Silky_Ste added 08:19 - Aug 8 Firstly a great day out and our away following was superb. Some great singing. Proud of the display and actually felt gutted when we left at full time. It was a tough game so to come away with a point from that is very good. Sinclair seem to be a new player from last season.

jdalec added 16:34 - Aug 9 A nervy start to our league 1 status but we did settle down. Either side could have taken all the points but i think a draw was perhaps the fairest result. Jones was magnificent and was the only midfield player to try and make things happen. Onwards and upwards

qpr1962 added 21:52 - Aug 10 well we play some young plays tonight but warnock is right we still need about three new signings if we get injury's to some of main plays we found very hard over the season i do no we got plays like rowlands cook and mahon to come back from injury so good luck to port vale in next round

HamptonR added 07:40 - Aug 11 Last night proves that Neil Warnock is correct when he says that we do not have enough strength in the squad. Had we played Vale on Saturday the outcome would have been very different.

shooters47 added 08:29 - Aug 11 Definitely shows that the squad is not good enough but think we may be forgetting that 5 of Mr Warnocks signings played last night. Keep being told that Kenny hasnt played for a year and not sure when he is going to start!! Good to see Leon Clarke has lost weight and not gained any skill and that we are concentrating on the league again.

SomersetHoops added 10:39 - Aug 11 I see NW says our reserves are not good, but I went to a reserves friendly at Taunton Town and could see that. I think quite a few of our youngsters have potential, but need senior competitive games to develop. Once they outgrow the age group competitions the only thing is to send them out on loan. Problem is while the squad is short we need them to fill gaps and playing in fits and non-starts won't help their development. Hopefully NW can fill the gaps and we can look forward to hanging onto these youngsters who can come back from loans ready to play a full part in QPR's future. Lets not be too downhearted by this defeat it should have been expected from the team sheet. I'm indebted to MelakaRanger for letting me know Marlon King will definately not be signing which for me is more important than this result. Tommy Smith? Danny Cipriani!??? - I feel before too long we will have the squad to compete.

jdalec added 13:48 - Aug 11 Did well to go in at half time still in with a chance, came out a different side second ahlf and looked quite comfortable at times. Elding had a few decent chances and could of grabbed another, COG also had a gift of chance which he would normally have chosen his spot and cooly placed the ball in it, not to be. Overall a good hard won game that will hopefully send us to Brighton with our tails in the air.

fooldude added 21:35 - Aug 14 A tough game against a well organised side who will no doubt finish above us this season given their resources. However, the lads seemed to have their heads down after giving away another by-line softie. On target stats says it all. Some good football but no-one seemed prepared to shoot. You can't win matches on headers alone.
0

newgolddream added 01:37 - Aug 15 Smashin win and another clean sheet. After Tuesday's fiasco this was a great pick me up and suggests we can challenge for promotion this season. A couple of additions before the window would also give us more options in this tough division.

antoknee64 added 10:36 - Aug 15 When will we accept that Ephraim is a quuality player and in both league games has provided and scored goals,my worry is when Buzz is fit will Hogan be dropped?. Great result again,even though we are scoring goals it`s still obvious that a target striker is needed.

French_Hoops added 02:51 - Aug 22 I reckon that the back four had a pretty solid game, with a special mention for Orr. Kenny is getting sharper and shows already glimses of the talent he had at Sheffield. Derry was also on top of everything today. If he keeps on going like that, he will win me over. Taarabt was excellent (those passes with his outside foot were a delight!) and Helguson is linking well and should have had a hat-trick. Buzsaky looked like he's going to enjoy when we play like that too! Kenny 7, Orr 8, Connolly 7, Gorkss 7, Hill 7, Ephraim 7, Derry 8, Faurlin 7, Taarabt 9, Helguson 8, Mackie 7. Buzsaki 6, Leigertwood 5, German 5. As for the low attendance, it is always more or less the same at this time of the year (or throughout the season). We're only almost at full capacity when we play at home on Boxing Day or against a big name which I don't think will happen this year... I reckon the next few games will be decisive if we want the team to keep their confidence: Derby away will be a real test as they're on a poor run and already desesperately need a result, Middlesbrough is also a (supposedly) strong contender and Ipswich looks like a direct concurent this year... In Warnock we trust! I'm wondering whom he might add... (what about Boyd from Petersborough?)

markeastwood17 added 08:31 - Aug 22 It has been a few years since I've seen Leeds play that quality of football. We totally dominated Millwall and should have scored 6. Still worried about the defence though, particularly Naylor who was awful in the first half and Bessone who was average at best throughout. We still seem to be conceding sloppy goals and at this level we can't afford to do that, so I'd drop Naylor and give Bruce a chance. Can't see Larry dropping the captain though. On a separate note, I had to laugh when I saw the team news on MOTD for the Arsenal vs Blackpool game. Ex Leeds donkey Stephen Crainey at left back and Theo Walcott on the right wing. Surprised they only scored 6!

0

Yorkshire_Dale added 11:30 - Aug 22 Very poor attendance for what was an entralling game all round. Good passing and moving from both sides but Dale missing the chance to register when on top for long period of the 1st half. Thought Jonah contained the Pesky Perks for a while but he got going in the end and was snapping at every thing and everyone in usual fashion. Joey T showed glimses but ended up falling about and was rightfully subbed and the readjusted team did well until the sucker punch. Holness is the new McArdle......good but there is alaways a mistake or two there if pressured......his distribution was much better than against H'pool. Well done the 2 little fellas...Tutte and Redshaw,give em a start against Brum Hilly

monksd103 added 18:15 - Aug 28 Well that's what happens when you play in such a negative way. You'll have a half empty stadium if you keep on playing that kind of football - time wasting at any opportunity and faking injury. The ref was ridiculous and if he'd played the 8 minutes injury time that there should have been we could have nicked it. Come on you r's!

davidr1348 added 19:33 - Aug 28 well it was an unlucky end to a good performance in my opinion.Such a asame we couldnt hang on and go top but still undefeated.The positives were fantastic performances from Dave Mooney,Kem Izzet and Mark Cousins but most of all moons.I taught he was fantastic especially in the 1 half setting up several attacking chances and taking his goal very well.I wish a bigger crowd would turn out and support the lads!!!

It may only be league2 but they should be priviged to wear the shirt ,the wages may not be the best but it is much easier than working for a living as some players will find out. We must give the owners a chance this is a marathon ,not a sprint and we are only 4 games into the season

crazyface added 12:22 - Sep 1 Lame match with two teams that were low on actual skill but high on endeavour. I cannot remember any passing move from either team consisting of more than three passes. This is due to the fact that neither of them were good enough to do this. Macc won due to a well struck goal from Vinni who nonchalantly clipped the ball past the keeper after being put through on the 42 minute. Morcombe missed a sitter in the second half with a free header at the far post being nodded onto the said post, an amazing bit of skill as it would of been easier to knock it in. The ball then bounced across the Macc goal to Morecombes lumbering "striker" Rundle how somehow put the ball wide from inside the six yard box. Again, an amazing bit of skill. Mr MacIlroy should explain to his team that the object is to ensure the ball goes between the uprights and the crossbar.

