    As I didn't go Saturday I wasn't quite sure about Lynch and playing up front. It was only after I read some reports it actually sunk in....Hollow played Lynch up front? <doh> He doesn't do himself any favours does he?

    Which QPR manager used to do the same thing with Fitz Hall?

    I can understand it in the final minutes of a game, but to do it during the 1st half is just embarrassing imo.

    Given that he seems to know how to score a goal, if you have to do this I’d pick Robinson. Though we would have probably conceded another two whilst he was away.

    That would have been NW? However I think if I remember the times he went up front it was either last few minutes to try and rescue something or when we were down to bare bones.
    Did Hollow not put Lynch up front after 30Mins with Smith on the bench?
    There is defending someones corner, then there are people that won't accept things.

    I think I'm right in saying that Ned was a striker in his formative years.

    There’s a blast from the past.
    Fingi, Swords and Queens. What a trio.

    It was a little bizarre, but not quite as ridiculous as some are painting it. It was after we went 2 down, which was in the 35th minute. Plainly he was going to bring Smith on, but wanted to wait until half-time.

    Antti's knee jerks from Boro game.....

    Last week we were looking up, this week we're looking down again.
    1. OUTCLASSED: There are games sometimes when you've been heavily beaten and you're disgusted: the effort wasn't there, the belief wasn't there, the pride wasn't there, perhaps they gave up after just going a goal down and then pathetically capitulated and it's all a load of sh!t and why do you bother and how much is this costing and fk me this makes me miserable and it's raining and what's the point we never win anything anyway and we're going to get relegated and I HATE THE WORLD!
    But Saturday wasn't one of them. I looked around after the game and thought, well, no one played what I wuld consider to be 'well' (a 7/10), but on the other hand no one was that poor either, and if they were, it wasn't through lack of effort. Until their goal, which, while annoying for it to come from a set piece, was very well-worked and almost impossible to defend if you don't win that near post ball, we'd even been marginally the better side. After that, though, they just looked bigger, stronger, faster and even seemed to have a man more than us at times. They moved the ball well, shifting us one side then exploiting space on the other, and in the end, it was a very good, professional performance from them that we had no answer to. There are reasons and failures for that, of course, but they were just too good.
