I don't know, could be a few reasons, but I can't remember Willock or Albert doing more than 70 minutes in one game for us yet. Willock was visibly blowing after less. But possibly and hopefully they are fitter now.
I would prefer to see rested players on the bench - still part of the playing squad and ready for a 20 minute contribution if required. To quote MW these are still athletes. So unless they are on the cusp of injury, they still should/would want to be in the game even if rested and still contributing as a sub. Best of both worlds I would have thought - and still able to impact the game. Looking for us to bounce back to a 3-pointer today.
I saw an interview with Waarbs where he said that all his players were still giving everything....but in a couple the intensity had gone off. The player was still running in excess of 11.5 km and more than any other player , but the intensity of the runs had decreased and he was due a rest. I think he was talking about Chair
Birmingham are by far the most likeable of the four big-ish West Mids clubs. Hope they stay up only because they’re so permanently dreadful it’s a team we can finish above next season. They are absolute ****e though and a team we should be on the front foot for. Would like to see my dream back three of Barbet-Dickie-Kakay get a chance to allow us to play slightly higher but doubt that’ll happen.
No taking a draw today, or nicking a 0-1. Think a couple might be rested. So I want a win and no excuses.
Agree the Zulu's are in free fall and we need to take full advantage of it. Really need a win to keep the momentum going. Come on you R's
It feels good to have a QPR+ stream for those not in the “Dark Markets”. Let’s hope the good feeling stays for the whole weekend. COYR’s!!!
Yellow for Willock after he pulled a shirt near the half way line...they were moving forward but hardly in a dangerous position.
