All week I had a sneaking feeling we'd do Brentford 3-0 and at last, I have got my first correct prediction on the LFW predictor competition at the thirtieth odd time of asking.
Said to the wife as I set off yesterday, we're due a good win, I feel it. Stood opposite the bar in C Block, I said to one of the lads I sit with, must shove a few quid on 3-0.
Sat in a pub afterwards watching the last efforts in the rugby, I left ruing the fact that my old landlord in France offered me a ticket for the rugby there next week, but I turned it down. That and as we neared k.o. at QPR yesterday, I looked at the queue still at the betting kiosk and thought, blow it I might jinx them!
This time next year, QPR will be a minimum 12 points better off. Of the many players leaving and those we'd like to leave, how many will really be a miss? Junior on this late run of form only. Henry, Ale will stay if offered terms should we want them and so if as I/we all agree, a good and proper pre-season and some luck in moving on the dross and bringing in who JFH wants, then 'I feel' by March 2017, we'll be talking play-offs.
Will I put money on it? No excuses if I don't.
Well done QPR because yesterday we not only saw a thoroughly professional display, we also saw a team that is fitter and when Brentford started to get in our faces, we stood up. In this league, these traits will get you a long way. Well done to JFH and his team and the players for getting to this stage from a low-level during the season.
Consistency is the next target and as we can see progress overall, that will come too. |  |
