At last, as QPR player beats someone cleanly, without some kind of pinball off multiple legs. Well done Washington.

He should clearly start. The problem is we don't have attacking full backs so we have to play wide players down the sides.
 
No coincidence that the Boro players are rolling around the floor a lot during time added on.
 
Polter with Mike Brown type use of the studs. My son has just pointed out that the Big German looks like Liam Neeson playing a steam punk Viking with hair bleached for the part. Come on Liam! Wunderbar!

Bit of a scrap now, what's that all about, time wasting?

On the way back now.

You can see why they're near the top- two proper goal scorers, a good winger and a reasonably organised defence is really all it takes. Thought their goalkeeper was shaky.

For us, Smithies was great and I thought Polter did what was expected of him. The centre halves were both awful and Phillips was disgracefully lazy. Surely he's got a move lined up.

Two lovely goals and an entertaining game. Just a shame there was nothing to play for and we defended like tarts.

Special mention to their fans who travelled in crazy numbers. Must have been 2500
 
Disappointing. If we were in the mix I would have been ****ing fuming.

Could have been 3-3 or 3-5 but for some excellent keeping from Smithies. Not sure why our centre backs thought they could keep dribbling with a standing start.

Main lesson - half time is NOT 25 minutes long.

Anyone still think that Hall is a good player?
Anyone still think Phillips is a good player?
Also, I'm not too impressed with kayate. I remember nines saying that he thought he would be better than Bowles! I'm not sure he's better than me.
 
Poor defending from corners; otherwise, a good performance. Next season...
Why can't refs have any idea of what is going on? I really think that ex-players should be encouraged to ref games, then they would understand when players cheat/time waste/playact/feign injury/etc...
Not too bothered apart from that twat Leadbitter - another one to put on my list.
Good night one and all!

I think they're all good players. Hall had a poor game but has had a very good season. Phillips has been poor for a while and seems to be clocking off for a transfer in June but has shown he's got plenty of ability. Khayati looks a bit clueless at times but shows flashes of a good player.

No too disappointed. We saw two great goals and some great saves.

Maybe as the result wasn't so important I feel the same - it was a good game. Boro looked very good, they certainly have good enough players to see them promoted, but we caused them a few problems as well, would have been 3-3 with goal line technology in use which it should be. But Smithies needed to be our MOM to restrict them to 3. Perch, Henry, Mackie, Polter and Chery all had good games too. Worst I remember seeing from Angella and Phillips.

Agreed.
The referee was terrible.
