Just wondering what you consider would be a good end to the season and what you would regard as being bad, and your assessment of finishing fourth if we lose to Coventry.
Canny, meeting expectations I think play offs with this team. We have some serious players for this level. Good end - if we go up. Bad - if we get rolled over after going into the play offs bottom of the form guide, especially after resting key players for weeks etc.
Comfortable 4th place with weeks to spare exceeds any expectations I saw pre season last year. Certainly mine. I would’ve been happy if we’d gone into yesterday with millwall’s chances of making the play offs. So for me, very successful season. Regardless of what happens
Already had a great season for me but hammering Coventry would give me immense pleasure. Winning at Wembley would be incredible and bittersweet as clinging to the bottom of the Premier League is too much for my blood pressure!
@RTB I DEMAND an early Coventry thread Excited, nervous, a bit scared. 100 other emotions as well and it's only Sunday. Going to be a long week.
Just watching the goal back after recalling that O'Nien copped all the blame yet again, he goes to block the cross which is a legitimate defensive move, after their player runs past Cirkin like he's not there. It's not his fault that our CM has vanished and nobody thinks to track the runners, or that Mepham goes to mark the player Hume is already covering and gets absolutely nowhere near the danger area.
Yeah feel like Mepham is not being talked about enough recently. 0/10 performances for a good few weeks but O'Nien (who hasn't been great either) gets the majority of the blame.
It's a shame Alese isn't match fit as I think he would have been a real asset at centre half against them. Has plenty of pace to cover and also decent strength against high balls. Would have let us play higher up the pitch as well.
TBH, the way I see that is Cirkin got done too easy, which has happened a lot this season and O'Nien unnecessarily got dragged over. Whether that's a lack of confidence in his full back atm or another reason I don't know but he did and I don't think he should have. Mepham was following the play back, staying level with play which is fair enough and the QPR player was in his area so it was his man to mark. Hume was slightly behind play going into the box and if anything should have been the one to drop off to the player coming into the box as he had no one his side. However, the midfield was nowhere to be seen and has to take the brunt of the blame for me. Really just a catalogue of errors that a team who isn't fully at the races will make. I'm sure the next 2 (3) games will be a completely different proposition and we won't see these things happen. At least that's my hope anyway!
What Mepham should have done imo is told Hume to get on the guy in the box and gone to cover the danger area, it's not like he couldn't see the blokes charging at him. Weak defensive work in general really. I'm less confident than I was but I do still genuinely believe we'll see a totally different performance in the games that matter.
We can’t get on either in the east stand, as soon as as the stadium starts filling up it stops. WiFI has been working good though (I found I had to “forget” the connection and reconnect a while back)
Exactly, it was clear as day at the game ... ... I just assumed he was taking no chances of injury or a card.
The QPR fans singing ‘Sunderland’s a shiithole’ must think weve never seen Shepherd’s Bush … … it’s shameful, on par with Coventry.
Apart from very small pockets of affluence, London is a national embarrassment for a capital city.... I hate going there. QPR fans should be the vary last people calling anywhere is a s hithole
