QPR v Hove Albion FC Match Thread 18:44 - Apr 6 with 16377 views

Last time I remember playing Brighton on a Friday night in April was back in 1973, and as a seven year old thrilled that Rangers had just gained promotion to the First Division with the likes of Parkes, Clement, Gillard, Mancini, McLintock, Venables, Francis, Thomas, Givens, Bowles and Leach as regulars and Gordon Jago as manager. And who would have thought that with the addition of just three more players this was the team that took the rest of the first division to the cleaners just three years later. Would never happen now, any team getting promoted will always sign a good half a dozen players in an attempt to just survive. Just for the record Rangers won that night 2-0 and Brighton were relegated. Repeat score for me tomorrow, and similarly after this game one team at least will leave the division.

Personally I would love to see Ravel have a great game and shut the doubters up.

Realists rather than doubters.

Ravel Watch. Some lovely technique with some of his passing. But in general, for that kind of player in that kind of role you want some one to be more positive in his passing, to be looking to make things happen. He's too ready to play it backwards so far.

Without being at the game it's tough to know what he's doing off the ball, but overall I've been happy with performance, kept the ball moving quickly, always looking for the ball.
I think he's looked for a forwards pass and when it's been on tried it.
Clearly wants to do fast pass and move, could do with a routledge type player next to him.

No worse then Luongo so far. I've seen 5 year olds with better shooting accuracy then the latter.

"Brighton need to just up the tempo by 2% and they can get through this QPR defence, they're not that strong".

What a really strange comment from Warren Aspinall. I'd love to see his calculations to see how he came up with 2%.

Ravel's not done much wrong that I've seen so far.

I've not been specifically looking out for him making mistakes though tbf

F**k him. Warren Tw@tspinall more like.

Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. He runs like a cheetah, his crosses couldn't be sweeter. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore.

Call yourself a QPR fan?

It will be interesting to see what changes are made this half.

You'd be forgiven for not knowing Ravel is there. Brighton's full-backs are yet to notice him.

Luongo is our Ravell. Take the other Ravell off and get Yeni on.

Wait.

Manning, unnecessary back pass after Morrison had actually got us up the park and the defence had a brain fart. Lynch f*cking stepping up an hour too late.

Not much better from Lynch, trying to play off side rather than get across to cover. Complete shambles.

onuoha and luongo...what a hilarious piece of defending...absolute shambles.
well that was coming... two offside goals so the onside goal was just a question of time.