To cap it all Football Genious Wilko at 0-2 takes off his only attacking threat and replaces him with a left back. Stunning. Can't remember feeking so pissed off since relegation from the Championship. Take our time to pick a new manager ? - we can't afford to procrastinate with this rudderless ship

wessex_exile added 17:03 - Sep 6 I've already posted some of this on the board, but overall an uninspiring match by and large, but that shouldn't detract from the actual performance of the U's, which perversely was really quite good across the board. Henderson and Izzet are the only players I've marked down, the former because he was largely absent from the game for long periods, and Izzy for no other reason than he nearly (should have) cost us the win with his wayward pass. Thank god Cousins stood tall driving Byfield further wide than he wanted to be to spare Kemi's blushes, because it would have tarnished what was otherwise another solid midfield performance from the Col U munchkins. Bond, Wilson and Mooney continue to demonstrate just why we've made the right decision in John Ward, Wilson's cross for the goal was simply perfect. In the end, a hard-fought but definitely well-deserved 3pts for the U's. As a final P.S. to the day, I was chatting with a elderly gentleman from Wolves on the train back from Bescot to New Street, who had returned to England for the first time after emigrating to Australia over 40 years ago. He agreed that it was the right result for the match, but also commended us (and Walsall) on the spirit that the match was played out in - very fair, not overly dirty or aggressive - all in all a pleasing day out at the football for the gentleman, who returns to Australia this week. The reason we started chatting in the first place? - well, just before leaving for Australia all those years ago, the last game of football he got to see - Walsall v Colchester at the old Fellows Park (must have been 25th Nov 1967 I reckon). When he knew his travel plans, and compared them with fixture lists, he knew he just had to make it the first (only actually) match when he got back as well.

BromleyHoop added 10:43 - Sep 12 Thoroughly enjoyable. Even in the first half, when it was more of an even contest, I knew we would get a result 'cos we'd made the better chances. 'Boro didn't create anything and Gorkks just battered Boyd out of the game. I can't see how Connolly can be dropped for Hall after that performance. Very impressed with Helgusson's work rate even at 3 -0 up. Crowd fantastic and I even thought the ref was pretty good. If I had to find something that I wasn't overly impressed with, and this is nit picking, it's Bradley Orr. His positional sense was not what it could have been and I thought he should have got forward a bit more. We just might be at the start of a truly brilliant season.

quickpassrotter added 01:11 - Sep 15 Brilliant performance tonight (again). Outstanding all across the park. <ackie's turn to be 'unplayable' tonight. Derry again excellent as was Matthew C. Helguson led the line well. The young lad Walker just fitted in as if he had played 100 games or so for us - what a prospect. Good that Buzz got game time, and his thunderbolt ''goal'' should have stood I think but the ref was a little to quick to award the pen, which HH slotted in anyway. Just hope that Faurlin's injury is not too serious. Great stuff !

Looking forward to every game and ready for the odd slip-up.

Adkins got Morgan to drop off and grab the game which is a very good sign .I am convinced it will come , we deserved to win against an organised Colchester side ,much better substitutions made at the right time . With the addition of some pace/cover up front in the loan Market and a clever centre mid player , we will storm up the league .Well done nigel coys

johnfallen added 22:07 - Sep 19 A very fair report, (thats from a lcfc fan) but why the digs about the stadium? pathetic....depressing? really?.....if you think the ground is unsafe, you have a duty to report it to health and safety executive.....seriously.... built on the cheap? have you looked at your ground? no chance of that being overloaded, it never gets filled sadly....reminds me of the moon, no atmosphere....( just a little dig)....

Northernr added 13:11 - Sep 21 John - It's a long running bug bear of mine, loads of QPR fans on here pull me up about it as well. I hate the new grounds that were all bunged up around the same time at Boro, Derby, Leicester, Southampton, Coventry etc. I hate them because by and large they're in the middle of nowhere (because the land is cheap), they have dreadful parking and train links and they have no atmosphere whatsoever because by and large they're 8000 seats or so too big for the team they house and the stands are all miles from the pitch which results in vast open spaces of silence. Most of all though they all look the bloody same - the only difference between southampton and leicester is the colour of the seats, likewise boro and derby. It's just so depressing. Your football club is your identity and every football club should be unique. Thanks to the ground moves Derby, leicester and coventry all sort of blend into one midlands blancmange of mediocrity. Examples of grounds I like - Portman Road, Carrow Road, Bramall Lane. Successfull modernised without compromising their individuality or moving out of the town centre where all the pubs and restaurants are. And yes, Loftus Road. Looking its age and increasingly not fit for purpose but it's got 100 pubs or eateries within 15 minutes walk, five tube stations on two different lines, one overground station, one motorway and a host of bus routes all within walking distance. And it's different, there's no other ground like it. New grounds used to be unique too - huddersfield, bolton, millwall. But somewhere along the line some boring accountant got hold of this one size fits all design that means about a dozen teams in this country now play in identical grounds in the middle of retail parks or old gas works. I'd be gutted if QPR ever ended up with one of them. And it does wobble under your feet, very noticeably.

jfk added 10:49 - Sep 26 Poor first half. The atmosphere was quiet and there was a building tension that seemd to reach the players. I guess that's what raised expectation can do. Couldn't keep posession going forwards, and didn't press when we lost posession, so Doncacster made alot of the play. That said, I think the defence all played well (the odd falling over aside) and the only real threat was from the Rovers freekcick - and that brought a fantastic save by Kenny, an an incredible clearance off the line by Hill from the follow-up. The performance, and the atmosphere, improved second half even before the goal. Ephraim and Mackie were both working hard to put rovers more under pressure, and giong forwards we started to show a bit more threat. The goals, when they came, were all fairly soft defensively but I wasn't compliaining. Didn't think it was a penalty, and neither did Helguson, who picked himself up and stuck it in the net. Lucky we scored the pen. All in all we were good for the points in the end, but 3-0 was a bit harsh on Rovers. Not that I'm too bothered - we're top of the league!!!!!! :)

Troy_17 added 09:39 - Sep 29 I'm in two minds about who to blame... The game was crying out for us to switch to 451 after we 'luckily' went ahead 4-1. We palyed some good stuff in that 20 minute spell, but before and after in the first half we were getting overrun with their runners from midfield feeding off Parkin's holdup play. The change in formation never came. If Amdy Faye isn't going to play in this game, when is he going to play? On the other hand in Grayson's defence, in his post match interview he highlighted all of these concerns, and said he gave the lads a rollicking at HT for not trying to close the game down. So the players must take their share for not doing that. The formation was possibly less to blame in the second half, with Hume joining Parkin in tormenting our backline once we had to push forward, with their midfielders now embarrassingly not needed as much! All in all, just a terrible performance all round. Possibly only Somma enhanced his reputation, good movement and an excellent strike for his second. Changes afoot I'm sure for Sat, which is now a huge game. I would have been happy to write it off had we won tonight, but a point and solid reaction (as we got at Doncaster) is now needed, otherwise it'll be a difficult two week break...

tazzydjr added 14:10 - Sep 30 This was a very competitive match according to some of the 4,200 Huddersfield Town fans what attended at Spotland stadium that night. But in every Rochdale Fans eye's this would be "A Night to Remember" with a amazing clean sheet for the Rochdale Keeper Josh Lillis and there were Three Goals scored By Jason Kennedy, John-Louis Akpa Akpro who signed from The Blue Square Conference side Grimsby Town during the summer.Including The Rochdale Fans Highly Rated Star Super Chris O'Grady who signed from Oldham Athletic in the summer Transfer window, who scored the winning Goal against Northampton at Spotland stadium to give the club its League One status in the N-power Football League which where Formly known as The CocaCola Football League and he has been scoring Goals in League One since Rochdale's Promotion. This Match also saw Two Former Rochdale Players Return to Spotland Jordan Rhodes and Anthony Plikington, which saw the likes of Dean Smalley, Newly Loanee from Oldham Athletic make a impact during the Match and Chris Goodall showing footwork and movement during The Match but it wasnt such a good Match for Anthony Elding who made a impact in the Carling Cup scoring against Barnsley which saw Rochdale get a trip to Premiership outlet Birmingham City, where Rochdale where unlucky thanks to a penalty given by The refferee which clearly wasnt a penalty. Even though Huddersfield Town had majority prosession of the Ball on the Night they couldnt seem to score, this saw Rochdale Dominate, the last minutes of the Match. The Next Trip for Rochdale will be tuff trip to Exeter city St James Park yeah not Newcastle United St James Park no matter how much Rochdale Fans would love a trip there But Exeter city, St James who got Promoted in 08/09 and have managed to hold on to there league One status ever since. Rochdale AFC 3-0 Huddersfield Town FC Attendence 6,121

nealeadams added 20:16 - Oct 2 A good professional performance, well done. How Eddie Howe can question the penalties I don't know, both were nailed ons. Had the referee let Puncheon carry on with his one on one instead of pulling the game back for a Saints free kick, we would have also scored from open play. That would also have done wonders for his confidence. No question about the sending off either, in fact he was lucky not to go for the first foul on Harding.

