Watched Heart of the Beast. I really wanted this to be good , but it was a bit daft. Odin the dog should get an Oscar though. Emotional ending.
Not a classic by any stretch. |

Mad as a box of frogs and bit of a loose cannon, but I like him. Decent player, doesn't give anyone an easy game, including his own team sometimes, but thats a real shame if its is ACL. Wish him all the best recovery. |

Just to add, i spoke with Ted on here via the DMs not in person.
I dont know if he's still reading LFW atm but maybe just send him a message through there, and hopefully he gets to read them. |

I spoke with Ted briefly last week. He's not too good sadly, barely can type. But he's keeping positive and said he'll get through it. Sounds like his wife is working around the clock, looking after the family.
Thoughts, prayers and any positive energy going Ted's way and his family atm. |

Only watched the first half, but wasn't surprised by the final result. Brum were very good i thought and will defo be in the mix for promotion based on that performance. Strong, sharp passing with intent. They attacked down our right side because that was obviously our weaker side, with Poku and Adamson. Kept pulling our players out of position, Dunne got caught a couple of times. That first goal was on Kolli , who is struggling with form and confidence.
We were tired, not as strong and a bad day at the office overall.
Still early in the season, injuries have already started to pile up. Tough season ahead.
I still think we have a good team, and we'll be in the playoffs. There.. i said it. |

Nourry feeding the the QPR algorithm machine. ?
We seem to be popping up a lot on young youtubers content etc.
If this gets a million views, its done its job.. despite it being a load of gash.
Most of tik tok is diabolical. |

Is it big clubs getting bigger or is it just the wealth gap getting bigger ? . All those things Norf has suggested helps bridge that gap. |

Yeh I agree to an extent.
I think im looking at it from questioning the control a medical team have , to allow the medics to pre-empt games, having control of what goes on during games. Surely once a player has been assessed and passed as fit to play, then to dictate minutes on the pitch despite how the game is going conflicts with the mangers job to win the game.
Our injury record seems to be things going on off the pitch. Conditioning etc. Not overplaying them. Of course the fixture list is tough , but its a squad game these days 22 - 23 players named for the season. Surely we can get a load of young sportsmen to complete 90 minutes of football without breaking them.
It all just seems like modern day football over complicating a simple sport.
I prefered my footballers drinking 8 pints the night before a game, fry up in the morning and a fag at half time.. 
Anyway.. Great game yesterday and result. And if it wasnt for a medical teams intervention (divine or otherwise) , we wouldn't have had that dramatic penalty save from the glorious Charles. |

We were one nil up with their best player in Kempers pocket. Huge risk taking Kemper off. We got away with it. Those 46 games amount to nothing if we lose them all. I think the discussion is about in game management of players fitness over getting results on the pitch. Its an interesting one. [Post edited 11 Oct 10:57]

I dont think you can compare JS keeping Kemper on the pitch to see out the game for another 20 minutes, to Beale flogging Willock to death in multiple games.
The influx of medics with laptops haven't improved footballers pain threshold. Now players are acutely aware of every single tendon in their legs. Yes players are quicker, stamina off the scale, and carrying not an ounce of fat on them. But they seemed to be made of glass these days. |

We did just have a 3 week international break btw. This over flogging the players excuse is a bit thin.
We're only really debating this now, due to the Kemper sub ,which was such an obvious issue. I dont think you can compare JS keeping Kemper on the pitch to see out the game for another 20 minutes, to Beale flogging Willock to death in multiple games. |

I didnt clock Kemper pulling up before half time. Or even noticed he was struggling 2nd half. That does explain taking him off I guess. That Smyth sub was standard maneuver though, plus he was battered. Surely if you are doing in game managing injury prone players , you'll be taking off JCS on 60 or 70 minute, dropping Edwards back in there and juggling the midfield around or even bring on Varane. |

Would you be saying that if we lost last night, due to those subs ?
If anything, i thought he took off Kemper as he was on a yellow too. [Post edited 10 Oct 10:47]

Im not sure on the Kemper sub. I get what you are saying with managing players injuries, but as Lamptey proved, its actually impossible to know. You just have to trust the players. Was Kemper an injury prone player when we signed him.?
We all know the old skool method of managing injury prone players in the past, basically, they dont train during the week and then get them on the pitch for as long as possible on a Saturday. I completely get things have improved. But to jeopardise the game, just so the medic team can tick some boxes goes too far the other way, imo. Willock comparison is an exception. Smyths subbing made sense, Boy Kemper less so. To stick on Lamptey as Kempers replacement proved you cant rely on the medic team, to get results on the pitch. Surely you do those assessments during the week, not during a championship football match.? |

Good result.
Lots of positives to talk about. Boy Kemper and Smyth were excellent as was highlighted by what happened when they came off. That left side just evaporated.
We look a proper team atm. Great to see Jake Clark Salter finally stringing some games together and making a real impact in this team. Not as gung ho as Dunne, but just as efficient in defence.
Some of the football we played, was a joy to see, one touch as they pinged it around WHam.
Shame Burrell was injured as I think he would have stretched their defence more then Kolli, who didnt have his best game. If he scores that shot from the edge of the box, that would justify all the clamour to get him in the team. For me, he didn't do enough. Struggled holding the ball up, and knocked the ball back to opposition too many times. But its a tough ask, to just come back into the team against a decent West Ham side. So perhaps I shouldn't be too critical.
Pierce Charles is the standout of course. His distribution is top class , made an important fingertip save down to his right, Cryuffs one of their pressing forwards and that penalty double save to keep us in the game and in the top 6 was a superb moment for him and QPR.
Yeh the subs didnt work in the slightest, and nearly cost us the game. But I really like this squad, and I think JS has improved us overall. Decent manager. Let the good times roll.
And Kamara is the real deal. Really important we had him there last night. Great call by the club to re call him back from international duty. [Post edited 10 Oct 9:19]
