We don't want to keep the ball indefinitely, though. We want the opposition to have it from time to time - recovering it from their net  |

Good questions RsinWales.
I do not pretend to have any answers but I do know that it Is those 'scary' holes in midfield that bother me most and tightening up the team, to make us harder to score against will be the priority. I comfort myself with the knowledge that, whatever we think, Marti and his colleagues will have seen what the problems are and will know - better than we do - how to solve them. |

I hope that this will not be misunderstood, but, I liked a lot of what I saw (on Sky+) from Rangers last night.
I was concerned that we did not seem to recognise the threat that Hull presented when they won possession between the centre circle and our box and I did not like the way that we wasted a number of set-pieces when we had them.
But, some of our attacking play was very good to watch and the Sky co-commentator acknowledged that.
21 shots at goal and seven on target, but, how do we tighten up in the other half of the pitch? Over to you, Marti. I am sure that it can be done. |

The game had '0-0' written all over it, until that red card.
Anyone who has watched professional football for a long time knows that, from time to time, there are days like this - not only the red card but a deflected goal against a goalkeeper who had been playing particularly well.
There will be better days, especially when Dembele recovers his confidence. |

In the first half, we looked uncertain and even clumsy. Was that the pressing from the opposition? Maybe, but it was to be expected that SW would start the game vigorously. That deep shadow over half the pitch may have explained the odd stray pass. Scratching for real reasons, but (see a previous thread) the international break ended our rhythm and I wondered if some players thought that they could 'save themselves' for the more glamorous match coming up on Tuesday? |

Thanks for the invitation, Boston. What an honour! It must be right to say that fish and chips is better by the sea, especially in Cornwall. The fish and chips from 'Colin the Cod' in Looe (he was previously in Polperro) are highly thought of. I live in Plymouth now, where I like the very modern fish and chips from Kingfisher in Plympton. Not often though - a matter of pounds and ounces, rather than pounds and pence . |

Lovely, except (being pedantic) I don't think he would have scored those 18 goals 'in blue and white hoops.' I am pretty sure that it would have been in our white shirt with the blue trim on the collar. |

So true, numptydumpy.
A few years ago, there was a wonderful example of how much more difficult it is than people think. Anyone remember that famous radio commentary by Phil Neville? |

"hopefully part of the break will involve stopping bannon having his annual free game in midfield on sat week, ideally it involves something along the lines of kicking him as high and as hard as possible in the first min or so."
So, a red card for Jack Colback? |

A six-year-old and an eight-year-old?
I am old and I know that I am boring but, isn't that a bit young?
If they are deeply interested in football and they have the necessary attention span, maybe. Otherwise, it could be a long hard day that they might not want to repeat. |

Conor, you will have to decide whether this meets the criterion of being a 'serious' idea.
In an era when the use of AI is increasing and robots already deliver food in a restaurant (on TV recently) the future for Loftus Road may look like this.
No human spectators at all. 18,300 animated dummies filling the stadium (during and between matches). Super new sound system to provide un-matched crowd noise, synchronised by AI to what is happening on the pitch. New camera facilities and a state-of-the-art QPR TV channel for the thousands (could become millions?) of QPR fans to watch from wherever they are in the world.
No need to dig down. No need to buy up all the property in the vicinity of the stadium. No need to improve the Ellerslie Road lavatories. No bill for policing and stewarding. Fans pay a subscription, but save on travel. A 'boutique' club for the 21st century? |

A couple of weeks on the training ground. A chance to work on weaknesses and to develop new ideas. Or, a couple of weeks when the players lose the edge that comes from playing regularly? It must be hard to manage.
Does it make anyone else nervous? |