durham_exile added 11:02 - Oct 17 After the disappointment of last week it was back to the draw specialists the U's who remained unbeaten away from home. Probably the best weather ever at Boundary Park, sunshine and shirt sleeves the order of the day. Both Williams played well, Tom showed some good touches wasn't afraid to push forward and produced some decent crosses, particularly second half. Ben must improve his distribution but shot stoppping was very good. Kem Izzet didn't have the best of days, he looked laboured and lost out in the centre of the park too mnay times. I do hope that Andy Bond is not out for too long following a nasty challenge from Furman which originally was not even given as a free kick by the referee but after Dave Mooney kicked the ball out the ref changed his mind and booked the Latic. Vincent played well and was also subject to some harsh challenges resulting in an injury delay. Most disapointing player was Woody who perhaps was not fit but seemed disinterested and failed to get involved in the game. Dave Mooney worked hard throughout and with Vincent created our two best opportunities. Problem is he is not going to add to his goalscoring record without better service. When Hendo came on he was slow and failed to outpace the defenders unlike Vincent who does have genuine pace. Verdict a deserved point but if we are to make a sustained push for promotion these single points must be turned into wins. And finally when are we going to see the real Kayode Odejayi - he looks the part, has great strength and prerence but must be lacking in confidence - a goal is long overdue. Up the U's

SomersetHoops added 15:01 - Oct 17 Always going to be a tight game and Norwich were acting as spoilers for every creative move we made - I think this could have been punished more effectively by the ref, except it was Mr Page who has something against QPR . I rate Hogan, but he hasn't got the physical presence to deal with teams like Norwich and think Pat Ag should have come on as a replacement for him at half time. We lost some of our creative flair when we replaced Buzz with Leigertwood who showed signs of being short of games by giving the ball away too often. Kyle Walker was MOM for me and some of his crosses could have come to more if we had H and Pat in the middle for the whole of the second half.

Rs4life added 23:09 - Oct 22 Taarabt was ridiculously greedy, and no one particularly stood out apart from youn Kyle Walker. Paddy Kenny made some good saves too. Hopefully with Hulse now back in the reckoning we shld get some more goals next week.

NineteenCanteen added 03:21 - Oct 24 A far from convincing performance until the double substition. Surely no argument now that Lambert is a luxury we can't afford when he is such a poor threat on goal and Puncheon is Chamberlain's much poorer understudy on the right. Chaplow also had a poor game as did Schneiderlin whose shooting was really poor. Davis, Chamberlin, Fonte, Lallana and Butterfield are really the only players who should be confident of retaining their place for next week and surely we have reached the time for change.

theallseeingeye added 19:20 - Oct 24 Lambert was poor, no arguing, however we can't forget what he did last season, and our best players need to play. The performance was very poor, which makes the win even more important, they do say sign of a good team, is one that can win, when playing badly. The subs did change the game, and gave us an impetus, that finally saw us over the line. Lallana, although a little quiter than I hoped, is pure class, and I fear how the saints would tick without him.

0

Kiwifiedpom added 21:16 - Oct 24 Football is an uncompromising game and success should be ruthlessly sought. There fore being nice to players is only good for physcological reasons. The anecdote about a young player seeking managers approval was told he'd played like Mathews and added as a put down Jesse Mathews not Stan Mathews. Saints did not play well today and one has to wonder what is going on at Staplewood during the week. Fonte and Seaborne were woeful the centr midfield were non existent Puncheon was to predictable. Harding was awful defensively except Lallana, Butterfield, and the two subs it was a very poor display and I think there will wholesale changes coming.

ourkid1984 added 10:47 - Oct 25 I think some people expect too much from League 1 players. Wasn't Oldham above us before the game and playing well and with confidence? Did we not just come off a dissapointing defeat and performance? In my opinion we started really well and after 15-20 minutes we could of been 3 up. Did no one see Puncheon hitting the post or at least 2 good saves their keeper made? I also saw that we dominated play. It wasn't until they scored from one chance that was a lack of concentration from our defence that we started to not play as well as it looked like their confidence was even higher and ours must of been extremely low. I saw the signs that happened before we scored our first goal. It wasn't ever going to be a case of a super sub it was coming down to our greater fitness. Oldham looked tired with 10 minutes of the first half left and it showed as we started to dominate again and their legs couldn't handle Lallana's extra skill as they fouled him with a minute left. There came the 1st goal and I knew that come the 70th minute they would be getting tired again and so this proved. Oxlaide Chamberlain did make a massive inpact but I'm not so sure that he would of been able to run through their defence as easy as he did at the start of the game, they looked tired and it showed as more of our players were getting more room and space so much so that every time Lallana go on the ball he done at least one trick knowing that their players could not keep up. Lets get it right we know that Oxlade Chamberlain is a great talent but we have also seen him play for too long in games and produce nothing much. Adkins has talked about having inpact players on the bench and that's exactly what he is at the moment. Would people say that Puncheon was poor and too predictable if he had of scored, which he came very close to doing more than once.

RBlock added 18:26 - Oct 30 Hhhhm, im not sure. Taarabt was starting to look better today than he has been in the last few draws. He linked up with Hogan a bit better and gave us a glimpse of his early season form that we so sorely miss. On another the note the ref today was absolutely atrocious, the standard of refeering in the championship on a whole is abismal.

Yorkshire_Dale added 18:38 - Oct 30 4 defeats in October,all by the odd goal to southern based teams and only solitary win against D&R.......are we getting a name as poor travellers? Badly need to get a result on Tuesday,.........and then again on Friday.
0

HamptonR added 23:06 - Oct 30 Hulse wasn't as effective as Helguson, Carlisle won most of the aerial battles. Ephraim was absent for most of the game and Smith looked very good when he came on. The ref had a shocker, he allowed Burnley to waste time, hassle him and at times tell him what to do, perhaps he thought they were still in the premier league.
0

wessex_exile added 01:30 - Oct 31 A very brief report as I'm in my bed ready for the land of nod. Not a vintage performance, but one full of grit, application and determination. Bournemouth dominated possession but utterly lacked any cutting edge and failed to capitalise on their neat midfield triangles. We showed them how to do it, and as a result fully deserved the win. The fans were magnificent, the ref one of the worst I've seen, ever...

0

jfk added 12:08 - Oct 31 I thought Burnley looked very strong at the back, and we kept on trying the same long balls with not much variety and not much success - not helped by the ref giving a free kick to them whenever a QPR player jumped for the ball. Some good stuff from Taarabt, and a superb goal, but he vanished a bit in the 2nd half. Hulse didn't do well against the defence/ref, and Ephraim was invisible (but I think that was more to do with the style we were playing). Derry and the back four looked good again, and Kenny made an unbelievable double save. Still unbeaten, but need to start winning again

0

crazyface added 11:28 - Nov 1 An exciting game made even better by a ref who was completely clueless. We won because Burton were devoid of passion, even after getting a goal back. Ridiculous first goal, the second was a thumping free kick. Our "forwards" are useless. Thank god for Hamza, otherwise we would be staring at relegation again and maybe again soon unless this freaky run of results (wins) continues.

