Match Day Thread QPR vs Stoke

Around 40 nautical miles south of Toulon...
Just shared a UR'sssss with another guest on board.....
C'mon Rangers

 

Vale should have scored

 

Harvey Vale glaring miss from 12 yds out with just the keeper to beat, who saved it

 

Saito shoots straight at the keeper when Kone was a better option in the area

 

Our press today is very high up the pitch, not giving them a chance to relax, which is excellent

 

Our high press is only allowing them to play across their backs

 

Stoke starting to get a head of steam, pushing us backwards ever closer to the 6 yd box and we’re struggling to break out

 

Wow two defensive headers from Madsen, the new Beckenbauer.

Stoke look quite tidy, happy to keep the ball and fast down the wings.

 

Madsen has started brightly and has won a few important balls

 

Stoke currently on 70% possession !
Another timely interception from Madsen to prevent a shot

 

Kone and Burrell not linking up properly yet, a few overhit passes from both

 

Kone with a challenge to win the ball, gets it back hits a great strike left footed just wide

 

Ref wants to make a name for himself on telly. Wasting more time than an Alex O’Neil team.

 

I think Mbengue got away with one there to be honest, no booking and according to the ref no foul

 

Norrington -Davies booked for a stupid high kick challenge, however Stoke are being Stoke and whining about every challenge

 

3 minutes added

 

Fotherington Thomas has handled him well. You little winger just dubbed an Oompa Loompa **** by a wit in NL. Made me laugh.

 

Scrappy, couple of half chances...if you've just sat down you've missed nothing sort of game

 

HT
0-0
Yellow cards 1 each
Shots QPR 4 with 2 on target, Stoke with 2 shots 0 on target
Possession roughly 70 / 30 in Stoke’s favour

 

Boring Stoke. Madsen is playing well. We need to get more players further up the pitch, but that is not easy with 30% of the ball.
I would put Smyth on instead of Vale now or very soon.
