Sounds like we made hard work of it but we got the three points and great to see Smythie getting the clincher. Love to see us take three from Nawich next. Let’s keep the run going Rrrrrrssssss.
Not often you think a late-ish sub is MOTM but Smyth is definitely it. At the other extreme can someone please explain what's happened to Kone? His sub performance was ludicrously slow and littered with errors.
I'm a fan of Field. He always gives 100% and does the important things quietly and effectively in the Clint Hill style. He's also pretty decent going forward.
Bonkers! What's happened at Fortress Loftus Road? I sit in the Loft and I'd say the support is solid. Just random, I suppose.
I like Field too. He lost his place because Varane ( on his day..which comes and goes) is better defensively and Madsen on his day is better attacking. I wonder if he has now found his place in this team...especially if we hearing Norrington-Davies might be recalled in Jan
Doesn’t hurt to have another player good in the air in the team especially against dross like last night whose Plan A, B and C was to kick it in the air and eventually win a second ball to put a cross in.
So Jimmy popped his shoulder, that's painful and problem is that it will keep happening, he'll have to be very careful....
I think he is carrying an injury. He came on last night and smashed defenders around but never looked like making a chance. A bit like Frey. Which begs the question. Why not Frey?
Whether players are selected is down to the manager and as we have seen many times a player who has been first choice for several different managers suddenly finds himself a bit part player with the latest manager. Or, as with Frey, not even that. Not exactly sure what Field did wrong and no evidence of any poor decision making by him in the 3 games he has started but I doubt he will ever be restored to being a regular starter.