Cleedale added 08:11 - Nov 6 Must admit to feeling sick this morning. OK - let's have a whinge - Dale should have had a penalty and FCUM basically cheated to get to the next round when the ref. was perfectly placed as the player kicking the ball out of Lillis' 2-hand grasp!! What a bad time for referee's decisions against Dale! Definitely time to bring in some in-the-stands replay system as Football is getting crazy with incompetent and dross outcomes. This really does have to be sorted!

jdalec added 17:54 - Nov 6 Where to start?? Had to explain to my son who has yet only really experienced joy as a dale fan that there is far more pain to being a dale fan than there is happiness !! Last night proved that. A Night to Forget. Up until last night the jury was out so to speak on Elding, the jury has retrurned, he is not what we were hoping for , flat footed and no where near sharp enough to play at the level we want to be competing at. CO'G had a dissapointing night and until Akpa came on we couldn't get hold of the game. Kennedy and Jones were indifferent and Holness and Widdowson had bad games. That said FC UTD came and went for it, they were up for it and we weren't. I thought the stewarding was really poor, allowing 3 pitch invasions whilst we had an over zealous steward in the sandy jack booting up and down chastising anyone who wasn't stood to attention !! Like I said a night to forget and erase from my memory

0

RBlock added 17:54 - Nov 6 Honestly, is Jaime Mackie human? the way he was running up and down the park for the full 90 was astounding! He was playing right back and chasing down their right back. His stamina and ability to keep goin will prove essential this season. What did people think of Orrs red? it was a two footed challenge but i didnt see him touch the man. Adel seems to be coming back into good and Derry was absolutely first class today!

quickpassrotter added 18:25 - Nov 6 brilliant performance. we were class today and we worked so hard. adel was practically unplayable, Faurlin back to his best and Tommy smith made a big difference. Could have and should have been more than 3 even with our ten men. Referee Tanner was poor again, and we do seem to get them at Loftus Road. Must have really boosted our confidence that we played the way we did before and particularly after Orr's sending off.

-2

Mattnme added 21:06 - Nov 6 It was one of those games where it was a real struggle to pick a motm because so many people contributed. In the end I have to give it to the lunatic that is Mackie. The boy does not stop running. He slaughtered their left back and there was even one moment in the second half where he had a one on one coming in from the left.

Mattnme added 21:09 - Nov 6 Plus he kept legs off the pitch. We would n't have got that result and might have even lost. It was back to watching Rangers of a month ago.

jfk added 21:09 - Nov 6 First half was a great game of football, and pretty even. Reading had alot of posession, but we just defend so well these days. All of the back four are so solid, and Derry in front of them gave as good a display today in that position as I can remember from anyone - and I've been coming for 35 years. Going forwards, we can just cut teams apart at times. Taraabt was sublime and Faurlin was pure class, and for all the Reading posession we looked much more likely to score - and should have (I really have to see that Hulse miss again before I can really figure out what happened). Definite penaltly and well worth one-up. From where I was sat in the Loft, Orr's challenge didn't look bad. I thought the Reading guy meg'd him and ran straight through him and went down. I could understand the free-kick, but a red? Maybe from a different angle it looked worse. I did hear a rumour at half time that it was for foul and abusive language, but the red came out pretty quick for it to have been that. Second half was just fantastic. At half time the talk was about who would Warnock take off to make room for Legs at right-back and try to hold on to the 1-0, but what a masterstroke leaving Mackie in there. The guy's a machine! Up and down the right flank tirelessly, and half way through the second half he even pops up in the inside left channel. Taraabt and Faurlin continued to run rings round them but the whole team, from front to back, and including Kenny put in such a shift to win the match it was incredible - especially to step up again and score another when Reading had pulled the goal back. Great to see Smith on the scoresheet, and well deserved What a great atmosphere too. The crowd really responded to the way the team played - and the sending off probably helped from that point of view too Just a brilliant afternoon out

-2

French_Hoops added 21:10 - Nov 6 Back to winning ways after decent perfomances against good teams previously. What pleases me most about today is the mentality glowing out of the side. Even with 10 men you could feel they wouldn't let this one slips up. Clive, how exactly & who rates officially the referee & linesmen? The FA claims transparency but you never know how a ref has performed in their eyes...

-2

jfk added 21:12 - Nov 6 Loved it when Kenny kept moving the goal kicks from one side of the 6-yard box to the other to kill time. One of things you hate when the other team do it, of course, but had to laugh

jfk added 21:13 - Nov 6 Nice goal for Reading. I can say that now.
-2

Southcoast_R added 22:23 - Nov 6 Brilliant performance and Warnock got it completely right. Faurlin and Derry were superb but really the whole team deserves the accolades cos they were a real team, battling, covering and putting themselves behind the ball when Reading were in possession (who were niggly and nasty all afternoon). As for the ref well...... Credit to them all and Jamie Mackie you are superhuman!

-2

SheffieldSteve added 00:22 - Nov 7 I can only add a big agreement to the above. The 'extra man' provided by the crowd certainly did happen today, Mackie was so fired up, and still geeing the crowd up even AFTER the match! Not that I want us to have terrible refs every match, and players sent off, but it's the sort of thing that winds up Loftus Road, if only it could happen more often whilst we have 11 players on the pitch... We'd be invincible ;-)

SomersetHoops added 16:04 - Nov 7 I was proud to be a QPR supporter on Saturday - the whole crowd of QPR supporters were sooo positive and gave it everything, especially after Bradley Orr was unfairly sent off. Both his feet were on the ground and all he did was to face up to the oncoming player - this should not have been a red card a doubtful yellow IMHO. As for Reading deserving a draw - in their dreams! It seemed their main tactic was to feign injury in an attempt to get our players sent off, unfortunately in the Bradley Orr case the ref. bought it. It was not just Taarabt who had a good game, Faurlin was superb so was Mackie, Derry & Conolly and I don't think we had a bad player on the pitch. Pat Ag looked very sharp when he came on, although I must defer to NW's judgement, perhaps he should be used a bit more. I can't do a player rating because I'd probably give them all 9. We will meet stronger teams than Reading - Cardif on 27th for example, but on today's showing they can be beaten and hopefully will be by us.

HangerOn added 20:09 - Nov 7 As others have said, it was a fantastic team effort yesterday and everyone deserves an award for producing our best performance of the season so far. Special mention has to be made of Jamie Nackie, who filled in admirably at right back and of Shaun Derry, who was the epitome of the midfield general all game. On almost any other day, Alejandro Faurlin would have earned the man of the match award: he was everywhere and combined skill with grit. However, yesterday was no ordinary day. Adel Taarabt was simply unplayable: his tricks and flicks would have been re-run endlessly had they been performed by Messi or Ronaldo. He was my man if the match.

0

wessex_exile added 20:30 - Nov 13 Well that was an odd game - can't argue with the result, we were second best in most departments - can't even comment on two of the goals because I missed their first in the loo with my son, and ours (along with quite a few others) trying to beat the queue for a foot-long hotdog. Otherwise it was a U's that huffed and puffed but struggled to find a telling pass or good control at crucial moments. Swindon should have been 1 up early on with their one-on-one, but Williams did well, came out and stood up, and eventually pulled off a blinder. Should then have been 1-0 with their free-kick against the inside foot of the post, along the goal line and out for a goal kick on the other side (it was that close). But THEN, how did Odejayi miss his free header to put us 1-0 up. That rather set the pattern for the day - more or less soaking up lots of pressure, occasionally having a go on the break, but usually those rare chances stalling for want of a killer pass. By the end, it wasn't that bad a game, we had a better go second half, and could have nicked a point at the end, but it wouldn't have been the right result.

onedalefan added 20:37 - Nov 13 Pretty football doesn't win matches if there is no end product. We need a Dagnell or Le Fondre who knows where the goal is. The way things are going, we are going to be dragged into a religation fight.

Things started so optimistically for us , I thought we totally out played them in the first half, they looked like a set of pub players and were there for the taking. Second half was crap, the best thing to do next time we play in Sheffield is drop Joe Thompson off at the Meadowhall and tell him to be ready for 6. ''Premiership player in the making'', don't talk bollocks, the blokes about as much use as a bull with tits, and before anyone starts just remind me how many talnet scouts are watching him, i'll put you out of your misery NONE !!

