If you were to go on the first game of the season and the so called experts opinions....this is one of the easier games we will have this season BUT they are still an established championship side, we on the other hand are a newly promoted League 1 side, so this is not gonna be as easy as some think. Therefore I'm going a nervy 2-2 draw!!
I've incorrectly predicted two draws for the last two league games, so hopefully to continue that vein of form: A rather bland 1-1 draw, where we once again take the lead.
Apart from Bigal there is an air of deflated coming down to earth, but we have been over the moon for so long now. Maybe we need a shock!
Speaking of Dozzell, a QPR fan had this gem of an observation on Dozzell in a match report after their 4-0 loss to Watford: Andre Dozzell is just an absolute fxxxing embarrassment, prancing about like football owes him some sort of living. I’d brand him a ghost if I wasn’t so afraid an actual ghost would come for me in the night and call me out on it.
It's a shame, because there is definitely a good footballer in him, but like a.lot of youngsters these days, they have a stinking attitude and behave, like the QPR poster mentions, think they have an entitlement without putting any work into it
He was obviously well thought of as a youngster as he represented England Under 16 through to Under 20,but whether it was a lack of application on his part,poor coaching or the curse of never living up to his Dad's fine reputation we'll never know.Just wonder if KMc could have made a better player of him (almost certainly yes!)
As stretchyboy says, I think Dozzell is a good technical footballer, but he didn't come across as particularly driven or motivated to be a top player. Always thought that despite having good vision and a range of passing, he was more of a luxury player - you need players that get on the ball and drive things forward, whereas he often became a bit of a passenger in matches.
Dozzell showed a few flashes when he was with us but was hard to find most of the time and when ive seen QPR matches on TV hes been anonymous, i never really saw what the fuss was about and was glad to see him go plus we found a mug who gave us money for him.
Dozzell was lazy and after the event we found out from his dad’s comments that he was one of the bad eggs playing a big part in unsettling the dressing room during our relegation season (no doubt egged on by having his dad in his ear). He’s stolen a living from football for at least three years longer than he should’ve been able to.
Anyway, Dozzell aint important, Morsy will steamroller him, really looking forward to watching the game tomorrow and hopefully another 3 points in the bag, altho a draw wouldn't be a disaster, we would have all taken 7 from a possible 9 at the start of the season!!
It's Saturday morning again, and isnt it nice to be a bit nervous & excited about how we will play against QPQ rather than Accrington or another awful ground!
