Well, back to a mates house who came with us.

Delighted we won that, desperately needed a win.

Kone, we've got ourselves a proper striker. Puts himself about, takes his chances and has a decent amount of pace.

Defence looks a lot better today. Mbengue looks a quality signing. Love him already.

Midfield
Vale pressed well but lacks a bit of pace.
Madsden did ok today on the second half
Varane didn't really do much, not sure what the bust up with Morrison on the first half was all about by Walsh had to get in between them

Dembele frustrates. Needs to learn from the little 🇯🇵⭐

Burrell caused then problems with his pace.

Walsh, please please please can we give him then next few games off. Confidence is shot and fans turning on him how. Totally at fault for the goal, distribution poor and dropped a couple too

Now.... Where do I start.....

Saito, everything you want from a player.
Energy, commitment, flair. Brilliant display and lifted the crowd and the team.

Charlton were poor though. We got a bit lucky in places and need to move the ball with pace...but happy with them win

Crowd was actually singing 'We want our Nardi back' in the second half.

I can hear Clive at various times in the past saying along the lines of "We have to enjoy the victories, because they're few and far between and there's a lot of nonsense that comes with supporting QPR". So, absolutely, we have to celebrate the win and the 3 pts and the improvements and of course beating Nathan Jones.

If I'm being honest, though, it was a low standard game, with both teams struggling to string more than 3 passes together. I suppose we did at least try to do that at times which can't be said of Charlton.

Agreed very much with Stephan's post-game comments. We started with a bit of life in us for a change and had a good 20 minutes - even Madsen won a tackle! Around the time of the Kone stoppage Jones had his players around him and they came back into the game. Had us on the back foot for 10-15 minutes before half-time. Second half was very even, very little of real quality from either side, but it was our subs that changed things. Saito obviously - got to love the little fella! - with the goal and his all round enthusiasm. Burrell also, with that pace against a tiring defence.

Agree also with those posters who said Mbengue looks like a loose cannon. Dembele hmm. And surprised Vale lasted as long as he did, he was puffing early on. And we all look short of fitness tbh, but that's obviously an ongoing issue.

Anyway, as said, got to enjoy the wins because they don't come around too often.

I'd actually do the opposite. Give him 20 games, tell him you're No1. Then review. He hasn't cost us any points yet. It hasn't helped him that the backline keeps getting change, it needs a settled back 5.

Also, fans singing for Nardi are not helping.


Agree, if we drop him now he's done here.

Mbengue isn’t perfect but the amount of loose balls he cleared in our box was exceptional. I’m ok with a defender just being good at the dirty side of the game

Mdengue is perfect. Alfie Lloyd’s enthusiasm, Taiao and Diakite madness all rolled into one

I really like Mbengue but it's concerning that he's already accumulated 3 yellows in 4 games played.

Reading said that's what he does, he loves a yellow.

The counter is that he's a character and fans get behind that. As do the players. We need leaders.

Big, bold, enthusiastic, strong

Clumsy, impulsive

Premier league? No chance

Championship? 👊

Ironically the polar opposite of Edward’s, who’s calm and cultured.

Mbengue is like a Tazmanian devil, on heat….and amphetamine.

Horses for courses.

I wouldn't disagree with your assessment. As I say, I really like him. Just a bit worried about potential suspensions this season given the fragility of some of CBs.

We've got two Dev players in that position who look decent though. 🤞

That's true. Although I'm not sure they're quite up to speed yet but Smith and Akindileni are two classy looking youngsters who should be able to fill in for a few games. I'm very much looking forward to them coming of age.

Yeah I thought Morrison did OK but Mbengue, as lovable as he is, did some bizarre play on occasions and although I detest Nathan Jones with a passion, many referees would have given him a second yellow. I don't understand Field being left out, very harsh in my opinion.

A fully fit Varane is going to make an impact this season, though, if we keep him.


and wears studs suitable to the conditions. Three times wasn't it that he slipped over?

The grass is always greener.

On TV it looked like Mbengue had a pretty bad game except for that amazing run when he got crushed in the tackle, got the crowd fired up then fell down grabbing his hip area.
Close to giving away a penalty constantly being caught on the wrong side leads to bad sh*t happening to us.
Lots of dangerous frees to Charlton luckily their delivers were mostly bad and despite all his dteractors Walsh did save a near post rocket .Agreed he looks shaky and cannot catch cleanly which causes panic in our Defense .
Great 3rd goal explosion of relief and joy at Loftus Road came across loud and clear .3 golden points pity about the break we are on a winning streak and always lose the first game back


Just to say I'm feeling very chipper this morning, not only because of a much needed win, but I was explaining to a fellow season ticket holder at the match about one of my best experiences of a midday match being away at The Valley circa 2007 when a .... scored the winner. For the life of me I couldn't remember the individuals' name, until I woke up at around 2am this morning amd the name ADAM BOLDER came to me! Anyway, have lovely Sundays everyone!
