How good were Watford? Excellent performance. That tackle from Gabriel was even uglier than he is, how did Mariner not see that?
Watching charlton v boro, boro are nothing special to write about & don't think we should have to much trouble on beating them, the rave about Adomah well watching him I think he's poor & rather keep Phillips & hoilett, as for donkey Rhodes crap, not now 2 down & season is falling apart.
Boro have really bombed the last month or so, obviously something has gone on behind the scenes with Karanka seemingly on his way out and the team now in freefall...
Almost perfect. QPR 3:0 BFC and Chelsea lose. Then Arsenal. And until 7 minutes from time it looked like MUFC would fall, too.Now I will have to wait for the replay at Upton Park
Ex-Wolves trialist Eusebio played:- Development Squad: Brentford 0 Queens Park Rangers 0 Posted: Mon 14 Mar 2016 Author: Ciaran Brett Jersey Road this afternoon. The Bees created more than enough chances to win the match as Kyjuon Marsh-Brown and Herson Rodrigues Alves were denied one-on-one by Joe Lumley in the visitors’ goal early on. Bradley Clayton and Hogan also came close in a first-half that belonged exclusively to The Bees. The second-half was a more even contest with Ryan Manning shooting wide from close range for the visitors while Jan Holldack brought a fine save from Lumley late on. The Bees made five changes from last week’s 3-0 defeat to Millwall with Jack Bonham, Chris Mepham and Tom Field among those coming back in. Hogan started up front in his third game back after injury with Clayton, Alves and Marsh-Brown playing as a three behind him. Pedersen’s side, still looking for their first win of 2016, attacked from the off against a Rangers’ side reeling from four defeats in their last five matches. Hogan’s pinpoint cross was headed straight at Lumley by Clayton inside two minutes while at the other end Eusebio Bancessi volleyed over a rare early QPR attack. The Bees should have been ahead after nine minutes as Marsh-Brown dispossessed Kepkawa midway inside his half and bore down on goal but Lumley’s outstretched leg deflected the ball behind for a corner. Hogan was the next to go close as he controlled a long Bonham clearance, easily beat Leon Lobjoit only for Harly Wise to get back in to block from close range. The chances continued to come as Alves shot tamely at Lumley after beating the Rangers offside trap and the same man should have done better again four minutes later as Tom Field’s in-swinging corner found him completely alone at the back post but he headed well off target. Lumley was by far the busier keeper in the first-half and he made another crucial save from Josh Clarke, Hogan inches away from getting on the end of Marsh-Brown’s cross from the rebound. For all their chances in the first-half The Bees could have gone in behind at the break as Axel Prohouly led a counter-attack from a Brentford corner but, with men over spare to his right, he decided to take the selfish option and shot straight at Bonham from a tight angle. The final chance of the half dropped to Clarke, after nice work by Hogan, but the defender couldn’t keep his left footed shot down and it sailed over the bar. The second-half saw Brentford playing against the wind and they couldn’t exert the same control over the match as they had in the first. James Ferry lost possession midway inside his own half and was thankful to see Bonham beat away Prohouly’s fierce drive. Bonham then nearly gifted Rangers an opener ten minutes into the half when a dipping cross bounced out of his grasp but Manning turned the ball wide of the post from close range. Despite not having the same dominance Brentford were still creating chances as Clayton saw two efforts blocked away to safety by the visiting defence before Marsh-Brown also had a shot cleared. The Bees best chance of the half came with 15 minutes to play as Rodrigues Alves cleverly flicked a pass round the corner allowing top-scorer Holldack in behind but again Lumley got a strong hand behind the ball and beat the shot away. Rangers could have stolen the points at the end as Lobjoit found himself in space on the edge of the box but his shot drifted wide of Bonham’s far post as both sides had to settle for a point.

The 20-year-old is looking for a club after being told he will not be offered a new contract by Wolves. He was on Benfica’s books before joining Wolves in 2013. He has not made a first-team appearance for the Midlands club and has had loan spells at Cheltenham and, more recently, Telford United. Bancessi played just over an hour for QPR’s development side in a game against Brentford on Monday. http://www.westlondonsport.com/qpr/football-wls-qpr-give-trial-to-wolves-youngster
Looks like Karanka has decided to stay put at Boro........training could be a bit tense tomorrow. Actually reading about this in the papers yesterday part of the problem is that Downing wasn't his signing and was pushed through by the owner presumably against Karanka's wishes......maybe there is something in this DOF role after all......
Interesting test for Leicester, Toon just sitting back and giving them possession.......as I write Okazaki scores with an overhead kick. The head waiter is off the bench looking worried.

A much improved Newcastle side under Rafa should have really had a penalty. PENALTY APPEAL "I've just seen that Moussa Sissoko effort on 80 minutes, the ball hit Wes Morgan on the elbow - he had turned his back on the shot and it was travelling at a rate of knots." http://www.bbc.com/sport/live/football/35474927
Anyone watching Boro v Hull? Not exactly a classic......no real chances, not a lot to get excited about for the neutral, both sides cancelling each other out at the moment....