Yorkshire_Dale added 19:08 - Nov 20 Great game today with both teams contributing well. The addition of Grant gave us a bit more up front and very,very cool with the goal.....well done fella. Defense under severe pressure for periods.....our Midfield need more bite.How many times in 2nd half was the gippo Prutton allowed to waltz straight through our midfield to create chance after chance for Swindon??? We seemed scared to tackle him. Still,happy with a point and I say again, a good game.

0

onedalefan added 19:32 - Nov 20 Thought Lillis was nervy throughout and reacted badly to the first minute shot. Holness and Dawson didn't have their usual confidence at the back. Missed Barry-Murphy in the middle although can't fault Jonah for workrate (a few wayward passes can be forgiven if you try) and deserved the goals. A couple of moments of good play by Thompson does not make an impressive display (official web site report) as still spends most of the time in his own world wondering why things are passing him by (Jonah, please advise him what effort is). Credit to O'Grady for his usual battling and hold up play and Grant could be the extra bit up front we need (Elding, are you watching).

jdalec added 20:02 - Nov 20 Agree with previous comments, Thompson once again AWOL for long periods of game couldn't quite get my head around the substitution bringing Grant (who was throwing his heart and soul into it) off and leaving Thompson on. Time to wake up Keith, Thompson is CRAP!!!

crazyface added 08:37 - Nov 24 I have never ever seen a more inept tatical team selection than last night. Three centre halves holding hands, five across the middle, with Bolland playing on the right and Chalmers on the left. Reid was in the middle!? Bolland got sucked into his natural position of centre leaving a huge gap for Cheltenham to run into on their left side. Reid never got into the game at all. Draper was all over the place without Bolland by his side so we had nothing in the middle of the pitch. Hamza was left on the bench due to a twisted ankle apparently, but we were in such a mess he was brought on at half time. If he was fit enough for the bench he was fit enough to start. He didn't show any signs of injury whilst he was playing. Sinclair? Utter garbage. He runs as quick as a greyhound but greyhounds can't play football can they? Eh? Eh? Barnett worked his socks off but I'm afraid he missed a couple of sitters because he is not a natural goalscorer. We lost due to the fact Simoo made some very very bad tatical errors and showed us that he is not up to the job. Loads there due to the promotion and Simoo messed up big style. They won't be back. Another huge opportunity missed. Also I've vowed to miss the next home game if Sinclair is selected. I cannot watch such a pile of poo in my home teams shirt again. Just think of all the great Macc players who have worn the number 9 shirt in the past. It's a disgrace that he even gets on the pitch. Nope that's it for me, never ever again until Simmo goes or stops selecting Sinclair to start.

LostBoys added 09:56 - Nov 24 Missed chances again but another very good overall performance. A few still below their best - Lambert and Lallana particularly.

We shouldn't get to down on the team, after all we still won, we still need a goal scorer, Mooney is quality if we can sign him, but we could still do with another one besides, get rid of Liam Henderson. Perhaps if we got more fans at the games it would boost the team, whats happend to the fans the attendances seem to be getting less and less, the community stadium should be a formidable place for other teams to come to. We need to get more fans going to the games

antoknee64 added 13:04 - Nov 28 What a great game,Mackie,Smith and Tarradt didnt have their best games but because of our solid defence and Derry & Faurlin Cardiff looked no threat to Kenny atall. Connolly for me was my MOTM he showed matureity,calmness and class when the Midget and Boothroyd were trying every trick to get passed him.Even when Chopra came on nobody in defence panicked and took care of all their attacks. Fantastic atmosphere and even being stuck in X-block was a pleasure,kept those Sheep-shaggers quite for most of the game,had a laugh when they scored and 2 15yr old boys took their shirts off in the Lower School end,one had is shirt off hes skinny frame in seconds and hes fat mate just got hes shirt off in time for the re-start,row of 6 girls in front of me were laughing their heads off at them,funny moment. So proud to be QPR and sorry to all R-block mates for leaving you for one game.

RBlock added 19:07 - Nov 28 @JFK im not sure about a slice of luck, i believe we overcame various bad luck to get the result. Its true that Bothroyd should have had a penalty after Connolleys challenge, but early on Tarb's cross was blocked by a blatent hand ball. We were extremely unlucky not to get a 3 in the 90th, and had Clarke gone down as Adel would have im sure a penalty would have been given. Their goal was a clear offside call also. Cummmonnnn youuuu supeeeeeer

onedalefan added 20:26 - Nov 28 As much as I don't wish an injury on anyone, Thompson going off was the best thing to happen to us and suddenly we had 11 men on the pitch who realised that they could compete. Were you watching Mr.Hill, please give Matt Done a chance to show what he can do as he ran his socks off all match. Lets stop the pretty football, get at the opposition from the start. If we can keep Adams and Grant for longer, lets get the ball forward and with Jones supporting, the goals are going to come and with Dawson and Holness (the find of the season) the defense will look after itself.

Lazarus added 07:46 - Nov 29 Excellent result, but a few things stick in my mind: Faurlin being outmuscled in midfield. He's a bit too small for the likes of Olofinjana. Taarabt trying to go through the middle rather too often, and taking a (blocked) shot, rather than passing. Bellamy splitting the defence a few times. He's a tw*t, but impressive on the day. Cardiff's kick and run tactics - after Dave Jones saying during the week that's how the R's play, while his boys play on the floor. The fantastic atmosphere. 'Shame it can't be like that for every match. The best team won!!!

He led the line well ---- the whole team managed to follow his example and didn't bother turning up. It looked as if they were all suffering from the Christmas party season.

crazyface added 08:34 - Dec 13 MTFC stunned the home crowd by actually scoring a goal early doors, but were soon made to pay by a fairly innocuous Gillingham team who looked at one point that all they had to do to score was put the ball into the Macc penalty area. The blame for this shocking performance is Simmo's and no other. He is tactically inept and has players playing in wrong positions. Nsala playing at right back FFS. He should be in the centre of the defence so that Bench can play in midfield. Lowe could have filled in at either full back position. Draper? God knows where he was supposed to be playing. At one point I thought he was our striker! Vinni? Again god knows where he was playing, I don't think even he knew. Least said about Sinclair the better. Why isn't Wedgebury given a game? Butcher came on into the second half and then vanished into thin air. We have a little £1 bet on the actual score every week and by 3.19pm we were all out of it. Simmo should be replaced before I am sent to the nut house. We are in the position we are in due to a little run we had, and now we are on another. Three losses on the bounce is not the way to be going into the Xmas period. All this has been coming a long time and we will have to start looking at teams below us again instead of the play-offs, which is where we were only three weeks ago, WITHOUT Sinclair. Sack Simmo NOW.

Doughnut added 21:36 - Dec 18 Bitter weather at Elland Rd. and a bitter scorline. Didnt think our strikers posed any threat, especially in the second half and they seemed comfortable winners. Gorkss made a bit of a leggy mess, which let Gradel in for the first. Didn't dominate midfield in any way and the attack was a bit of a wet lettuce. It would appear that the rest of the Championship has sussed out how to play us. Paddy was motm for me, which says a lot about our performance.

I_Saw added 10:17 - Dec 19 Well we could have won. Had Pearson scored. Had Moore scored. Had we played the Second Half Team First. Had Bywater came rather then starting, stopping then being caught in no mans land for the second goal. Had we..... All "Had We's" of course, all choices, continually making the wrong ones, after being lucky with Shefki Kuqi, we are now unlucky, rub of the green against us... So Nigel says afterwards there's no one better at six foot three in the air than Luke Moore..... Why do I feel like a mushroom? Perhaps Luke's a pilot, that might make sense! Yesterday we lost because Long took his chances, rode his luck, we didn't. Long went down easily but then so does Kris Commons, you want your players to, you howl when the opposition do.... partisan passions. Add a Tweetie- Pie referee who "Taut I Taw a Pussycat" in imaginaging free kicks for pushes and fouls that existed only in his mind. Not that he was biased he just thought he saw things that weren't there. So we lost. Will we win next week? Will Pearson start? Will Davies be back? Will Luke Moore win a header? One thing for sure we will all have a little groan with at least one element of the team selection come Doncaster....if the last few weeks are anything to go by.

