Match Day Thread Luton vs QPR

I dont think we've been hammered by anyone this season. Many games we have failed to take the points because we couldnt make enough chances and finish what we did, but otherwise had looked as least as good as our opponents. IF we can continue to make them and score them like last night, I think we'll end up mid-table. Here's some next "morning" coffee for that....!

 

It’s nice to wake up on a Wednesday morning and Rangers won away.

Poacher's instinct - anticipation & movement - welcome back Charlie.

 

In an interview a few years ago.
He said he had a disabled sister with serious medical problems, which is why his family moved from Zimbabwe.

As said, we don't know what is going on in a players life... Like we did not know about Rio Ferdinand wife...

I have been guilty in this, only yesterday suggesting that Bonne may not be good enough. He obviously has an awful lot to deal with on top of our expectations. I apologize

 

I was just going to post the Sky tweet of this, everything you need to know of why the top goalscorers make it look so easy. As soon as Charlie sees the ball going to the near post he moves back whilst the defenders head toward the ball, he's gambling there will be a flick-on and it's a gift. If Bonne, Dykes and Kelman can pick up some of his nous they'll be far better players but there's no doubt Charlie, at his best, will score a hatful in this league...

 

I think this is where Dykes in particular could learn from Austin. Dykes is a decent player and a good hold-up and link man, but his movement in front of goal needs improvement. If a bit of that rubs off from Austin, we could have a very good player on our hands.

 

How do you think I felt when Rio had that nightmare game (West Ham?) and I kicked off about how cr2p/lazy/money grabbing blah blah blah.... only to find out 2 hours before he received devastating news. I will always regret that.

 

We made a team that were unbeaten in 7 at home and had apoarently won last 4 look rubbish. Dickie is superb, Dykes also good last night. More of the same please.

 

Unbelievable really

 

Totally agree. Dykes seems to wait for the ball rather than move towards the ball. Movement is key. Charlie's near post header was a prime example of that.

 

Charlie waited for the ball in the right space the 3 defenders moved towards the ball.

 

I'm not on about his goal but his general movement in the box. When crosses come in, dykes wants it on a six pence rather that attacking the ball. Austin has the nous to move the defenders about. His near post header, a prime example of knowing how to move in the box.

 

I saw someone warming up with the subs, who I thought looked like Toure wearing a beanie like hat. I half decided it must be Albert, but all he did was take big swings at the ball, not really like Albert warming up before a game. Could have been Oteh, haven't seen him for a while either.

 

Just having Yaya around will bring some needed confidence. I am sure he will help out.

 

Ever since I opened it I have become really lucky
Or so the notification messages tell me
Anyone know how to stop them
Will stick to Steelers hesgoal in future I think

 

I use Google Chrome and watched the Fulham game through Steels hesgoal link. Worked well other than I had to turn the vpn off every 20 minute or so, then back on to keep away any ****. Found I had about 20 notifications after the game, so turned off notifications in Chrome which cleared them, I think.

 

Pirlo Dykes he is
