Match Day Thread QPR vs Stoke City

[Star of David Bardsley]

I'm with you SB, I have had enough of Colback.
Liability, walking yellow card. Not sure what the love in was all about last night. He played well for 10-15 mins, max.

Well he’s here for a long time unless someone is dumb enough to take him so he’s going to be playing. I don’t rate him either but last night was better as the obligatory booking came late.

Anyone seen a clip of Dykes's horrendous miss at 1-0? It's not on any highlights package.
I'm only surprised he notched the penalty. When he's got time to think about what he's gonna do, he usually stiffs it. But when he acts more instinctively, he can finish like his second goal. Hugely frustrating player. But I guess, all we can do is back him on the field to try and get him firing consistently.

If that means we don’t play Colback, excellent.

I thought he was one of our better players last night to be honest, apart from his usual stupid booking I thought he did an excellent job.

I agree with most of what you say Col but I thought we were by far the better team in the first half. We had two or three clear cut chances to score before they did. Smyth and Dykes spring to mind. Did Chair have a decent chance too? Their goal before half time was their first shot that I remember.

It was lovely to see you to Fingy ...for the second game running.

If we meet each other, and we don't lose ...okay that don't work...we met at Milton Keynes that time, we lost (?) 2 nil..
And I got flu that lasted weeks.. no that wasn't your fault but sitting in the rain for 2 hours might not have helped

I thought he was our worst

Thanks. Hitting it straight at the keeper there is just ridiculous. But all forgiven after that sublime chest and volley goal.
They definitely should have had a penalty for the second half shirt tug which was way more blatant than the one on Cook for our penalty. Still, who cares. we've had enough poor decisions and bad luck go against us.
Come on Dykes, notch again on Friday night and go on a run!!

Great report, although I disagree with some of Clive's assertions.
Yes, Smyth made a meal of that pull on his shirt, but it WAS a pull of his shirt and an undeniable second yellow card. I don't agree that we'd have been fuming with the ref. I'd have been fuming with the idiot picking up his second yellow after giving away a penalty doing the same thing!
I can't believe he blames Begovic for not saving the Burger goal. He curled it from 2 feet outside the post and it went in off the upright. I'm not sure any keeper would have got near it. Ridiculous to say Begovic "should have thrown his cap on it".
Also, although Marti did empty our midfield to a certain extent, in order to gain maximum width and press their back line once they were down to 10 men and we'd equalised and were chasing the win, Clive completely missed the fact that Marti pushed Paal into midfield, to plug the gap.
Some lovely, funny lines in there as usual though, plus the very nice reference to El Tel.