"STAND UP FOR THE MANAGER"

SomersetHoops added 14:46 - Dec 28 I'm in France; coming over here after watching the super game on boxing day so could only watch by jerky internet. For me MOM was Paddy Kenny who kept us in it in the first half where without two superb saves from him we could have been two down. Kyle Walker runs him a good second and I was glad to see Taarabt's excellence being better integrated into the team. From what I could see Matt Conolly and Ali Fourlin both had good games.

Everthing crossed that we can extend Walkers contract.

NorwayRanger16 added 20:56 - Dec 28 I struggle to separate Kenny and Walker in this one, but have to give it to Kenny. Without his saves we would have gone in at halftime trailing, and most likely lost the game. Very un-QPR like we broke some barriers today: 1: QPR had lost the last 5 games played on the 28. of december. 2: First time Coventry lost two consecutive home games in about two years. 3: First away team to keep a clean sheet at the Ricoh Arena this season. 4: Won in front of the Sky cameras (practise actualy helps :-)) I set myself a target of 3 points from the games against Coventry and Norwich, it's better than two draws, meaning a point or three would be a real bonus at Carrow Road. Going for the same result as New years day 1992, 1-4 and Mackie to get his first hat-trick, you R's!

SomersetHoops added 17:23 - Jan 1 I can't give any meaningful report on this game as I'm in France and could only hear the radio commentary, but I can comment on the team we put out. Derry has said his legs feel like lead during games, so why don't we give him a rest and let Rowly play. Why does NW not rate him - he has been good for us in this kind of game and could have added a bit of a spark that may have been missing. Mackie was hardly mentioned in the commentary and when he was it was in defence no wonder we didn't get anything from this game. If we have a squad? - this was the time to use it instead of trotting out the same tired legs. Of course I shouldn't be too critical of NW - It could be worse we could be where Cardiff are from being above us not long ago. I am only concerned that prejudice is excluding some players who could give a good performance if given the chance.

0

Dalenet added 17:23 - Jan 1 Goodness me. We don't half make it hard for ourselves. But a pleasing 3 points against a Tranmere team that were generally poor and got away with murder. Had we thrown that away I would question whether we were strong enough for Div 1, but I think we are.
0

jdalec added 20:01 - Jan 1 Quite a hot tempered affair. I think Tranmere are one of the poorest sides we have seen this season and we should have won by a greater margin, unfortunately we did our usual thing of we are 2-1 up everyone stay behind the ball lets defend deep and invite the opposition on to us. Got to get our killer instinct back. Jones was excellent which is just as well as Kennedy and Barry-Murphy are not pulling their weight.

qpr_ox added 23:10 - Jan 1 Helguson peppered with long balls against a 6ft+ defence was never going to work. We looked more attacking in the second half with a man less. At least we took the ball under control and passed it around. But Clarke, why oh why Warnock? He looks awful. Can't jump, can't pass, can't cross. He's been given a go, don't choose him again. My biggest worry for 2011 is the absence of Taarabts. A bad challenge, a slip in training, or a trip down the stairs of the team coach, and we could do a Cardiff. Our team strategy is solely based around him. However, get something from the game on Tuesday and we'll all forget about this problem until the next defeat.

harleymaxwell added 10:23 - Jan 2 well i said after the 2 defeats v watford and leeds when taraabt was subbed and it happened again here - he is the only man in the team that can turn a loss into a draw or a win , these players have to be on the pitch in losing situation - better off starting without him and bringing him on in some of these tricky away games after all we would have taken a nil nil

0

SomersetHoops added 12:43 - Jan 2 Lambert gets credit for changes forced upon him and was lucky being forced to include players that would not have been first choice, but performed very well against our tired and overworked team. I agree with haleymax that it would have been better to start without Taarabt and bring him on when he could have the most impact. I know the saying goes 'don't change a winning team', but when games come at three day intervals it is necessary to evaluate who has the energy for the next game and consider the whole squad. The one change we were forced to make was Leon Clark who didn't seem to have been an improvement. This would have been a good opportunity to test some of our underused squad members and other ways of playing, as looking at the stats our normal team and tactics left us short of the sparkle and energy to consistently take the game to Norwich. We are not yet good enough to pick a team without considering the strengths and weaknesses of the opposition.

0

antoknee64 added 13:10 - Jan 2 NW is a genious and i praise him for all hes done already,but for the life of me i dont understand this Leon Clarke obsesion thing,he was such a liability to us and when Norwich scored Hil put in a great block on the first shot then Clarke was no where nere their right back (who he should of been marking) and when he shot Clarke turned hes back,everytime he received a pass he played it back too Hill,rubbish.He maybe great in trainning but he just cant make the grade in our team,its a crying shame to see players like Rowlands,Ephraime even Orr left on the bench for the likes of Clarke.Also Norwich had the upper hand as they changed 7 outfield players who were clearly more fresh legged than some of our players,NW should of rotated the squad occasionaly during the Xmas hectic schedule.

jfk added 18:34 - Jan 3 We looked very good for periods - if a bit tired in places - and really should have been well ahead before the end. Hulse was ok as the target man for balls played forwards, but his finishing is apalling at the moment. I think the ref was going to send their defender off when he gave the penalty, but then realised it was Hulse he fouled so it couldn't be called a clear goalscoring opporutunity.

0

BromleyHoop added 19:27 - Jan 3 I thought Hill played really well as replacement for Connolly; he won everything in the air and Stead didn't really get a sniff. It was a shame for him that the one error he made all afternoon led to their first goal. I must admit I've got a bit of an issue with Hulse. He made some good headed flick ons but, for someone of 6'2 or 3' he doesn't get off the ground enough. He waits for the ball to come to him as opposed to Helgusson who really attacks the ball and wins far more in the air than he ought to. I can't help but think that if Helgusson was playing he'd have put one of the headed chances away. Bristol hardly deserved to score one goal let alone two, we were by far the better side. Special mention to Paddy Kenny whose save from Cambell Ryce was outstanding.

0

billericaydicky added 20:01 - Jan 3 Agree with the comments about Hill, he had a great game until the bad error gave them their first goal. But for me Orr was the main culprit when he tried to be clever at the end and head the ball back to Kenny and gave the first corner away (which then lead to the 2nd corner and their equaliser). It should have been whacked into Ellerslie Rd. Hulse worked hard, but couldn't hit a barn door at the moment. Taarabt was superb again and really put a shift in. It certainly feels like a defeat and hopefully now we can bring a couple of players in and ship a few out.

0

jdalec added 20:01 - Jan 3 Well earned 3 points at Boundary park. Can anybody explain what Joe Thompson contributed against Tranmere to warrant a start today?? He did absolutely nothing for Dale today and it was a blessed relief when he was subbed. Time to start playing with 11 men Keith!!!
0

harleymaxwell added 23:48 - Jan 3 agree that Orr was at fault for the equalizer - Orr in fact had a poor game all round, crossing passing and distribution not good. Never felt we would win the game as we looked shaky down the wings and large gaps often in midfield as for the refs for all their tin god attitude how on earth can this one let Kenny where an all black kit which matches his own!! Its time these refs were assessed negatively for colour clashing with goalies Take Taraabt out the team and we are very ordinary, NW could rue taking him off early in games we were losing, Watford Leeds Norwich - lets hope not

0

headhoops added 12:32 - Jan 4 Definately two points dropped. My opinion: Kaspars needs a long term partner (with pace) The midfield needs strengthening. Too often Ali and Derry are overwhelmed, they are a fantastic pairing - image scott parker/stephen ireland or a fully fit Rowly in there too? Yesterday we played 4 up front leaving big gaps in midfield - the same was true for Swansea - they strode through and shot at will - fortunately the words hit/cow/backside and Banjo applied. Plus we have Paddy - enjoyed his 'advice' given to Walker. We have to sign Walker - he's been outstanding - I would also look at putting him in midfield. Up front, Mackie and Heidar. Hulse is not as mobile and his finishing is appalling. He's 6ft 3ins tall and when he leaps he's 5ft 6ins. Adel is, well Adel - ten minutes of sulking drives you mad then ten seconds of brilliance and its all forgotten. First on the teamsheet. Go 4-3-1-2 with Paddy Orr Connolly Kaspars Hill Walker Ali Derry Tarbs Mackie Helguson happy days.

