After watching Big Club v Ipswich I realise just how much Big Club are arrogantly deluding themselves that they're going to waltz into the play offs. A sense of self righteous destiny. I'm not so much worried about us in this match, we're going to lose, but more the horrible reality that they might be right. That would mean they are head and shoulders better than us which is so hard to take when they were so rubbish two seasons ago. Are we so far fallen that I fear watching Birmingham fans partying in the Darwen End. I hate what Venkys have done to us. Why do I feel so bereft of hope and expectation --- other that the copious amounts of booze I've just consumed. Damn them. Set 'em up Joe.

Kyogo will be licking his lips after watching last nights game.

They’re not going anywhere mate unfortunately, nobody is going to pay the money that they'd want. Shit show.

You'll hate me for this, but I put £8 on us to go down at 9/2. £2 on another team, but I forgot who. I'd want to be compensated for absolute clown show in the boardroom and on the pitch.

🤣

Can he play upfront or right wing?

I thought exactly the same. Then wikipedia told me he was a 30 year old lower league journeyman. Then I was really concerned that he stood out so much against our team.

Tarabat was a qpr folk hero. A player that made things happen and delivered. Cantwell has none of those things so far

Is that exactly what we've got now by any chance?

Been a lot more of this sort of disparaging talk (not just from you) recently "If you're writing him off too early it's not the sport for you" If you dont rate such and such a player you know nothing about the sport" " If you can't see that we clearly played 4-1 -2-1-1-1 etc during pre season maybe it's not the sport for you" It's nothing really to do with anyone else whether someone rates a particular player or not, although you're obviously free to disagree. Mowbray seemingly didn't rate Raya that highly. Does that mean he's been in the wrong career all his life? Therefore any chance of dialling the hyperbole down a bit?

What like a robber?

Worth keeping tabs on Bradfords left back.

Playing with 10 men is a risk. Not sure what McLoughlin has done to be dropped either.

Burnley getting drawn against Derby in the second round. I laughed out loud.

I hope Brum pitch-up thinking all they have to do is turn-up to win.

Taarabt was a mercurial maestro that got QPR promoted almost single handedly. Todd Cantwell is...not that.

Chrystal meth? How many do we need, not what you would like? You've watched the games I guess? (Chaddy edited his post to make my attempt at a joke meaningless). Think meaningless might be my word of the season 🥴

Agreed 💯

Been offered a free ticket and can’t even be arsed still, even in the Kean era I went religiously but not any more. Partly swayed by going on holiday early Sunday too but even so, can’t remember being this disinterested before. Struggling to take any positives from the last few games, any at all. Hopefully the new players end up half decent and gel with the longer standing players, but for now……

Generally - not always whittaker most recent example been awful for middleborough cost them a fortune

Also really liked Telalovic..

I've not written Axel off, in fact I accounted for why he might have performed poorly.. My point was, he has looked pretty poor thus far and saying he looks better than Hedges based off those two games is crazy.. If he'd scored that goal that Hedges scored against Watford a few years ago you'd he salivating.. I can't say I'm a huge fan of Hedges, he drives me mad. He's tidy, works hard but has appalling decision making.. I am not writing the young lad off. I really hope he comes good. It's only two games.. but by the very same logic, to say he's already better than Hedges is also jumping the gun.. Not convinced by any of the new recruits ATM.. call be sinical but buying cheap generally (not always)doesn't correlate with acquiring quality.. you need to spend money for good player's...

Tbf to the guy, he can’t have trained that much to even know where he should be in those defensive set ups. Either way, I want our attacking players to show attacking intent. We need to be able to hurt teams and I think, an undercooked Henriksson looked 10x more dangerous than Hedges.

Well clearly we did given Eustace sent Lowe scouting the next opposition I think a head coach with 2 assistants plus GK coach and 2 fitness coaches
