Thread | Remember Rob Green
at 20:19 24 Nov 2022
Rangers since 1971...West London native...lived in the Los Angeles area for the last 23 years. The build-up to the England-USA game reaching ridiculous heights on Fox Sports, our official FIFA apologist sports-washing broadcaster as the natural desire to beat the English manifests itself. Hoping for any kind of win, so I can make fun of my American colleagues at work. Three-word dressing room speech before game: 'Remember Rob Green'. |

Shades of Traore to Mackie as Cash heads in Digne's cross. I would, to quote Kevin Keegan, 'love it' if City blow it. |

Guardian reports: former England manager and United assistant manager Steve McClaren is under consideration to become Ten Hag's No2, should the Dutchman be appointed at Old Trafford.

Thread | Random Wednesday draw opinions
at 00:09 5 Oct 2020
Vive La France! Yohan Barbet is rapidly becoming my favourite player. Yes, he can be crap defensively but then his je ne sais quoi sublime skill breaks out. That volley that should have led to a draw at Coventry (maybe he could then have organized the team at corners) and now that perfect curling `go on my son, put that one away` cross for debutant Bonne to head home in injury time on Saturday.Â
Wednesday boss Gary Monk said afterwards that because his team was down to 10 men after centre back Lees went off injured, his players couldn't get out to block crosses. But you still have to be able to pick a cross like that out, even when in the clear. Ryan Manning can do it from time to time and emergency winger Barbet did it after getting a square ball from fellow centre back Dickie. You see on the video highlights that Bonne raises his arm for the ball as Barbet gets the pass from Dickie. The Frenchman has that in his brain and hits his target perfectly. Bonne reacts with a scorer's instinct and muscle memory and without thought heads it in.
It was really pleasing to see fellow striker, the starved-of-service Aussie-Scot Lyndon Dykes, be the first to celebrate enthusiastically with Bonne. No hidden jealousy or bad body language there. Maybe two up front can work with them where it didn't last season with Wells and Hughill. Against that, twin strikers do not sound innovative or trendy enough for what has been dubbed Warbsball.
Wallace is another natural left-footer and despite an error-strewn start to the season and aging legs, is better defensively than Manning. Maybe he could have conjured up a cross like the Frenchie in crunch time but I doubt it.Â
And talking about left-footers, the Wednesday's Barry Bannan has been a Ranger slayer in recent times and his skill created their goal with no-one putting pressure on him. Made me day dream about Warbs detailing Amos to man mark him like Mourinho sometimes used Anders Herrera for Man U. Probably would not have worked but Bannan seemed like only Sheffield player who could really hurt us.
Clive was right to highlight the curious way Wednesday played with their low-risk Route One approach. That Gary Monk of tactical Swansea fame should be doing that with battering ram new Centre Forward Callum Paterson was especially strange. They funneled back and looked to hold on to one-nil for last 20-25 minutes. At least our boss sticks to his ideals even if some of us wish he would be more pragmatic now and then.Â
My final words would be to say that Osman Kakay continues to be a revelation, hitting a level of consistency that many of his teammates would do well to emulate. And then Mass Luongo was fired up and fantastic, a striking contrast to our other former favourite Luke Freeman who did not impress for ailing Forest in that first game.

This item is out there on the Web reporting on the pre-season predictions by the number-crunchers at FiveThirtyEight:
QPR were predicted to finish 13th by the data experts at the start of the season with 62 points. In reality, QPR finished 13th on 58 points.
Interesting, seeing as how our internal QPR fan narrative is of valiantly seeing off predictions we would be in for a season-long relegation battle. Disagree personally with those 'data experts' and still think we done great under Warbs Warburton. |

Thread | Bus Stop Brentford

Just caught up with Clive's 'angry-as-hell-and-not-going-to-take-it-anymore' preview of the Blackburn game in which he correctly skewers Rangers and Warburton for the daft team selection for the 4th Round cuptie.
Even worse for Brentford who put out a piss-poor Second Eleven for their big cup game at home against Leicester and went down lamely 1-0. And then all the players rested for the promotion push game Tuesday night against Forest lose 1-0. That worked out well! Can see squad rotation machinations might be in order for too-good-for-us Liverpool and Man City. Bees and Rs not so much. |

Thread | Listening note - Leeds, Grealish and WSL
at 01:44 21 Jan 2020
QPR fan, journalist and friend of LFW Flo Lloyd-Hughes has some interesting things to say on latest Guardian Football Weekly podcast. About 42 minutes in, opines on Leeds meltdown. Earlier, explains why many of us do not like Jack Grealish and also has a very good riff on WSL latest. Worth a listen. |
