    I thought he did ok and importantly allowed AA to go to AM

    Yeah, absolutely wouldn’t want him as first choice atm but the fact he allowed us to move AA was vital. We really do need a focal point striker.

    I thought he was (and is generally) poor. Often makes bad decisions that lose us the ball. Came on and strolled around without putting in any exertion in stark contrast to Fraser who came on and looked like he wanted to make a case for being in the team.

    I'm not going to allow myself to get too fond of RM yet, but he is saying all the right things. Our play really was quite lethargic at times yesterday, and the contrast when QPR got the ball, in terms of energy levels (quick bursts of pace, push and go etc), was very noticeable. It took us a minute or two to build up a half-chance, but then just ten seconds for them to create something actually dangerous.

    Got the subs spot on too.

    Enjoyed the win but wanted a third to ease the nerves having seen so many points dropped from similar positions.

    After the last few seasons we have had i couldn't agree more. Let the good times roll on and the balance sheet get larger.

    Seconded. I just don’t see what he offers. He doesn’t have the physical desire to impact championship games imo.

    I would be happy to cut our losses in him

    Looking at Twitter this morning Leicester fans think they’ve won the league already. Replied to one saying they haven’t even played anyone decent yet, don’t think he liked that :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Exactly, the half hour following the subs was what really impressed me

    Had a couple of meals there. Good food, good service, good prices. Parkham is a bugger to get into, with tiny lanes, high hedges and locals refusing to reverse for entitled tourists.

    You know I just checked and they haven’t played anyone top half.

    Still a bit early to talk of top and bottom halves…may be a sleeper or two awaiting their moment.
    Be an interesting test when we play Leicester.

    Just my opinion but I Don't think Leicester are that great.
    No decent depth in there attacking wise, I do think they'll come unstuck at some point.

    Would be glorious to put them down a peg or two.
    I'm more worried by Leeds, there front 4 is very good for this level.

    Draws with Norwich and Leicester would suggest we have nothing to fear in this league, but no reason to get cocky. So yeah, I’d take that.

    The atmosphere was awful yesterday. Norwich was much better. Was it the weather or the flat performance?

    We picked up in volume when we got better.
