Pre-QPR ramble ...

[Smug in Boots]

Not sure where this post fits so I'll shove it on here.

I was pre-occupied with the Sunderland game so didn't really pay attention to the other Championship results.
Having just looked there seems to have been a few that go against the predictions and current narrative, pretty much like our result tbf.
It's early days, so a lot can change, but teams like Southampton will be realising that things won't be as easy as they might've thought.

Southampton 68% possession, two shots, no goals - lost
Leicester 64% possession, one shot, no goals - lost
Blackburn 58% possession, four shots, no goals - lost
Norwich 63% possession, five shots, one goal - lost
Stoke 60% possession, one shot, no goals - lost
West Brom 62% possession, five shots, one goal - lost

So each six teams, who might've expected at least a draw, had much more possession yet managed two goals between them and all lost ...

... which goes to show that having the ball means very little if you're not brave and decisive.

Sunderland only had the ball for thirty minutes but had five efforts on target, pretty efficient and it should've been more

That's a very good post and you make some excellent points ...

... personally I fkn hate them

First went in the 70's, as a young lad, and met by a gang outside, fortunately happened to be inadvetently alongside some Peterlee nutcases.

Went in the home section about ten years back, horrible bunch of bigots.

They have a noxious imbecile in a sombrero who should be taken out by a sniper.

I can't abide Ainsworth and don't get why anyone would admire his 'in charge of the dodgems style'.

They always seem to be trying to cheat the system.

That's all for now ....

Oh Smug you dear little poppet, you haven’t changed a bit

Wouldn't want to, I like being me ...

... endlessly entertaining and I never know what will happen next.

Keep your fingers crossed and my flight down, on Saturday, might be cancelled

Have a good flight, hope you hate the match and all of the beautiful hoops, but get back safe and sound

Little prediction, but I would be shocked if Dack plays. He’ll be fired up to play against Blackburn, and I’m not sure Mowbray will pay him twice in 4 days.

think it will be Bellingham behind one of our strikers, with Bellingham to rotate out against Blackburn.

lovely having options

I think Mowbray will pick the side to win the game and then worry about Blackburn.

I hope this link works.....
A QPR fans write up of the 0 -3 game last season. It's long, but one of the best write-ups I've read....superbly funny.

Brilliant match report. I can remember when the same could have applied to us. It’s nice to be on the laughing side. Thanks Snaggey.
