Match Day Thread QPR vs Stoke

Means other results in our favour. Not a terrible afternoon in the light of that I suppose.

 

You must have a cracking diet then Os

 

I feel certain they've tried but failed fir whatever reason. Putting hope on Jan signings can lead to misery.

 

Well I got my better second half and dykes to boot. He played well, gave us a target, looked better up top. probably a fair result on reflection, lucky the ref was **** for both sides, they may have had a penalty at the end.
Stoke really are an ugly, uncultured, dirty side, the ghost of Pulis exists

 

20 shots, 5 on target and no goals. Sounds like another game in which the result didn't match the effort.

 

We were better but not many clear chances. Plus they stopped playing in order to waste time for a point on about 60 minutes, when they could have made a game of it, they were good first half. But that’s Alex Neil.

Chair was everywhere today again. Willock didn’t have his shooting boots on. Roberts looks good one moment, completely disinterested the next and by the second half he was in disinterested mode, should have been subbed earlier.

Field had his worst game for us that I can remember, little control and positioning a bit off.

 

Not getting in a proper striker ensures it !

 

Roberts stats don't lie, he was never the answer up top. Cover for the 2 better players we have ok bit why not start Bonne up top instead of him with Willock and Chair behind. I do hope it's not another case like Hendrick where we've brought in a loan player from a Prem club and have to play him whenever he's fit.

 

Next two games after the break are both away to Bristol City who've scored in every game and Sheffield United ! Gulp

 

I thought we played very well 2nd half, but our finishing let us down.

 

Nahki Wells has now scored 4 in 4 ! Ah dear, yiu just know

 

One of those games where it from beginning a 0-0, very physical & dirty side, 3 good chances for Willock, Dunn & Laird, oh well 4 points from last two games is ok but feel we dropped 2 today

 

We were mate, just couldn’t break them down due to their inability to stop fouling our players, it became a horrible game with the ref losing his patience and dishing out a few yellows, but yes we mullered them second half but couldn’t get the goal we deserved

 

You remember those games with Warburton when we played a first half against a team that just wouldn't let us play.... Or we played well in the first half and the opposition change formation at ht...and we didn't know what to do.

Well that did not happen today. Stoke contained us in first half, we were second best and likely to concede and lose.

HT..we changed, Dozzell off Dykes on...and we took over the match...we could have scored ..
Stoke were on the backfoot ..

We all know what would have happened if Stoke had scored ..well done Beale.
In the end a pleasing point

 

Actually I really need to say how immaculately the start of the match, laying of the wreaths and 1 minute silence was observed by both teams and both sets of supporters...

And how good the 70 minute clapping in honour of the Queen was also carried out. Both benches came to the touchline to join with the players and fans clapping during a break in play...beautiful and respectful

We football fans get a rough press, but today was rather solemnly magical. Well done all fans (Stoke and Rs) and also the teams

 

Wasn't able to follow game today as otherwise engaged in house renovation......

I suppose most of us would have taken 4 points out of 6 this week, so not all bad.......

 

Not sure where to post this, so here will do........

 

Imagine what they could do together

 

Disappointing result.

Predicted a 10-0 win for us and didn’t think l was asking for too much.

On a positive note, l did guess half the result and that we didn’t lose.

I guess a point is better than a kick up the backside.

Onwards & upwards.

 

We'd have taken 6th after 10 games right? Particularly after a shaky first few games.

We're laying solid foundations I reckon.
