That’s what won it for us today. We must have won more tackles in that game than we have all season by some distance. Smyth, Saito, Dunne and Varane leading the charge. Kolli the same up front, and the usual tough stuff from Cook and Morrison.
No idea why we’ve been so passive this season but it was night and day today, we won that game by bring more physical and niggly and agressive and long may it continue. And all that without Field our tackler-in-chief
I have no ITK or agenda here but want to throw it out there as what else are these forums for but complete conjecture?
Is he really injured? Is this some 4D chess from Nourry to sell him? Is there something from his court case we're not being told? Has he been promised to Besiktas or Lens? Do we need the money? Does he want to go?
The bloke has held our club together for the last two years at least, without him we'd have been relegated soundly long ago.
As the last few games have also shown, we're going to badly miss him if he goes.
Noticed some murmurs about why nobody’s buying tickets to the QPR Spurs friendly.
There’s a few reasons - summer holidays, price - but the main reason is obviously that pre-season friendlies are always shite and a waste of money.
Still, there’s the odd exception:
That one where we beat Man U 4-1 under Warburton Leroy Griffiths v Chelsea The Brentford away one where we debuted Massimo Mauro, never to be seen again Our European trophy win in Ibiza
Imagine if we’d got Steve Cook instead of Dion Sanderson (weren’t we in for him then?) and Isaac Hayden instead of Jeff Hendrick (both rotting in the Newcastle reserves) that fateful season.
That tackle by Hayden in the first half was my moment of the season so far. A proper b-stard cruncher of a slide tackle, woke the away end and the whole side up, and we suddenly looked like a team again.
Take a bow son
And Chris Willock has returned from his 18 month holiday!
Fkin great away day that, loudest I’ve heard our fans in some time
I feel bad posting this, as the man has been putting in Herculean efforts for years at QPR keeping back the Championship hordes. And in the first five minutes it felt like the whole team were looking around wondering where he was to put a tackle in.
But it did also seem today that the midfield were turning and passing forwards more than I’ve seen for a while. And it’s an element of Sam’s game (and that of the gladly departed Dozzell) that we’ve been sorely lacking.
Just back and a shout out for Ossie today - playing at left back thought he was outstanding and man of the match. I know he can blow hot and cold but credit where it’s due.
Lovely to see him playing like a man possessed and flying into games. He had their right back on toast doing step overs and all sorts at one point.
Just watching Match of the Day and who else was in temporary charge of Wolves as they humiliated Chelsea at their dump than… goalkeeping coach Tony fkin Roberts. Did a decent post match interview and everything.
Senegal and Morocco through to the World Cup, which means Seny and Chair go through to the weird winter one in Qatar, as long as neither of them gets snapped up (no guarantee).
Have we ever had two players at a World Cup before?
