It's alright. If you've reached that age where you have a little nap in the afternoon you can tell us. We've all done it.

Watching QPR in the past, I have at times felt a nap would be more productive, but it's hard to stretch the legs out at LR! This time, I had a call from an old schoolfriend and had to say through gritted teeth, no, you're not disturbing anything...
 
I think they can. Now that Fernandes has been told to sit on the naughty step and stop indulging his fantasy that he is a born entrepreneur we are thankfully far better off than many other clubs in the Championship, Slowly but surely we are reaping the benefit of a lot of hard work by looking at managers as long-term investments, someone to develop and build a team rather than buy a new one each year. We all know, including Warburton, what still needs to be done and where the weak links are. Who would have guessed that in spite of parting company with Eze and our other goal scorers last season we would actually improve our position this.

Sticks in the craw to say it but that is the Brentford model as my son keeps reminding me.

This is what I don't get with Wednesday..... apparently they had 18 attempts on goal but only 2 on target.... we had 9 attempts on goal and 6 on target....

Maybe the 2 on target explains why they are where they are..... other than that they looked a decent side.... if they go down I'd take Bannon in a heartbeat....
 
Actually I reckon that's the worst game I've seen Johansen have for us. I really like him, but he kept giving the ball away today.
I suppose Dykes should get MOTM for his two goals and a good display, but I'd give it marginally to Willock, who had a superb game.
He's looking more effective than Chair imo.
To be fair I didn’t see the game, so bow gracefully to your viewing of the game Col - which is always a good guide. His speculative shot and goal certainly put the pressure in SW to push for a goal and it looks as though we did well to take advantage. Great to see us take our chances though and get a good result.
So would you keep Johansen for next season if we had the option and could afford him Col?
Same question for DeWijs?
 
I am eating a large slice of humble pie and may have to go back for seconds. 999's, I was the idiot who suggested that Rhodes could have been a good signing for us in Jan, however I did not think for one minute we would get Charlie back. Rhodes has usually done well against us which was the thought process behind the suggestion. Also, I predicted the Superhoops getting beated 3 -1 at home, after our poor performance against Forest last week.
Well, you all now know I know nothing about the beautiful game.....although I have been saying we have a player in Dykes and just needed time..
I think I may yet have a second slice of pie...but will wash it down with a beer - a celebratory beer or two.
Enjoy the weekend.
 
A great result. :)

I listened to the match commentary whilst doing some gardening in the sunshine. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable afternoon.

I cannot comment on our play, but I am very pleased that we are scoring goals - especially for Dykes!

When is the next match? I will need to do some more week weeding?

Have a great weekend!

Not sure about de wijs, but I'd definitely take Johansen.

Yep...7pm kick off though, so should still be enough light for some gardening.
 
Well done the team and Warburton. Another good win with good determination shown.

Delighted for Dykes and Willock, both did really well. There were other good performances from Barbet, Dickie, Adomah amongst others. Happy Saturday :1980_boogie_down:
Huge improvements in both Dykes and Willocks performances this season. All credit to them, Warburton and the coaches, Austin too. Same could be said of Dickie and Wallace

The idiot I was referring to was me Ninj. I'm glad to have you as company though. <smooch>

Am I right in saying that Dykes two goals were his firsts from open play at the KPFS? One at each end if so, nice.
