Good game, I hate it so much when we lose a lead though, whoever we are playing.....we just went to sleep for a few minutes after coming out for half time.
Macnamee, Cox and Paynter all looked great, and Jack Smith was fantastic. I was really impressed with some periods of slick one touch passing....i noticed that against Tranmere as well.
Im still worried about Casal though. Other than a couple of decent slide tackles, i though he looked out of place and position, and made several wrong choices.
And one more thing....i was sat in Don Rogers in front of three cocky cockney QPR fans who decided to get tickets for our stand. If you are going to sit with the home fans, dont start slagging off our players, cheering your goals and calling our fans cunts. This happened, and one bloke near me turned around and looked at them when we scored....and they decided to kick off and start grabbing his shoulder and arguing and saying the classic London cliches such as "You mugging me off", and "Jog on you caaant". Absolute twats.

Quite a mixed bag I thought tonight, we looked great going forward at times, with some really slick passing and good movement from the front two, but at times defensively we looked weak I think. QPR attacked with so much pace and in numbers and thats when they created their best chances, although they failed to take them.
Smith was great going forward but, but need a little bit more help when defending. Their second goal came about as a result of someone not picking up or closing down on the edge of our box, and he had so much time and space.
Casal has the raw attributes to be a good player, but gets himself into dodgy positions. Alot of the time he has the pace to get himself out of trouble but I think he'll improve with time.
The front two were magic, Cox was my motm for his work outside the box. When the broke towards the end, Cox sprinted 80 yards to make the challenge and his work rate was immense.
We look good, really good, but we looked good at home last year aswell, the real test is how we play in the first couple of away games.

Looking at the pictures on the Official Site, QPR have the same away shirt as we had last season but with gay yellow flashes instead of our amazing hetero red ones!!

Well I enjoyed that.
Good organic, fair trade football.
One thing though, deep into injury time, 3-2 down, and have just won a corner. Why not send yer 6ft 7 goalkeeper up?

aljofree = liability.
he moans like fuck at the rest of the defence, when nine times out of ten he is the cause of the problem.
casal wandered around a bit too much, Brez flapped at stuff alot but i guess the weather didnt help, smith had a good game, paynters header was magical, i do believe it was his zola-esque flick on from a corner at the townend that gave most of the stadium wood.

I thought Macca, Paynter and McGovern had a great game...... Was I the only person who thought Morrison looked out of his depth. He was crap IMO although admittedly I understand he was thrown in the deep end so will give him time but....

Atmosphere was much improved as well.
I put this solelydown to a good friend of mine moving from Don Rogers to the Town End for this game.

I thought Aljofree did well tonight and on Saturday. His experience helps the younger/newer players and he wins a lot in the air!

I must say I was worried when Aljofree went down injured. He is one player that only goes down when he is hurt.

I think Morrison did well, as did Smith - Aljofree and Casal were the dodgy ones in defence (although I'll give Casal the benefit of the doubt for the time being) |
