Agreed. He'd have been better signing a new contract and trying to develop with QPR. His career looks like it will end a few divisions down from championship. I suppose at least he will have made some good money for himself with a decent contract at Bristol City. |

Good point at the end there. Oxford are no mugs. There's a tendency amongst some of our supporters to expect us to beat pretty much any team outside the top six. Any game we do win is often passed off as a win against a poor side we should have been beating easily any way. I think a bit more credit and recognition is due to just how hard teams have to work to pick up points in this division. There's no one just going to roll over and give you three points (apart from us at Coventry!) |

I'm not claiming to know any more about managing a football team than you or anyone else. It would have been great to get a win tonight and if we'd had the same starting 11 as in recent games then you'd fancy our chances of getting one. That being said, Oxford defended well and were just about worth their point.
Hopefully the fresh(er) legs we'll have available against Bristol City on Saturday will get us three points. I think we'll do better against a team who want to attack rather than just sit in and play for the clean sheet. |

I'm not so sure. Don't think you can just keep playing the same team week in week out without players burning out. I thought JS made the subs early enough to have an impact and on another day we might have nicked a winner (could also have lost right at the end). We defended well. Dunne still not at his best but pleasing to see Cook last the full 90 and RND gets better with each game. Madsen clearly playing with much more confidence. Won a few headers and showed good physicality on the touchlines to win us a couple of throw ins. We're a much easier side to watch when he's on the pitch. |

And that really average Charlton team we beat could go third tonight if current scores stay the same. Anyone could make the playoffs or even autos this year. |

Big upgrade on Ashby. I think he defends better than Paal but not as good with the ball at his feet |

Apologies. I got the facts wrong about the training ground confrontation which was aimed at CN rather than JS. There were however plenty who made their minds up very quickly about JS. He had a derogatory nickname (Le Shrug) I think even before the Coventry game.
Nice to see that people are coming around to seeing that he might be doing a decent job and that a lot of the recruitment has actually been pretty good. Things can turn very quickly though so I'll just try and enjoy it while we're doing well. |

Truly incredible that he cost less than Charlton paid us for Kelman. Also baffled that no teams with bigger budgets outbid us. |

A few weeks ago, everyone was raging that the players were unfit. There was talk of confronting the manager at the training ground.
Today we had 10 players play 90 minutes and keep a clean sheet against a form side (many have said we've only beaten rubbish teams before today). There's no midweek game so the players have plenty of time to recover. Can't we just enjoy the result and congratulate the team and manager on a good performance?
Also worth pointing out that the two supposedly ropey teams we beat recently both had very good wins away from home today. Championship is wide open this year. Nobody is going to run away with it. |

We're in a reasonable position in that our current two centre backs are doing pretty well. Akindelini is a bright prospect for the future. Cook can chip in if needed and JCS we know is class if he can stay fit. Also Field can do a job at LCB especially if he's not getting as many minutes at CM. We don't have to go begging to Edwards but I think he'll see us as a great place to come and kick on in his career. And he'll know that he'll be loved by the fans. |

He's 22. Needs to be at a club where he's playing regularly or he runs the risk of his career fizzling out before it's fully started. I reckon he'll be aware of this and will be keen to move on whether that's with us or with someone else who will appreciate him. |

Super Ray came along around the time my dad started taking me to Loftus Road. I just assumed every team must have a player that good in the heart of their midfield. An absolute legend and a gentleman. |

By a man physically stronger and taller than them. It happens. Not many strikers of that size in the league. Although we didn't win many headers we generally dealt with their threats pretty well. |

Leaburn had the better of them in the air because he's about 4 inches taller than Morrison and 6-8 inches taller than Mbengue. Not sure there was much chance of them winning many headers against him. More about how we defended the flick ons from him which we did well enough. I thought their big winger was decent and troubled Morrison once or twice like he struggled a bit with Watfords big physical players. |

He's had a few decent assists when he had that good little run towards the end of last season. When he's bad he's baggage but he's also one of the only players capable of stitching play together.
Consistency is the key and rotating the squad. There'll be away games where it's just not the right environment for him like Millwall. If he can find consistency and the manager uses him correctly then he can be a useful player for us like he was today. |

On the bench again today. Ce on for the last two minutes. He can't be happy playing so little. |

Fantastic. I work in a school in central London and we have a lot of Japanese families. The kids are all so nice and well behaved. Something wonderful about the Japanese culture is that they value respect and hardwork so highly and if Koki is anything to go by, they also have a sense of humour. |
