After the inevitable Wall defeat I thought why not? Given I'm virtually on the beach like the players are.
1-1.
Fairytale farewell goal for Cookie (overhead kick natch).
Dr. Vipotnik for them (inevitably). |  |

If as i have seen written on here, the club are using these games to give experience to those that dont get experience enough.
Nil Five today
Nil Six on Saturday and
Seven Nil at Ipswich
i will be seriously peed off if we have half the youth team in the squad like its Carabao Cup time.
Sometimes the football club needs to realise the whole point of a football club is entertaining the fans in the best possible way.
Everything else is secondary. [Post edited 21 Apr 12:03]

For me, the target has to be 60+ points. Tonight offers us the best opportunity to do that. I don't mind 1 of the youngsters getting some game time, not 3 or 4, but I don't want us to gung ho.
I suspect we will take it seriously with a starring XI similar to Saturday's 2nd half. And a narrow win to follow, please. |  |

I predict that Chair and Madsen will tease defenders with a bout of inter-passing and keepy-ups, then Chair will nutmeg ( insert Allen sub), cut in and send a scorching drive to the top right corner. I feel I've seen this before somewhere? |  | | |

Having watched and endured recent mind-numbing performances, all the way through to the final whistles, I'm reminded of a quote from a novel by the French philosopher Jean Paul Sartre: "L'ennui, c'est ca". It reflects a moment of philosophical realisation regarding boredom and existence. Yet, we keep coming back for more.
This match against Swansea has all the ingredients to be a repeat of the recent Bristol City endurance test. Neither team has any motivating reason to deliver a result, both having secured their tickets to return next season. As such, I predict we won't see any meaningful tackles. The pace of play will inevitably become pedestrian, with defenders on both sides showcasing their ability to pass the ball from one side of the pitch to the other, untroubled by a high press from the opposition.
0-0, or perhaps 0-1, with neither team really caring one way or the other. I wonder whether the stadium announcer will risk playing something different when the teams walk out onto the pitch this evening?
Perhaps:
Stuck in the middle with you?
We're on the road to nowhere?

Vipotnik will score unfortunately. To think Swansea signed him on a free from Bordeaux around the same time QPR bought his Slovenian counterpart,Celar for around £2m. |  | | |

Tube strike has done me unfortunately. 1-1 Cooke to get the equaliser before he gets subbed for a farewell. Hope he is on the pitch at the end on Saturday as would like to be there to give him a well deserved clap. Hope it’s a decent game for those attending. | | | |

If only we had someone who professed to know a lot about French football running our club and ruling the roost over transfer signings…  |  | | |

It could go either way. Depends if we are up for it or not?
It is QPR so I can see us getting turned over by Swansea and Derby at home and then giving Ipswich a hammering at their place (out of nowhere) on the final day. |  |

I'd stay quiet about this, if true. Too painful to absorb.

Think we are owed a performance after the last two games.
Entertain us FFS.

Wonder if Tylon Smith will get minutes until the end of the season now, starting with the moment he replaces Cook for his well earned ovation. No point in rushing Dunne back, he's played enough football. Get on holiday. JCS cannot be relied up to be available. So lets see what he's like | |

I wonder how Kolli and Burrell will work out, that could be an interesting combination.
Vale and Adamson starting on the right isn’t very smart mind you, if that’s how they line up. |  |
| Those possessed by devils, try and keep them under control a bit, can't you ?