0

PinnerPaul added 13:54 - Jan 4 Can't agree at all that this was "Same as Swansea" - BC had far less possession and were far less dangerous than Swansea. My next door neighbour at LR yesterday agreed with me that Clint Hill won 127 headers and the one he mucked up they scored! 2nd goal agree was a comedy of errors staring with Gorkss miskick, followed by Kenny not either calling for the ball himself on telling Orr he had time, either way Orr should not have conceded the first corner. Mackie actually had a tocuh on the ball but allowed Campbell Rice the shot (WHAT! a save that was!) and then partly because Damion was up we had 5 big men to mark and weren't organised enough to do so. Shots stats are interesting we had 6 on target, as did BC but we had 14 off , they had none!

As far as a football match , why when we are in a situation were we are 1-1 do we pull EVERY man deep to defend corners, free kicks etc ??? We never leave a single player in the centre circle and guess what? Thats right if and when we do clear it the ball comes straight back. Basic football. At least we weren't shot shy today. 3 points against managerless Bournemouth please.

channonite added 17:26 - Jan 16 Slightly frustrating day. We, not for the first time, couldn't work out how to unlock the opposition. Enjoyable watching the battle of wits. County played well and could have nicked the game at the death. These are the types of game we have been losing up until recently, but it was still two points lost that we could regret. We missed Lallana and the injury to Chaplow upset us more than a bit. We can ill afford to lose Chamberlain if Lallana is out for any length of time.

onedalefan added 19:51 - Jan 16 Keith, the ref said it was playable so play to the conditions. As much as I like good football, if it needed hitting long, do it. There was too much 'pretty football' at the back when it wasn't possible and the players should have been told this. Fair play to Orient who also appeared to want to play decent football and normally this would have been ideal for us but they adapted better. I agree with the comment above, why do we bring everyone back for a corner (Dickinson on the post, O'Grady in the area) with no outlet when we clear. All in all, a fair result.

Felt sorry for the groundstaff trying to mop up the main stand side with the mobile squeejee's, mission impossible!. Worse still we picked up a cople of injuries to two players who were handling the conditions better than some in Adams and Kennedy. Hope they are not too serious.

durham_exile added 23:49 - Jan 22 Well I still haven't seen Colchester win at the Galpharm but they came mighty close today. A point was fully deserved but we could have had more. Kayode Odejayi was within a whisker on two occasions of scorin g the winner and looked strong and certainly worth a start at the Withdean on Tuesday. As you would expect Huddersfield were under pressure to atone for the debacle at Brunton Park in the JPT and were fiirng on all cylinders early doors. Colchester's defence were more than equal to the threat and although Williams had saves to make they failed to put the U's under sustained pressure. Ben Coker in only his second game looks assured and shows a confidence in his play that has already made Tierney redundant. Heath and Rio are forming a strong partnership and Lee Beevers (Mr versatile) performed very well and once he begun to tire made way for John White. In midfield, Andy Bond didn't have one of his strongest days but could have scored in the first half. David Perkins was once again a terrier (no pun intended) and won many duels that he had no right to win. Ashley Vincent unfortunately tires but shows that hsi pace can unsettle defences. Mooney works tirelessly and covers every blade of grass (on what was a heavy pitch) but is lacking confidence at present having failed to score recently. Woody was in and out of the game and didn't get the chance to take any trademark freekicks. The captain is struggling at present and I would like to see Lloyd James play in his place from the start. The Colchester faithful were largely quiet today as the Pink Link stand reverberated to the Huddersfield faithful who were noisy for 80 minutes out of the 90. Prat of the day - Huddersfield Town manager who did his best to imitate Mancini of Man City complete with scarf - he never achieved it and his constant moaning and berating players and officials was tiresome in the extreme. Disappointment - the league table never lies except when we have played three games less than many of our rivals. When the 46 games have been played we will comfortably be in one of the top six positions. Now we want Wilson and O'Toole back and fit and quick. Up the U's

0

GRUMPYRAM added 08:54 - Jan 23 Another poor showing, this time in a typical local derby. We seemed to have no plan other than to either hump the ball up to Porter (who is clearly not up for the job) or rely on a lucky bounce in one of Bueno's dribbles. Several players were well off the pace and the side is crying out for investment from the Yanks, not just lower league players and loan signings. I know confidence is low at the moment, not only with the players, but also with the crowd many of whom arrived expecting a wupping. There are three poorer teams than us in this league so I do not forsee relegation as a problem, but I do not think there will be any improvement in our league position come May. I fear there will then be a mass exodus of season ticket holders for next year. Whilst I do not have much faith in Nigel and his coaching staff, to replace him would use up a lot of cash (which, unexplainedly, we appear to have none of) and I cannot see a replacement out there who is realistically going to come to a club. I believe the answer is 100% down to the yanks to abandon whatever their plan is and start injecting some cash in for decent players. Ben Davies, especially in the circumstances, was our only player to come out with credit for us, whilst the defence in general was not too bad against a pacy forward line.

bloberts added 19:53 - Jan 23 was at the game have to say i didn't think it was good as everyone was saying... i thought we got a bit sucked into there game of hoofing it which only worked when miller came on Coventry were poor as i expected and unfortunatly there only good player seemed to be ''cough'' Marlon King Both new signings look quality taarabts goal was superb, as was Routledge's referee was truly horrendous unfortunatly strange choice by sky to put both coventry games live on sky while neither the swansea, cardiff or norwich game on

crazyface added 10:42 - Jan 24 As I expected it turn out to be a relegation dogfight type of game. Barnet were awful and shouldn't be even in this league. Unless Paul Fairclough pulls another miracle off they will go down. We should have won comfortably but for some shocking finishing. Barnett could even hit the target after having the ball rolled invitingly into his stride just inside the penalty area and Sinclair also missed the target when bursting though a collander Barnet defence at the end. The bast player on the pitch was Issac Reid who tried his best to provide our "strikers" with enough opportunities to score that they might actally get one in. Awful game.

