Just in from being out all evening caught half time score. Then just seen the result. W T F happened there!! Hahahahahaha. Two wins in the bounce! Willock knocking in goals! 606ers talking a good half! Six points in a week! Marti has us on the up … and he wants more. I’m off for another celebratory whisky over ice (gotta keep the tradition up now). Beth needs to start selling those beads at HQ to fans. Hoopsaaaaaaaa
Just got in from a night out, what a heart-warming sight to see that we won again and judging by the comments here, second half we did it in style. We seem to have our Rangers back!!!!
Too chilling a thought to like that...dare I say, I reckon Marti has a bit more, what are the words, loyalty and integrity?
Just watched the 2nd half back. That must be our best performance so far under Marti. We need to keep our feet on the ground and realise we're still in a world of ****e, but that was superb. We pressed and worked so hard to win the ball back and then we passed so well through the lines to get forward. No pissing about with the ball between the back four and even Dunne played a couple of lovely forward passes into midfield. Paal is excellent on the ball and I could see him being put into midfield permanently, especially as Larchywhatsisname looks good on the left. Willock looks reborn and was working really hard off the ball, plus he and Chair are starting to get that link up going again. Even Dykes played well as a target when needed. All in all a great performance where we passed Preston to death on a dodgy, frozen surface. However, the next few home games are vital to continue climbing up the table.
At 3 mins he says it worked well 'because they are good players, not because I am a genius'. That implies he believes he is a genius and, unlike many managers we've had who believed the same, he is!!! Serious love and respect for Marti. I really hope he takes us to the PL and leads us to becoming established there. I'd love to believe that in 10 years, he'll still be the QPR boss.
Quote from the gaffer: “Both Ilias and Chris [Willock] are very important players for us and we want them fresh for us so that they can make a difference.” "I think the plan worked very well - not because I'm a genius but because they are a very good players. That's a fact.” We had a clear tactical plan for this match, and it evidently worked. Well done to everyone!
When 5 subs were introduced I wondered how tactics would change. For some managers nothing changed, same like for likes or Plan B big man upfront on 70-80 minutes. There must be a thought for progressive managers about first and second half teams, changing the play and style as the game develops. As yesterday played out I thought we may be set up to defend the first half onslaught, deal with the conditions with a tight tackling defensive midfield and then introduce Chair to open the game as PNE got tired and frustrated and the pitch became easier to play on. Might be over thinking it but well done if that was the plan.
Well folks be lying if I said you didn't deserve to win, no complaints from me we were how you say Shucking Fite, anyway here's my take from a night in the cold https://www.not606.com/threads/queens-park-rangers-deepdale-1-12-2023.409888/#post-17154431
Oh what might have been if we'd been able to get Marti in after the Blackburn game. Still onwards and hopefully upwards.
That was like a breath of fresh air watching us play like that in the 2nd half & totally over run PNE, their manager thought different in the interview the fool, two wins on the spin but let’s keep our feet on the ground & see how we progress but looking promising
