One of my pub quiz team said when we were working out the various letters which have never been the starting letter for a club in the Prem. She said surely not Q. Now I’ve been banging on about QPR for at least the last thirty years. But somehow outside the collective radar of well known clubs.
My sons who have friends who support the bigger clubs are quite proud to be supporters of not one of the obvious teams.
Loved the article Dorse. |

Yes. I remember a couple of seasons ago asking that question how do you deal with teams that get behind the ball as we’ve consistently found it hard to play against. Middlesbrough seemed to float balls across the top and find gaps between the lines but you need really accurate passing for that.
Will be interesting to see what Stephan does when he’s got more time to prepare. Could be interesting if we can get Kone fit and Kolli back in the fold. |

And I get that. My point was you can choose any matches or metrics to support your case at such an early stage of the season. So I could say we’ve won more matches than Wrexham, Birmingham and former Premiership demotion Championship Champions Burnley, who haven’t won any games yet. And the same as Norwich and Millwall. Who’ve all probably got much more expensively assembled sides.
So yes it’s disappointing to not beat Bolton at home but it’s not a disaster. Nor is winning a couple of matches at this stage of the season mean we’re likely to be promoted either. Given that Hull didn’t start to consistently pull ahead into the playoffs until early December that seems like a more realistic cut off point. We don’t know how we’re going to do against the mid table and top six sides quite yet as we haven’t played enough of them. Nor have we played enough games with a week gap as so many of them have come in a two week window.
So while I really enjoy winning and am disappointed with drawing or losing I don’t think either mean anything quite yet in the context of a 46 match season. |

I was a bit encouraged by a couple of the balls in from Adamson. They really deserved someone getting on the end of them.
It may be wishful thinking but I do think we could click soon and give someone a tonking. But I hear what you’re saying about luck. |

The power of groupthink. Everyone worried that if you don’t follow the crowd you’ll be left behind.
I’m all for exploring complementary therapies including nutrition and psychological approaches, but there has to be some evidence base for it. It’s the latest big thing or we’ve always done it that way are neither very good ways to judge effectiveness. |

TBH I prefer it if people aren’t over-excited about our prospects because it turns every loss into a major catastrophe. Equally I don’t think we should throw the towel in either. Because by the same token as Bolton wining away at Norwich you could’ve chosen to see it as making our draw at home to Bolton not look so bad.
We’ve still only played eight matches. While I’ve got some hope we’ll be in the final eight at the end of the season I am certain there’ll be twists and turns. So I will enjoy wins and be excited but not think one win means we’ll be promoted. I’ll also be disappointed with losses but not think it means it’s all over.
Of course we have some things to be concerned about. But we also have a lot to be encouraged with: our new found fighting spirit not least of them. |

I was really disappointed in him too. Very easily shrugged off the ball a couple of times. And not really created anything. |

Horrible looking late tackle. Hope he’s okay. Hobbled off. |

Yes were people saying we shouldn’t play him before the match? Anyway it seemed on paper a good one to bring him back into. Players are always going to be a bit rusty after a break but you can only get match fit by playing. |
