    Obviously it won’t be appealed. I think the only argument was/is that there’s no consistency. I still think you see a yellow given for that in this league more often than not.

    It’s one of those that can not look too bad at a distance. Then you see the replay and it’s a nasty challenge. There wasn’t necessarily bad intent there but it was lunging, late and dangerous.

    The morning after the game thoughts from me.

    It was a clear red card, nasty challenge that could have been a lot worse.

    Saying that I alway felt we would get something from the game, first half we were a bit slow in attack but apart from their goal (well taken by their lad) we had another couple of gears to go up. Second half felt to me that we stepped up the pace and they couldn't cope, positive changes from the bench and in the end a comfortable win.

    Can't help seeing who we brought on and who's missing that will add to that and it feels like we are on the edge of something very special.

    Cirkin injured, Huggins came in and did a decent job, then alese to come back as well, dack injured, there's Pritchard, Jobe or Adil, Ekwah comes off, Neil plays the 6 role, Jobe drops a bit, Pritchard comes in and if anything makes us more an attacking threat. Burstow tires, there's Hemir, with Rusyn and Mayander as well.

    I'm going to enjoy the ride and it could be amazing

    Well worth a watch, these can be annoying but the lad does well imo ...

    ... excellent support and sang when we were losing.

    QPR didn't sing much when they were winning, they only have one song which sounded like 'come on yer arse' or something like that, sounds a bit gay tbh.

    I don't agree sorry he was late and high and if Jobe had not reacted a quickly and managed to take the impact on a bended knee it was quite possibly a leg breaker. If that had been one of our players I would just hold my hands up and have to accept it

    He gets in the right places and has the chances the goals will come and I thinknwhen they do we may have something special, here's hoping

    Yeah , seems to be better to bring him off the bench.

    Cracking day out in glorious sunshine. Great to meet up with friends again. Looking good @Smug in Boots and nice to meet you @RTB . Sindercombe pub was cracking as was the food. 1st half seemed to play in front of them and all a little to predictable. Great sub at half time.e by Mowbray and dominated 2nd half. Clarke had the full back dizzy. All in all a cracking day our and looking forward to Blackburn Wednesday night. Keep the faith lads and lasses. :1980_boogie_down:

    Top two for this lot imo.

    Can't wait to see them have a crack at Leicester.

    Thought yesterday was a good lesson for us for dealing with a physical side. Thought we were poor first half and played into their hands a bit. Stonewall red card helped us, settled us down and then we started playing our game. Second goal was lovely, delighted we kept pritch. Loved TM’s proactive sub at half time, winning mentality there to bring Roberts on for Huggins. Roberts and ba looked to have a good connection, reminded me a little of Roberts/diallo last season. A good 3 points on the road, canny competition for places being created which is what you want. Going down to Blackburn on Wednesday so hoping for another 3 points!

    How that can be anything other than red, is beyond silly.
