It's only August and Julien is already being sent to Coventry - Match Thread 13:12 - Aug 21 with 49905 viewsFDC

In 20 odd years I don't think I've ever started one of these.

I'm thinking (hoping) we will go with a three man midfield this weekend, with Morgan, Field and Varane. Coventry scored five last weekend! We can't afford to concede too early, and will need to score first to get anything out of it IMO. An early Coventry goal, supporters getting aggy... gulp.

We all want a box-to-box no. 8, but these players are high value and not easy to sign on the cheap. He's young, and a bit slight, but I wonder if we need to start thinking about cultivating Morgan in this role as a long term solution? We know he can get stuck in, he's got bags of energy, and popped up with an absolute thunder-bastard last weekend.

Poku being out actually makes this an easier decision to make, because we can play Chair and Dembele either side of Burrell (or Kone if fit) without agonizing over who gets left out.

Presumably Dunne returns at RB, Esquardinho returns at LB, and Morrison and Mbengue start at CB.

This was your debut match fred as well, wasn't it? Perhaps best to give it another 20 years before starting another one

So, our clueless absentee owners appointed a 26 year old with zero background in football as CEO and DOF. The know nothing 26 year old lucks out with a manager who keeps a horrific looking squad in the Championship for the last two seasons and then fires him for some made up BS. Leicester immediately pick up the manager who was deemed not good enough for us. The 26 year old then appoints a Frenchman with zero experience of English football, Julien Stephan, who quickly shows he is totally out of his depth. How does this story end?

Their XG was 1.11.

Just goes to show when it comes to professional football, you cant run a football club based on data and any club that does so from top to bottom, well just answer this question -

How often does technology go wrong ???

Every flipping day....

Time to bring back football people back in charge of our club at all levels...

Nourry, Williams, De Sousa and Stephan please close the door on the way out and turn that fricking computer off thank you !!!!!

Would suggest a protest outside the ground but you get arrested these days for suggesting such things...


Oh how i love the modern world!!!

Flights out of Heathrow.


Re. this comment and others. Look, I know it's an awful, horrific night for everyone - but the one thing that keeps me going is the laugh-out-loud humour of Rangers fans on this site. Just superb. It's awful, horrendous, mortifying - but the comedy on this site keeps me going and sane in our darkest moments. And tonight is one.

I'm getting strange looks here but I don't care. With the galliows (guillotine) humour of our fans, we'd be top of the Premier League, defo.

Still fuming as Rangers manage to ruin another weekend. bailed on 40 mins on the stream like a lot of people I imagine, but fk me that second goal.

Summed up the slow, casual, careless approach to the game dominated by Coventry swarming all over our goal kicks rubbing their hands.

I refuse to believe we’d be worse off hoofing every single goal kick to Dunne, that’s what one of the defenders ends up doing anyway

With someone being given a puppy, I'm hoping, but I have a nasty feeling that I might be wrong

"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

I would, if the project entailed being a football club that would bust a gut, trying to win every league and cup match that came along.
But, we don't, and so I can't.

And yet those of us who want us to put effort into cup games are somehow Luddites. Never been so embarrassed in my club as now. Where's the pride? Where's the personal responsibility?!

Dear Ben Williams
If you must insist on a slow burn to fitness
at the start of the season could you please
start training at least a month sooner as
that is how far we seem behind
Kind regards

There was an ever so slightly nod to sarcasm, not
least as "project" as defined by the PMI has to be "within a defined timeline to accomplish a specific set of goals"

Panic over, we only lost 7-1.

Can’t wait for this dickhead manager to tell us how well we battled in the second half.


What's with all the anti French stuff. You were like it after one game then you confessed to to being shite at school and now this. Have you had a painful past?