SomersetHoops added 18:01 - Jan 24 I was a bit under the weather so unusualy for a weekend home game took the lazy way by watching this game on sky. I did write an earlier report, but was not on top form so lost it. Anyway, it was great to see how Wayne Routledge slotted straight into the team and scored a super goal from a superb pass by AT. They gave Wayne MOM on tv, but I think it was a close call between Derry and AT for me with WR a close third. Its interesting how you get a different perspective on tv and I could see the superb work Derry does and a super shot which deserved a goal - only a top class save by Westwood saved it. Ish Miller looked good, sharp and drew another Westwood class save. He looks the most like a 'proper striker' that we've had since Paul Furlong. HH has been looking as if he is carrying an injury and Hulse has been about as sharp as a bannana, so we need Miller to stay fit and sharp and lead the line. I'm very pleased we've got Routledge for all the reasons we agree on, but he is not Jamie Mackie and we should not expect him to track back as Mackie did to the detriment of his goalscoring in my opinion. This means particularly Gorks and Conolly need to stay 'on station' more because there is no Makie to cover their errors - glaring in the case of the Marlon King goal. I could have bet on King getting that goal and the only way to have prevented was if I had put £20 on him to score first - in which case he probably would have scored last. Even if his goal had won the game I would still not want King at LR and the fans gave him an appropriate reception. I don't go into many games expecting a win, but I did for this one and all credit to Coventry for a great performance - other teams are going to find them tough to beat if they continue to perform like they did on Sunday

bridgem added 08:58 - Feb 2 Another sad evening, poor tactics, poor team and thinking about Division 1. Sick of played a lone striker at home and Porter well no more comment. No surprise we failed again, cannot keep a clean sheet in fact we need two for a draw these days, see Chris Riggott has no club surely he would add experience and some class, oh sorry he may want £100 per week so he will not be coming

HantsR added 09:57 - Feb 2 The first half was frustrating as Portsmouth came clearly focused on stifling our attack, mainly by giving the likes of Taarabt and Routledge no room to play. This led to a less attractive approach all round and few quality passing movements. Kitson beat Connolly to most headers and Miller, after initially shining, was mainly subdued. Many clearances were sliced or otherwise mis-timed and this even included a wild kick by Kenny although Orr is the one that stands most in mind. Derry wasn't as effective as usual and Ephraim was typically lightweightand naive when unable to use his pace. In the midst of all this, Faurlin worked hard to gain posesssion and try some decent distribution - his left-foot shot was probably the best of the first half. The game turned in the second half when Taarabt got a bit more of the ball and started to alternately tease the opposition and frustrate our supporters. Once, beating 3 then turning left and spurning the obvious ball right to Hogan, gnashings of teeth could be heard. Shortly after that, a bit more selfishness when most of us were on the point of metaphorically throttling him culminated in smart snap shot that may have surprised Ashdown who let it slip from his grasp and into the net. Whether it was Pompey hanging heads or simply realising that they now had to chase the game - it opened up and made for a much better game. Taarabt's free kicks looked well-paced and threatening but I wish he had let Faurlin try his left foot again rather than Tarb's lame rihgt foot shot over the bar. However, a subsequent corner was deservedly headed home by Clint Hill. Pompey could have had at least two goals but decided to shoot higgh and wide; when they managed to get a shot on target, Kenny showed amazing agility to tip several efforts over when I was in the numb anticipatory state said to be experienced by quarry species when the predator is about to deliver the coup de grace. A hard-won victory and I guess this is the pattern that opposition teams will adopt when our attack can be devastating when given the chance.

billericaydicky added 11:38 - Feb 2 I agree that Faurlin was outstanding tonight, but I'd give MoM to Clint Hill. He threw himself into challenges and epitomises the never say die attitude that Warnock likes to have in his players. And he scored as well. If we ever need to swop things around at the back he can play at centre half with Chimbonda at left back.

headhoops added 11:45 - Feb 2 Faurlin was excellent, Kenny once again playing his part. Taarabt is Taarabt and we love him. Who else would have the vision to beat three players, have a team mate completly unmarked and in on goal - only to look up realise it was Ephraim and decide it wasn't worth putting him through. He (Ephraim) would have just turned back and played to ball to Orr. Miller is looking better with each game, whilst Hulse appears to be afflicted with first touchitus and goalscorers block. Most visitors from now on will play like Pompey with a back 5 and 4 in midfield - we have got to get used to it.

toemasher added 17:24 - Feb 2 Agree with most comments but feel I have to give Hogan his due. I think he had a terrific game and worked hard especially with it being a return to form for him. Loved Cotterills comments, ha ha ha, long may they play better than us!

cmbann added 12:51 - Feb 5 Very impressed with the fitness of Faurlin Derry and Routledge. Faurlins passing was faultless. Qpr was a little unfortunate with the last man issue and i think Hogan deserved the red.Good team effort which showed a lot of character.Kenny made good saves but he would be expected to make those saves. Taraabt is starting to know when to release the ball to his team members - a big club will come in for him so we must accept his presence as short term only. The only negatives was Hogans lack of discipline and at times Bradleys passing was poor. However, the link up play was good and the defending was excellent.The fitness coach should be given a bonus this week because Reading look like the team with ten men.

SheffieldSteve added 14:13 - Feb 5 Agree that Faurlin was the 'man of the match', can see why on tv they gave it to Routledge, the goal (so shallow ;-). The team played very well overall, still don't understand why Hulse is having problems settling in, missed a good chance to score with a header early on. I never felt we would lose the game from the start, though. Great to have another 3 points, and the double over the fake hoops, with only 10 men for over 50% of each match. U Rs!!

NorwayRanger16 added 15:54 - Feb 5 Fantastic feeling last night! Ever so proud of our beloved team. Agree Faurlin was brilliant, but i'm backing Sky for the MOM. Routledge deserves it, the goal of course tipping it in his favour, which by no means was an easy one, well taken and credit to Faurlin for a perfectly weighted pass. But what really impressed me and why i believe he deserved it the most was his tracking back and the cover he gave Orr, together they had McAnuff under controll throughout. Lets hope that we get some results going our way before Forest next sunday :-)

jfk added 19:42 - Feb 5 Fantastic result. I thought Hill had a good game too, especially after being booked so early on. Great to see the team going for the win at 10-man (again). Faurlin was excellent, and it's a real boost to have Taarbs and Routledge giving us options up front. If Hulse could only remember how to score, we'd be laughing even more than we are now.

Lazarus added 08:48 - Feb 7 I'm hoping not to sound too much like a stuck record, but the ref was truly useless. He missed so many pushes, etc., as well as giving several free kicks in the second half that neither side were expecting. I had the misfortune to sit with the Reading fans, and was thoroughly irritated by their constant braying for free kicks and bookings as their men once again hit the deck under strong - but not dirty - challenges. It was the same last year, and the same at Loftus Road. It is a tactic they seem to employ against the R's, knowing that it is their team's only chance of beating us. Such a well deserved result!! :-)

pnc4eva1 added 17:08 - Feb 9 Rather a poor first half with little to remember apart from Dale having two good attempts compared to Rovers one. The rest was pretty forgettable. The second half was better but neither team appeared to threaten too much until the first goal and the sending off. Dale then allowed Rover's best player too much time on the ball. The management did change the formation and go 442 to a greater effect. This resulted in Dale scoring two goals in injury time. The first was heavily contested by the player stood on the line who insisted that Akpro (guilty of a bad miss earlier) was offside. as Rovers attempted to equalise they were ripped to shreads by Done who finished well

jdalec added 19:16 - Feb 9 About time we put 3 past somebody. Can't understand why Matty done hasn't featured more this season?? He can make things happen and has pace with or without the ball. Lack lustre performance from Kennedy & Barry Murphy, Akpa miss was horrendous. Wiseman was excellent as was Dawson. Bring on Sheff Weds for some much deserved revenge!!!

jdalec added 19:43 - Feb 12 Revenge is a dish best eaten cold. Best performance of this year no doubt about it. The eleven we played with after Done came on (altering the game) is without doubt our most exciting and strongest line up. Done, Atkinson, Adams, Holness, Dawson, Wiseman all exciting young players who I believe may just take us to within snatching distance of a play off place HEAVEN!!! We are still in Hillcroft heaven

winchesterbob added 11:29 - Feb 13 Just for the player ratings if nothing else, although Dickson was in the original team list announced at around 2pm that was later ammended to Jaidi who in fact did play at centre back. I think the sending off had an adverse effect on Saints as Carlisle switched from a less open game and just tried to hit us on the break. The balance down the left was disrupted a bit and affected, Harding, Chaplow and Lallana with the the new man N'Gussen in the side, but he looks a decent player and when he settles in looks like a good signing. It looks like more sides are sticking a couple of defender on Alex O-C and he could do with a rest from the starting line up for a few games if only to save him from some of the battering he got yesterday. Forte looks lightening quick and if he can control the ball and get crosses into the box will be a good addition Main thing was three more points..COYR
