On the back of them losing 3-1 at home to Watford, they will be keen to bounce back to winning ways. Tough test for us certainly, I'd be delighted with a 1-1 draw and keeping the unbeaten home record going to 6 games. Being greedy I'd love the 3 points, however avoiding defeat will keep me very pleased Be good to see a better attendance too after 2 good away wins, however with the prices we're charging fans ( £29 cheapest ) and ripping off the Brighton fans ( £34 a pop ) I cannot see there being any more than 19,000 in. Shame!
Going for a positive 3-1 win to Town. DJ to sign off with two and Smith to score with his head from a corner.
It's a win for the blues for me. Tight game tho with a solitary goal in it. And bad news on sky tonight. Qpr recalled dj. Although also read he's been offered a permanent deal and its now down to relevant parties to decide.
I've been slating Chopra in recent times for his goal return but I just have a strange feeling that he will do much better playing up top with Murphy beside him. He wasn't too effective in the lone striker role but after DJ returns he will have a few games to prove that he can fill the gap. After a while as a bit part player I hope he has a bit of hunger back and wants to really contribute. He's not a bad striker and will benefit by being part of a two man attack and not having to face two CB's all the time.
It's not so much that QPR have recalled DJ, rather that after tomorrow his loan period is up, so he returns to his parent club, was always going to happen...
Lets hope 'arry don't want him. McCarthy making all right noises for a deal. Plus looking to get any business done ASAP. In reply to Diego. I like chops and after his confession thought he may have come good. With some game time imminent maybe time to prove himself.
On the subject of ticket prices, that's why I can only go 2 or 3 times a season. Ticket price + train ticket =£50 & thats before i've had any food or drink. Its been said before on this forum, surely its better to have 30,000 people paying £15 a time, creating an atmosphere etc etc but the club will never go for it
well the club have tried £20 offers in 3 games this season, and the uptake has been nothing short of shocking ! success guarantees bums on seats, that is the main factor sadly !
Even more sadly, success allows clubs to keep getting away with higher prices! For the not very well off it's a lose / lose situation!
Well as a neutral i thought i would offer my view! Personally i see a 2-0 win for you guys, Brighton have won three in their last seventeen, they have a few injuries and with you losing two in your last ten i see this as a great chance to make some space between you and those below you. Good luck guys.
Going for another 2.0 .. Dj and a late one for Chops With Dj heading back to QPR it's time for Chops to be the striker we all hoped he would be . I think the way MM has us playing now , and if Chops gets a couple of goals ,well you never know. Would love DJ to sign for us but we have to expect that it won't happen . Coybs
Brighton are incredibly only four points ahead going into this game. I think we can nick this one - 3-1.
I take it Drury’s injured then? Reo-Coker’s in and Drury’s not even on the bench. Mings from Chippenham Town has made the bench! Promising.
Too true! But why do we seem to lose form at home these days..where has Fortress Blue vanished to? Maybe time for Chops to show his new commitment.
