Should of backed yourself and given Star Man to JS. I know we all look at the players and wax lyrical about how well they're playing, but this is all happening because of the Head Coach.
The way he has them set the up without the ball, attacking the space and the research into the opposition all stems from him. He really is a top top coach.
It was a joy to watch Saturday. |

He was fuming after that corner. He had a right go at Kamara for going short. |

Watch the Bond markets. Hammering France, UK second highest rates in the West after the French. The French rioting as they are out of money.
The UK is now borrowing £150b per year, of which £120b is being used to pay interest on the debt already accrude. There is no more slack in the system. Unwilling to cut benefits yet unable to raise taxes any further to cover the cost of entitlements.
Bond market interest rates are already rising, and they will stop buying them (the markets already bought less than expected at the last sale in the summer).
When it happens, and it now can't be stopped, the UK will have to go to the IMF. They will take control and demand massive cuts. Anyone on any sort of benefit can say goodbye to them.
The UK, like France, has millions of people who feel they're entitled to free money and when the tap is turned off the inevitable violence will follow.
Oh, the French have the ECB to bail them out (but still with huge cuts), the UK has no one.
This is why you should have an emergency stockpile.
Still, we won 5-0, so I'm happy!!! |

Good call on Bould, and I'd add Betsy.
And JS is better than Warnock. Best since Gerry. |

It's the coach. He is the best I've seen in decades simply because he is making average players better, Smyth being the main example. He also 'finds a way' when injuries pile up.
He is a different level to anything since Gerry. |

Now that was a proper performance. So many good performances but Kamara was just a level above everyone. Great to see Kone back amongst the goals.
Special mention of JS, a masterstroke putting Smyth up top next to Kone. His pace killed them in the first 20 minutes.
Superb. |

A real live Obikwu warming up in front of me.
CM looks weak and the bench. History definitely rhymes. |

All teams have injuries, but other squads are deeper. We have a great 13/14, but lose 5 and we're stuffed. |

These injuries have killed the season. However, it does highlight how badly we need a big sale ASAP so we can increase the depth of the squad.
The harsh truth is that Morrison, Kolli, Lloyd are not good enough and we are very thin in the CM area. Also concerning is that Charles and Kamara are loans and the squad looks very thin again.
I've got a horrible feeling JS will walk at the end of season as he's doing his job with both hands tied behind his back. |

I watched him last season at Hampton against Eastleigh and to be honest he struggled with the physicality. |

Just out of curiosity, if Kolli and Lloyd didn't play for QPR who thinks the club would go out and try to sign either of them?
I'd say a big fat zero chance we would for either of them. |

If someone had told me it wouldn't be until mid-October, before we got a first thumping, I'd have bitten their hand off.
It was a really bad day at the office, and we should all be pretty relaxed as it happens.
We desperately need Burrell and Kone to be back firing as we are toothless up top. I like Lloyd, but he is an impact sub at best. As for Kolli..... not a Championship level.player and cost us the game.
This result might not be a bad thing. Helps the players reset and shows what happens when standards drop. |

I've got a feeling this will be a game to far. End of a 3 game week with a day less recovery and Birmingham looking pretty good.
We're down to the bare bones and our attack, despite the Derby game, is pretty toothless.
I'll be delighted with a boring 0-0, but have a suspicion we'll lose 2-0. |

I'm not sure people were disappointed with the performance against Derby, I think Derby were so awful we never really got out of 2nd gear. I said at the time it said more about them than us.
Whatever happens tomorrow JS have given us something to follow and be proud of. |

Not been his biggest fan but got to tip my hat to him. His work rate was never in doubt but the final ball/decision making has been poor.
He looks a lot more direct and its probably helping that JS wants his players to be quick and aggressive.
I love his defensive work, what a pain in the arse he is.
However, I really think everyone should look at the coach. JS is making average players good. That is the sign if a top top coach. |

Stupid question, but if you allow a owner to spend what they want where does responsibility lie for paying players wages should a owner go bankrupt?
Would that not be the club? |

Thought Kolli was pretty anonymous most of the game and looking across at JS he didn't seem overly pleased with some of Kollis pressing.
Lloyd was OK. Good to get a goal.
Need Burrell and Kone back firing. |

On the way home.
Biggest win at home for a while, but the flattest atmosphere all game. Weird. Probably due to Derby shithousing from the first minute and the broken play. Probably our least impressive performance of the season, but it says more about the dog shyte opposition than us.
Mbengue injury looked really bad and Smyth was hobbling down the tunnel when subbed. Down to the bare bones now. |
