I agree with this 100%, it’s a psychological thing to ‘only’ lose by two, but also could be important from a GD perspective too When the play-off places went to 6th place, the last spot often gets decided by GD, so I expect it to be very tight with 8th place up for grabs. That’s why the late, late goal conceded v Derby irked me too.
Cheers Clive, I always hate the idea of being beaten by a ‘better team’ - very Rednapp-esque - but no denying we were out-played in the second half. |

This is true, Southampton much tougher to play against than Swansea. But just in terms of his goals, he could still be in line to score 15+ this season which would surely garner us a few points along the way.] |

I thought Kemper not at his best yesterday - not fully fit? Considering how he had Bowen in his pocket, he was not nearly as effective yesterday and got turned very easily for the first goal. Fact that Southampton could attack with purpose down both flanks caused us problems too. |

Sh1t timing too straight after his first goal he would have buzzing after that |

Two stand-out ones for me today. Kone really IS back, quality strike today, echoes of some of his goals last season. A confident striker’s goal.
Chair back on the pitch, albeit for ten odd minutes including added time. With Vale chronically out of form, we need a fully fit Chair out there. Should be good for at least 30 mins V Burnley. |

Are they better than West Ham/Middlesborough? I know we did better against these two, but that doesn’t necessarily make them inferior to Southampton. |

Thread | Last four results
at 20:22 31 Oct 2026
In our last four games, we have won and lost every second one by a minimum of three goals. I wonder when did we last experience such a sequence of dichotomic results and did it stretch for longer than four matches? Bit of a ‘rollercoaster of emotions’ to say the least. |

True, there were three Swansea guys trying to dispossess him and he showed great strength to hold them all off. Then the weight of his pass to Smyth was inch perfect. In fact I think Poku had his best game in a QPR shirt last Saturday, long may it continue |

I had to read all the comments to make sure it wasn’t just me who thought he was an arrogant pompous twit (with a capital A) My goodness I hope we stuff them now. I remember the Sunderland guy a couple of years ago was just as arrogant and we got a very credible 0-0 with ten men. This should be printed off and stuck up on the dressing room wall before KO. JS wouldn’t have to say a word. |

I think for some games at least, he should be paired up front with Kone, as that definitely seems to bring the best out of both of them. I get that this might leave us light in mid-field at times, but for some ‘easier’ home games it could be very potent. We don’t need to play two wide players in every game (I especially think Kemper is well able to look after himself) so 4-3-3 could work on occasion. Seemed to work just fine last Sat and the way we play is very fluid anyway. |

We have definitely proved against West Ham and Swansea that we can compete with the pace-setters. But we have also shown against Birmingham that if we let these standards slip we get done over. Impossible to maintain impeccable standards all season so we will lose several games this year - it’s how we react to a defeat that matters. No complaints on that score last Saturday. |

Another thing I noticed after watching the highlights (again) was that after his 2nd goal, Kolli was pulling him aggressively by the neck of his shirt (by way of celebration) but JD was completely blanking him while he waited for other players to congratulate him - interesting. |

It seemed to be a bit of a panic buy at the time, a stop gap to fill Burrell’s long term injury. Remember at the time we were still well in the play-off picture and the Burrell/Kone relationship was very effective. For whatever reason reason it never happened, whether he genuinely picked up an injury before kicking a ball for us, or JS took a look at him in training and realised he wasn’t good enough (yet) for the Championship we don’t know. Silence and vaacumes always lead to conspiracy theories, even more so now on-line.
IF we get our injured attacking players back - Chair, Burrell, Lloyd - and he is not getting a game when they are out , it does seem wise to loan him out in January to get him some minutes under his belt. On a human level, I feel sorry for the lad.
Ironically, if JS had played Smyth in that Burrell role last year, he would never had needed to buy Obikwu in the first place. Not blaming the manager for this at all, he clearly knows his playing staff a lot better now than ten months ago. |

Its a good point Antti. I think we followed our demolition of Leicester with a barely deserved draw at Portsmouth. The 'standards' test now is to 'give Southampton a game' - the result matters less than the performance. On the flip side, our response to what was our worst performance of the season at Birmingham was absolutely outstanding.
Cheers Clive, match report matched match. |

Well that’s a given. The report enhances any game I see on the box which is nice. But it’s the games I don’t get to see at all that come to life when I read the report. |
