Match Day Thread QPR v Aston Villa

Five defenders, one striker and an attacking midfield...hardly like we have 11 men behind the ball.

 

We need a good result today, c'mon uuuuu rrrrrrr'ssssss

 

We are perhaps a bit lucky to get away with that penalty shout against Lynch.

 

Bit much to say we are "going for it" though, isn't it?

 

I'd have been aggrieved if it had been given given Washington's was not

 

I've found over my years of watching Rangers that blind optimism helps a lot. From watching online, just seems like there is a big gap between our defence and strikers.

 

I am really not a fan of playing Washington up front on his own, it just doesn't work. Just like it didn't work we when we played Austin in the same role.

 

Shoot me in the face with a massive gun. Just clear the ****ing ball you stupid ****.

 

Here we go... saved!

 

Smithies for England

 

I love Smithies!

 

Now a soft penalty against us from the ref who has dished out 12 this season.

Smithies to the rescue!

 

Imo it doesnt matter if Washington plats up top on his own or with a striking partner..hes just hasnt enough ability to score enough goals..now theres a cue to prove me wrong..blind optimism kicking in !

 

Hopefully we can build some momentum from this.

 

Commentator - "Washington had done well until crossing it" - we need our BFG on to support him.

 

Haha, completely agree mate. We've never been a team where playing one up front works in my book. Class penalty save from smithies

 

Agreed

 

He runs the channels and hassles well which someone like Polter or Sylla need a partner to do. There's then no one to cross to. It needs the wingers to support. Neither so far is doing much at all

 

Is Yeni actually on the pitch?

 

Bidwell isn't good for anything apart from first prize in a Paul Konchesky lookalike contest
