Ok....so we lost our shape a bit when they scored (yet another worldly) but flipping heck we looked impressive and at times irresistible. Cardiff looked a decent side from the start but lacked forward line smarts.
Big shouts out to Tariq, Harvey, Burrell, Alfie, in fact all of them really. Burrell stamina is insane - he was basically doing sprints for 90 minutes. Kamara fab as well.
Decent ref too for once.
This is all rather good. Apart from that dirge masquerading as our new anthem...that needs to stop immediately.
Apologies accepted. That is truly awful. Who came up with that? Edit: just read that it was 2 fans.
As for the game , I agree that the finishing was nowhere near good enough. Vale, Saito and even Burrell missed good chances to put Cardiff out of the game and spare us the last 15 minutes.
As for the 4 substitutions in one go, why? QPR were 2-0 up and fairly comfortable, if they were chasing the game fair enough, but that just disrupted the flow of the game imo. Were Lamptey, Kamara Madsen and Mbengue all in need to go off at the same stage? And I would have preferred Smyth on for Vale to utilise his pace as Cardiff pushed forward in search of a way back in.
I thought Lamptey and Kamara were both having excellent games along with Dunne, Burrell and Edwards. Also impressed with the work rate of Lloyd who never stopped running, but unfortunately he lacks the final ball or shot as well as first touch. I did enjoy his turn on the edge of the box in the first half, pity he couldn’t finish it off with a goal.
Overall , QPR will need to be better against Middlesbrough on Saturday I don’t think that is a game for 4-4-2 with 2 wingers. 4 midfielders maybe (Edwards Madsen Kamara with Chair).

It was said above already but Lamptey, Kamara, and Madsen were all planned to go off as they're managing minutes to keep them fit. Mbengue took a knock just then too which is why he went off as well.
It’s not great. But even if it was quite good, London Calling is one of the most iconic songs ever written so why would anyone decide it needs replacing?
Yeah this 100%. Don't want to be too much of a dick about it, since this is written by fans - but the club have done them no favours here tbh.
Football clubs are all about history, heritage, identity etc. The Clash are intrinsically connected to west london, and, helpfully, London Calling is a tune that absolutely slaps. Why would you jettison that?
Soft, melodic but a bit shouty rock is about as bland and generic as it gets, not a sound I'd assoicate (or want to associate) with our club!
(I'm sure they're lovely chaps, and I'm an old man shouting at clouds etc., and like I say, it's the club at fault here not them)

We must be the only club in the world with a more than a few famous fans in the music industry, Clash, Pistols, The Cure, Doherty etc..
There is no need to go all Welcome to Wrexham with this AI generated slop.
Maybe they rushed it out so there was something else to talk about at the fans forum and they wouldn't have to answer questions about Ben Williams or Kolli all night?
I feel a bit sorry for the lads who put this together with good intentions (and a slice of vanity)...they were standing in front of us on the pitchside with their Dad, all majorly excited. And then it played. And the boos came. And so did their deflation.
As previously said, this can't be played again for us, and for them.

I can never remember which one, but one of The Attractions, as well.
Was it just a daft rumour or did he write the song we ran out to in the 80’s?
“Rangers. Queen’s park Rangers” They named the band The Loftus Roadrunners, IIRC.
I need a SAGA. What’s the SAGA? It’s ….. Queen’s Park Rangers.
Time zone meant I missed the game. Out of interest, Fotmob has the lineup as 442, is that right, or was Burrel playing behind Lloyd in a 4231?
First half looked like a 4-4-2 diamond to me with Madsen at the top behind the two strikers, Kamara at the base with Saito and Vale either side. Second half looked like a flatter midfield four but I lost track after all the substitutions (which may explain why punditry was never likely to be a career option for me!)
Edit: Always helps if you can spell their names (sorry, Glen!)
I missed the start last night, so my first hearing. I won't bother with any adjectival phrases, none would be scathing enough. Let's just say it's unacceptable.

And it’s written by a Rangers fan for many years.
Even includes the Outro “I never felt more like a…..”
Just saw a post on the TikTok where two Rangers lads have written it and were nervous about it being played. I don't think it is a terrible idea, but seems so obvious the brief was to match Arsenal's North London Forever claptrap. I think it could be built upon / honed....or some such, especially as Arsenal have to contrive their gloryhunter fanbase and their song singing about an area they only visit 5 times a year....so we should be far better than that with an "anthem" about West London.
Yes, was a tad harsh there tbh. Although, I have written plenty of songs over the years haha.
