Oxford will be our last away game, therefore possibly crucial, so I'm hoping they're safe well in advance ... ... they could give us that whole side, of 5000, which we'd totally fill.
Once again, a point woulnt be the end of the world. Strange team QPR, have some excellent individuals but some really ****e ones too. Win would be super but genuinely wouldn't be too disappointed to keep the points total ticking over, and leaving loftus with 1 point in the bag.
HA'WAY THE LADS MACKEMS ATTACKEM Six games in November. The games and last 5 matches. QPR away, 2nd bottom, 3L 2D (A game we should win on paper) Preston away, mid table, 3D 2W (I'm Going to this, could be tricky) Coventry home, 18th, 2W 2L 1D (Hopefully smash the cheating chinny bastards) Millwall away, 10th, W2 D2 L1 (Another awkward fixture, potential banana skin) West brom home, 5th, 1L 4D (Recent poor form, hopefully continues) Sheffield United away, 4th, 3W 2L (Touted as one of the top teams along with Leeds. An away draw like the Leeds game will do) After those 6 games it'll be interesting to see how we've fared going into December. Another 6 games with the last one being the turnaround on 29th against Stoke whom we will have played on the 7th of December. New years day being Sheffield United at home. It's exciting stuff
It is an exciting time for us,but there are no easy matches in this division....anyone can beat anyone else....loads of variables.....I'm taking one match at a time. Having said that,if we play as we can,I don't fear anyone.
Regis Le Bris' first-team plans for Milan Aleksic at Sunderland https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/s...is-first-team-plans-milan-aleksic-sunderland/ REGIS LE BRIS admits Milan Aleksic is still acclimatising to life at Sunderland, but the Black Cats boss expects the teenager to make his first-team debut soon. Aleksic joined Sunderland from Serbian side Radnikci to considerable fanfare in the summer, but is yet to make his senior bow for the club. While the 19-year-old has only limited first-team experience in his homeland, he has been called up to the senior Serbian national team, with Sunderland understood to have agreed a package that could eventually be worth around £3m in order to sign him.… “It is still the beginning for him (Aleksic),” said the Black Cats boss. “The language is still a problem for him, although of course the main language is football. “His development is still in progress, although his individual skills are very interesting – he is quick, he has good technique and he can shoot from a long distance. That is exciting. “Now, the question is one of culture and how he can connect with the other players in different phases. We are working on it. He still needs time, but I am sure he will have some opportunities to get on the pitch for us soon.” “I think his (Aleksic) best position at the moment is probably as a number ten,” said Le Bris. “That looks like his best position, mainly at the moment because of the responsibilities you have in that role. “When you play in a 4-4-2 with two number sixes, then the responsibility for the players in those midfield roles is very high, both in and out of possession. If you play higher on the pitch, then that changes a little bit, so I think that could be his best position to start.” Aleksic will be joining an attacking-midfield unit that is brimming with confidence following Sunderland’s strong start to the season, even if Le Bris still insists his new-look side remains a work in progress despite heading into the weekend with a five-point lead at the top of the table. “It’s a long journey, and we don’t know how the identity will evolve,” said Le Bris. “It depends on our players, and the link they can create together, and the opposition as well. “The main point is the willingness to improve and keep this mindset every day, even after the good period we have had. It’s very easy for a head coach to find many elements in the game we need to improve, even if we have won a game. We have weaknesses, like every team, and if you repeat those behaviours, they can become a problem later. Obviously, the dynamic is good, but it is still the beginning of the season and we know the Championship is very long.”
Anyone else think RLB looked a little less relaxed than of late in his PC yesterday? Not suggesting anything....just enquiring?
I think he's just bored with the same obvious questions and is focussed on the job ... ... he won't even acknowledge the fans, let alone journos.
QPR was one of my first ever away games when I was a kid. I remember being super impressed to be under a roof (as a clock stand then Roker Wing lad), but had a ****ing massive pillar in front of me so couldn’t see most of the game. We lost 3-2. Been twice since and both wins. It’s a place we usually do alright. Wild how the area has changed from that day in 1992 or so to about 5 year ago last time I went.
I've stopped taking one match at a time and started looking forward to everything Yes we could lose the next 4 and then beat WBA and Sheffield. We could even win all 6 Mrs nig asked what I wanted for Christmas yesterday. She was disappointed I'd gone and bought a workbench as she knew i wanted one FFS fooking hell that's a disappointment avoided I finish work on the 14th dec. I'll be putting my 28 days notice to come off nights on the 16th nov. What do i want for Christmas? Our unbeaten run to continue for the next 12 games with only 2 draws
Great mindset to have mate.....lots of optimism....really hope everything goes well for you. You'll probably end up with a pair of slippers for Christmas now!
