Just got in and seen our result, seems like a great match and a fantastic finish, well done JET. Add to that just seen the Scum have lost at home with their 'Captain Fantastic' in the team, the day just gets better, a win for England at Twickers tonight will be the 'icing on the cake'...:grin:

Fair enough, completely welcome others opinions, I've always said that's what footballs all about, and welcome a fellow R's opinion even more. I simply can't see how he was any good today. Constantly bypassed, didn't win the second ball on a consistent basis, and offered nothing going forward.
Col said that he is "far" from our bigger problem at the moment, but for me he not only encapsulates our head coaches shortcomings, but he's the main reason we're getting caught short in midfield, not ticking things over etc. You only have to look at the Fulham game for that to be evident. Luongo and Sandro in that midfield two for me (assuming we're going to continue to play that, for that record I wouldn't play that either,especially at home)

You may be surprised that I don't actually disagree with your thoughts on Henry today only, perhaps, the conclusion. Henry is a defensive midfielder and I think still a good one. To do that job well you need a structure around you and two good centre backs. I don't think we had either today and I think Henry was pulled all over the pace. And not just today. We all, I think, agree that the problem is deeper. He was one of the few consistent players last year. I think we can still make better use of him.

Just heard Neil Lennon say that the referee was biased in favour of QPR and Konchesky should have been sent off........ Didn't clearly see the foul but I am not convinced by the first statement!
 
Obviously our defensive weaknesses need sorting but coming back from 0-2 to win 4-3 without the player who we supposedly rely on for goals, certainly sound like the players are giving there all. Look forward to seeing the goals, Chery and Jets winner sound special. Great that he can pull that out 5 minutes into stoppage time. Certainly sounds like Ramsey got the striker choice correct today when there seemed to be a few other alternatives. All credit to him for that as well.

Spot on.

Some peoples' obsession with hating Henry is really quite disturbing!

He is a limited player, but he is far, far from being our biggest problem imo.

Not one tackle won today Col. Sandro's first touch of the ball meant he had won more tackles than Henry & Tozzer did!
 
IMO Londoncalling got the match exactly right.

Was it exciting? NO
Was it entertaining? Not really, apart from seeing seven goals. The Chery one was an excellent finish & the winner from JET was pretty good as well.

This was the worst multi goal match that I have EVER seen. The fact that we only had five players & still won tells you all about Bolton!

They were simply, the worst side I've seen at The Bush since Grimsby came in the Holloway promotion season.

However, I'm singing the blues!

Far too positive Olso, especially as far as CR is concerned and you won't get many commenting......but I will. Great post pal! :cheesy::emoticon-0148-yes:
 
I have to laugh at the people defending Henry, I'm sorry. Admittedly played VERY out of position last 20 by the manager, but in his natural position he did nothing, didn't win a tackle all game. He's simply didn't do the job he's meant to do, the same happened at Fulham. I'm willing to admit that he's not the cause and we do have bigger problems, but he's been one of our worst performers all season long with Angella/most of the defence.

I laugh at myself sometimes..... 'Angela/most of the defence' - that's about half the team. Wouldn't necessarily disagree. The central defence has really worried me. There is something amiss with training when you set up a structure that cannot close out scoring opportunities on a regular basis when, on the face of it, you should have a competent set of players.
 
The worrying aspect of yesterday's game is being 2-0 down in 11 minutes. Any decent team will go on to win from that position. We were lucky it was a poor Bolton team and not one of the top half teams. Unless the defence is tightened up we will lose more than we win this season...
 
Thanks Total! Loved that last one from Jet and will repeat on a bigger screen than my phone has got later.
