Probably said this before, so apologies. I know coaches who worked with Dodds at Brum and they love him. Apparently he is so easy to work with and loves helping players. I feel for him a bit, not convinced he is anywhere near head coach in terms of know how, but I would bet players will be wanting to win at all costs for him if they can.
I really wish fans would stop turning on him. We have a substandard choice of players and he is stepping up. The two together aren’t his making.
He’s a developmental coach not a head coach. The things is if we sacked him like some fans would want, he would be immediately picked up by an elite club to develop their talent.
Thanks for another brilliant match thread RTB. The amount of work you put into these is amazing. As for the game itself who knows what the starting 11 will be. Whoever it is we have to get behind them and give them our full support all game. There may well be a lot of inexperience on the pitch tomorrow and they will need the supporters with them. Any win would be great a point wouldn't be a disaster given the injury situation. Haway the lads and keep the faith lads and lasses.
Exactly, the players don't pick the team or decide where they're playing and Dodds didn't demand to be the manager ... ... it's our club and our shirt, I'll cheer even if Dodds plays CDM.
Cheers Here's the highlights from that glorious summer day, meeting up at the Sindercombe social , Smug with his fancy shopping bag I've still got the scar on my shin from scraping the seat in front as I jumped around celebrating Ballards goal
I'd flown down from Scotland, at the crack of dawn, so Mrs Smug insisted I wrapped up ... ... by the time I'd walked 6 miles across London I was gasping for a pint, the doorman almost didn't let me in cos I looked like a vagrant
Looks like being a 42,000 crowd announced including a contingent from Scotland. QPR have sold about half of their 2000 allocation which isn't the worst this season ... ... thought they'd perhaps bring more for what's a vital game for them.
I read earlier that Dodds had been moaning about the lack of experience at the club ... ... I've just listened to the press conference. Seriously, I really can't see how anyone could hear those words and come to that conclusion.
