JS takes credit with the transformation under his watch.
I was adamant before and after Watford he couldn’t play in a two. Can’t remember if it was that game or another where the oppo scored from a corner where Madsen had been left back to cover - critically I saw that as despite being 6 foot 4 he wasn’t trusted to try and head the ball, then he was too naive to break the break with a foul and too slow to catch up to the breakaway.
Nice guy, but totally wrong league for him, poor signing, get rid or at the very least play him as a ten in front of two dogs of war.
What’s happened since has blown me away! I could t have been more wrong and never been as happy to be!!
1st name on the team sheet now. |

Whoever hired JS deserves credit for bringing in a manager who didn’t tick the yes man box.
Post Coventry he ignored whatever he said in interview and did his own thing.
After that game Nourri will have been pretty powerless, skating thin ice with owners to report into. I’d imagine he calculated that the owners probably cared more about results than game models and anyway when you ship 7 any talk about riding out the storm flies out the window - so one way or another pragmatism took over and all the better for it.
As to what happens to the gameplay henchman I’d guess he’s just tasked with adopting a different game plan throughout the club. More physicality, direct etc. if he’s so ideologically opposed he can’t bring himself to do that he’ll have to leave. |

The main thing with Madsen is that he’s tackling player and winning headers. His quality on the ball has always been there. Last few games he’s been really good and exactly what we’ve been missing for years. |

Agree with all of the above and add to that we have a bat shit crazy manager who breaks all the rules - and it’s working! Once upon a time we couldn’t go out unless we had three centre backs. Marti proved if you occasionally pass the ball to each other you can get away with two. But two holding midfielders and one up top seemed a non negotiable.
Our new man is consistently playing Madsen in a two, plus two up top! A goal up with 15/10/5 minutes to go and surely he’ll take off a striker and bring on some stodge. Nope, just waxes lyrical after the game about not bringing on Dembele!
I can’t remember ever having a manager like this at Loftus Road?! And right now I’m loving it. |

The thought he looked slightly quicker yesterday too - maybe just sharper but collected a couple of balls I thought he’d be 2cnd too. |

Manchester based with no skin in the game, but played vets football for past 8 yrs and absolutely loved it. Fully recommend to anyone in two minds about giving it a go/feels too old etc.
hopefully it cracks on in whatever guise. |

Hold on - he had a good game today and I like him.
But you’re not saying overall he’s been good? Or even worse that anyone who thinks - overall - he hasn’t been good is uneducated 😂😂
Hopefully I’ve misunderstood …. |

Won 3 headers I saw - maybe more. Ran a man off the ball playing full back. Very nearly tackles someone. Lot of progressive passing, pass of the game to Smyth.
As a midfielder in a two he wasn’t always where he should have been and Varanne at times did two men’s jobs.
But much much better and far better than I expected before the game.
Can he play in a 2 away from home against a good team. I don’t think so,
but hope he proves me wrong.
Good game today and deserves plaudits - well done to the QPR superstore - maybe when you’re done motivating you could send out my order, only been 30 days! |

He’s had surgery. He won’t have made that up. Scans etc. if he hadn’t had injury problems he’d never have ended up here. Fit, firing he’s class. Probably mid prem class. Never understood - as frustrating as it is - why anyone would give (genuinely) injury prone players a hard time. It’s shit being injured, he’ll want to play football. Hopefully comes back strong and post surgery has a decent run of it. |

I’ve bought not for 1st time to try and watch in holiday - it’s giving me access to Sky plus, but only the West Brom game. Anyway I can get our game? Watching on iPad - any help gratefully received!
Edit - sorted had to loom the game up and popped up then [Post edited 12 Aug 20:12]

We’ve lost our best defender in Edward’s, contrived to promote our 2cnd best goalie, downgraded an OK left back and lost Colback’s bite. Our strikers don’t strike. Meanwhile we’ve bought in players who’ve all shown flashes, but may take some time to bed in. Tactically there’s not much to hang on to, so far so bleak. But who knows?! Preston are as a good a team to start off with, if we beat them maybe that starts a bit of a run. |

Remember some pretty heated conversations in the Green back then! He was 100% divisive and for a period on the wrong side of rangers history. That said overall think he’s a good egg and like others have said has done a lot for the club. Good appointment. |

Like most people think if we get close to 5 mill cash should sell.
It’s just all a bit underwhelming as a supporter. Took my 5 yr old for first time last season to 10 or so games. Who are this favourite players. Jimmy, probably off, Edwards, definitely off. Saito, probably off and Varane. To be fair he likes Nardi and he seems to be staying! Who knows who we’ll bring in, but the lot going will take some replacing! |

Has to report into manager/head coach. Any other reporting line for that job would be nuts. |
