both feet, drawing players onto himself and almost goading them to try it? I don't think so. I wouldn't be surprised to see other keepers trying to copy him and it would be interesting to see if many/any could do so.
That's a good observation, Steve. Smyth played well last night, as he has done all season, but the one thing that lets him down time and again is his final ball/cross. The best crosses last night came from Kolli, who I'd like to see go wide to deliver a ball more often.
A word of praise for Stephan and his coaches. The organisation and tactics this season are on a different level. We are controlling large periods of games now not only because we have some better players but also because the team is really well drilled. And, I suspect Bould's changed role has contributed to how well our defence is playing too.
I'm a little concerned that Kamara collected his 4th yellow last night, so that's him and JCS one card away from a suspension. Not a disaster if either miss a game but they're both very influential players.
Indeed. I expected him to be off in the summer and I think there was some overseas interest in him. And nothing in what I've seen of him this season suggests he's improved.
The Uprising is a portrayal of the 1381 so called 'Peasants Revolt'. As it's a historical event I know well, I was keen to see the film, but knew there were some wild inaccuracies in it. It does pretty well up until the meeting between the rebels and King Richard II at Smithfield. Sadly, it then descends into complete nonsense.
That said, I actually quite enjoyed it and liked how 14th century London looked. Wat Tyler and John Bell, the 'heroes' of the rebellion, are played well enough, although Jack Straw (not the politician) is missed out, and Richard II is good too.
It's a shame it followed most other films set in medieval times in depicting ordinary people as dirty and unkempt. That's another historical inaccuracy and a rather Monty Python-ish idea of those times.
