Match Day Thread QPR v Hull City

Don’t be fooled by QPR results they play very good mobile football and pass it well , may be a bit light up front but are very mobile . We will have avoid a first half as at Norwich

 

Decent money to be had for having players at the World Cup. I can't find the figures from the last one, but for the 2018 tournament FIFA coughed up just short of 650k to City.

 

Dramas 1 - 3 City

 

Potential banana skin. One of those games we usually lose in typical City style.

4-0 City!

 

So looking forward to a City game, fuvking hate internationals getting in the way, although hopefully it’s helped us injury wise this time round with the break. Hopefully we can get another win under our belts!

 

Good to see in Sergei’s interview he was well aware of the tight pitch and stadium , he seems to do his homework and picks the fine detail . Some matches the oppos are going to double up on Gelhardt successfully so we need others to step up.

 

I’ve been one of his harshest critics but he’s massively improved under Jakirović this season. He’s more consistent.

 

And just much better. Totally different player.

 

Totally echo the last two posts….

 

ultimately, on of out better purchases of recent years...

 

How is this for bursting our bubble

Here is Skys expected Championship End of Season Prediction for City
"At the other end of the expected table, Derby tumble 13 places into the relegation zone, while Hull emerge as the league's biggest overachievers - dropping 16 spots to sit just two points clear of the bottom three."

How is the expected table calculated?

• Points are awarded based on expected goal (xG) performance
• 3 points if you outscore your opponent's xG by more than 0.5
• 1 point if the difference in xG is between -0.5 and 0.5
• 0 points if opponent outscores your xG by more than

Clearly it suggests we are being outplayed by our opponents. (but still winning, in other words we are riding out luck)

 

Always a bit uncertain after the break how teams will play. On paper, we should come away with something, but one never knows.

I can see the same starting side as Portsmouth, with Belloumi and Ndala coming on at 60 minutes.

Anyhow, good to have footy back.

 

Surely we must be looking at singing him on.

 

It's based on xg.

It's being misused.

 

Interesting comments from RS from about 1:30 on...

 

Feeling positive but likely we will concede at least two goals.

QPR 2 City 3

 

Preston lost last night so a chance to move up again this weekend.
