    winning 1-0 in tough away game. 5 mins to go, soft red card, under the cosh......& concede an injury time equaliser......Sound Familiar????......yep Ryan seems to have exported the west London self-destruct disease out here to Toronto with him!!...keeper had to make a blinder in 6th min of injury time to rescue a point....Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.....as they say

    Why watch someone who walked out on our Club half way through a short 1 year contract, when we were in a relegation struggle. Hope he stays well lost up there.

    Bla, bla, bla, bla - get over it pal. I actually enjoyed watching the TFC game with Ryan & Hogan + Earnshaw banging a goal in. Too bad they couldn't get the result - certainly less stressful compared to watching us all season throwing away games.

    Initially thought he had signed a permanent deal with TFC, but apparently he is on loan. Always in the starting lineup, doing okay, getting more comfortable playing with team-mates and seems to be getting better each game, although he was starting to lose it a little with his temperament towards the end of this one and got yellow carded.

    I also think Nelsen was, like so many modern footballers/chairmen/managers, selfish and he let us down badly. However, it's history and I'm not going to bear a grudge! (I bet he's relieved about that...)

    I know people like to find a scapegoat for their misfortunes, but we were already there - Nelsen put in some really good shifts for us, and was never intended to be our #1 centre back, was brought in as cover and continued playing despite being in "brittle" physical condition. Also we had a ready made replacement in Chris Samba, that TF forked out so much money for.

    Not saying he is to blame or making him a scapegoat. I just wasn't impressed with the way he left us, mid contract, when we needed him.

    Sorry, you wanna watch you watch and enjoy mate! I just don't want players who walk out on us in relegation struggle mid in a short term contract coming back to us in any role. If his legs were that bad why did he accept the contract in the first place.

    I don't blame Nelson, he was always destined to be a manager and he was offered a managerial appointment that may not have been offered at the end of the season, he was only thinking of his and his family's future, cant blame him for that.

    My god you guys, get over it, call off the attack dogs - Nelsen's not the reason we're getting relegated.
    Due to the poor performance level of our assembled squad, Nelsen was played far more at centre back than originally expected by everyone. This obviously had a bearing on his physical condition - did you want him to retire at the end of season as a cripple? Looks like he left with Tony's & Harry's blessing.

    Nelsen's playing contract at Loftus Road runs until 30 June, but the defender says his body is struggling to cope with the demands of top-flight football. "I've had several conversations with Harry and Tony Fernandes," the New Zealander added. "They have been so understanding with my situation. They understand that when I play I am playing on glass knees and glass ankles. It is a bit of a struggle."

    I don't understand how you could vote for a player who was only been here for half a season. That doesn't just apply to Nelson but also to Remy, Townsend etc etc.

    My vote will go to a player who I consider has played well the whole season, not half a season.
