    I’m still not convinced with Armstrong, doesn’t work enough imo, rarely wins anything in the air and rarely holds it up either.. just not sure what he brings..
    plus we tend to play long hopeful balls which breaks up any possession.. just my opinion

    I struggle to see what he brings, we really do need a striker for now, it’s well and good having 2 “for the future “ punts, but with Cornick not getting a look in, the only striker we have is 34 year old Nahki. At the very least I think we need a loan striker in January

    What a shock you pick on Vyner. We all know he’s not a RB, but is forced to play there. Not once have I seen you criticise Dickie for numerous poor performances in the past few weeks as a RCB, which is very clearly not his best position…. Let’s see Dickie at RB and see how he does…

    He always looks like he is lost in the wilderness looking for something unknown. There was one incident with him today and it was when he lost the ball and just stood there and made no attempt to get it back which somewhat mirrored the comments from QPR fans who said he was unbelievably lazy. Obviously Mayulu isn't going to get Sinclair's position and to just think about the wasted moolah we threw away for them it makes me wonder why we couldn't have done better? Twine is another who's transfer might be in question given that he doesn't look like he did last season here on loan. All in all a lot of if's and's and but's in for us to contemplate over New Year, which leads me to the potential transfer window business. Who do you think should, or will, leave and what type of players do we need so we have better rounded players rather than ordinary Joes? <cheers>

    I was over on their site earlier -they call us their bogey side <laugh> i thought first half they were the better side-second half and with Manning making the subs it changed the game towards us.
    Thought we were well worth the point come the end and three would have been justified.
    Great to see a response after that 3-0 dross down at Pompey.QPR home Saturday hopefully three more points on the board
    one thing i will say there is no standout side in the championship even Leeds who we drew with this season and sit top are nowhere near as good as previous sides we have played in the championship.

    It is all down to consistency over the season something we are not doing hence where we sit in the table.

    Not sure who's the worst at passing a football....Vyner or Max ?

    Seem to remember your very critical comments about Tanner.
    Now you can't wait for Tanner to get fit.
    We all can't....especially Vyner.

    I have admitted many times how
    much Tanner has come on in the last year.
    Of course we need him back, we also need Vyner back as RCB, as Dickie has been awful there, and he needs to go back to LCB.

    Big bench needed if they are ever all fit.

    I would love to see Mcnally- Atkinson- Dickie as a central three- using wing backs going forward -

    Think he needs to go out on loan and gain some confidence in hitting the onion bag -as said if he was a goalscorer he would be in the prem with his speed and size.
    Not sure what is happening with Fally seems to be clueless and not interested.

    A lot of QPR fans were right about Armstrong
