In case Norway is overworked to do the Match Day thread we can start here..... 2 early kick offs, a tasty local derby Blackburn v Burnley, my Burnley supporting mate has gone to the game, cost him £41 for the ticket which includes £8 for the coach, but still £33 for the match, who says it just the Premier League that is over priced? Burnley just gone 1 up. Also Fulham v Reading who are currently 1 up.... As for The R's please win with a good performance otherwise there will be a total meltdown on here afterwards and we really don't need the hassle on a Saturday evening.....
FT 4-2 Fulham, great comeback, they've drawn level with us on 17 pts (based on our current 0-0). I only just wish we could bang in 4 goals again, even if we concede 2.
I see Hull and Burnley, both relegated with us last season, are on 25 points while were on 19. Probably a good yard stick to where we are.
Both Hull and Burnley look like they will be there or there abouts We have taken a point from Hull at Hull Not many teams will do that IMO But we have given wins to Forest and lost to Charlton Plenty of time yet to get it right And it's when you get it right that matters
To be honest, I actually don't think that's a good yard stick. Unlike those two teams we actually went into total meltdown last season and we have a virtually all new squad this season, plus we've lost our best striker to injury. Out of QPR, Hull and Burnley, QPR would be the hardest team to stabilise and turn around, in my opinion.
At least none of us some look like totally imploding this season, as was the case with Blackpool & Wigan, and almost Fulham.
Sadly looks like Bournemouth are finding out first hand how unforgiving top flight football is. They went 1 up inside the first minute but have conceded 3 in the next 30 minutes.....A long winter beckons.
I'm watching another boring Derby. United didn't have a shot 1st half, and City not one on target. And these are arguably England's best teams.
First bit of excitement came after 84 minutes when United hit the bar after a very good pass and volleyed shot.
It was hard going to watch, I was thinking of slapping some paint on the wall and watching that instead!
