They equalize against the run of play. We've pretty much dominated the second half. Bennie has scored straight away with a cracker. 2-1
Lovely. Shades of Zamora at West Brom. Seems a nice kid. Like having your teenager’s dopey mate who smokes weed and works part-time at Pizza Hut up front.
I was at the match. I found the first half to be a decent watch but the second, with a succession of substitutions, was a scrappy affair and rather boring. With the exception of Morrison, none of QPR's substitutes made a strong case to be included in the starting 11 just yet. I wouldn't make definitive judgement on anyone based on 90 minutes but Mbengue looks quick, and he and Poku both look promising; Larkeche was better than I remember; Morgan was busy; Dunne was Dunne and Steve Cook looked heavier than last season's version. By all accounts, Field was much improved compared to recent appearances. However, in my opinion, no-one stood out and no-one disgraced themselves in the first half, although, as ever, I would liked to have seen more of Madsen. Walsh had no chance with either of their two goals and his distribution was good. For me, Chair was our MOTM: he looked fit, quick and creative in a more central role. All the goals, from both sides, were very good. Of the substitutes, Adamson was interesting: he's not big, he's not quick and, when we had the ball, he moved very much into a central midfield role, from where he lost the ball that lead to their first equaliser! Jury's out on that one. None of the subs improved the team, although, for me, Morrison was the pick of the bunch. Perhaps even more puzzling than playing the first half without a conventional centre forward (Morgan pushed up a lot), was who we didn't see, not even on the bench: Smyth, Frey, Varane, Celar and Kelman. Of course, as we're not allowed to know about injuries nowadays, that could lead to lots of unfounded speculation or confirm to some that 2 or 3 of those named are on their way out. A grit-your-teeth exit for Charlie and a tearless farewell to Zan?
