He was firefighting today, QPR had some very mobile midfielders. I thought he did it very well. I was commenting more on his work rate and interceptions rather than his passing. As an attacking force we were awful all over the pitch. Palmer is a strange one. Undoubted ability on the ball and he did work hard but his mind seems elsewhere when the ball comes to him. The groans were long and deep in the JW by the time he lost the ball for the tenth time?

Lenihan showed again today that he is an absolute colossus for us. He does the defending of 2 men at times, rarely loses a header and sticks his head where others won't even stick their feet. Superb performance. Williams was also excellent. They both gave Leutwiler an easy afternoon. Evans again was excellent against some good players in Eze, Luongo and Freeman. Smallwood also stuck to his task manfully. It's hard to overestimate just how much work those two do for the team. Reed got stuck in too, he's like a more forward thinking Evans. Dogs of War all three of three of them (The new Holy Trinity :-)) Dack showed his class at times and I never thought for one minute he'd miss that pen. He gets very little quality ball but always looks to make things happen when he does. His cameo in the corner to waste time at the end was brilliant. A lesson in how to run the clock down. Armstrong again showed he's growing into the left-wing role but again suffers from a lack of quality passes to him. As a team that is our biggest downfall. Can't say I'm totally convinced about Bell but I thought it was a pen in the first half. Their guy seemed to push him then get the ball. Great cameo from BB, he gave them something else to think about. Rothwell has a lot to learn and Palmer is just a showboater who was so off the pace today it was scary. We are what we are. Not pretty, and today painfully dull, but no team works harder to get 3 points. Brilliant win!

Meaningless clichés. Bowyer has a very good record as manager.

Did you watch the game? Palmer was atrocious and Rothwell did very little. These aren't players that can be relied on. We won today because of pure grit and the fact we stayed in the game long enough to nick a penalty. It wasn't pretty but it's 3 points. .

He definitely had an impact today. He's all arms and legs and must be a difficult player to play against when he's running at you. He's not especially quick but he showed decent movement on a few occasions today. He looked like he could be worth a potential £1m if he keeps improving ?

Was this a joke? Pretty standard team selection.

I'm aware of what happened I was just picking you up on a specific point. i.e. we paid 'nearly' double the amount on Etuhu's wages as we have on BB. I'm guessing we didn't even pay £7m as he had his contract terminated after 2 years by mutual consent which normally involves accepting a pay-off lower than the value of the remaining contract. Regardless, a Championship club spunking £7m on a sub who isn't even trusted to play in his preferred position is almost unheard of, even for the moneyed clubs in the division. Maybe Venky's are going to embark on a genuine push for the Prem and splash the cash for a season or two? Maybe BB is just the start...but as it stands it looks at very odd signing at the price quoted. As you say, losing £30m on he garbage we previously signed happened and that's one of the reasons we are in hoc to Venky's to the tune of £120m+. With that in mind gambling £7m on BB seems illogical. At least when we spent £7m on Rhodes we were buying a genuine goal scorer. I don't even think Mogga knows what he's bought judging by his comments. Comparisons with AA are also futile when one cost £1.5m (a reasonable price) and BB cost £7m. Whatever way you look at it, £7m seems reckless. Only when he starts banging them in on a regular basis will it even look remotely good value. The same applies to AA in some ways, but for £1.5m it isn't such a gamble. Mogga will have to justify his signing of BB to Venky's at some point. My concern is he's going to lose their 'trust' if BB doesn't start contributing in the near future. Anyway, he'll score the winner today so it's all good....

Like I said, you made it up. We didn't pay Etuhu £12m-14m in wages.

Mowbray is on the defensive in the same way as he was about Gladwin. He can hardly hold his hands up and say 'I've paid £7m for a 19 year old striker who doesn't look like a striker and so I'm having to say he plays best out wide in order to buy him some time to develop', which he essentially is. He's already come out with the 'BB is brilliant in training' line in exactly the same way as he did about Gladwin. The problem is also that BB cost 10 times more than Dack. He cost 10 times more than nearly everyone at the club. That is ludicrous for a sub. It was clearly a desperation signing based on the fact Mogga had money to spend and he hadn't secured the likes of Celina and Freeman like he wanted to. There was a lot of money burning a hole in his pocket that Venky's were expecting him to be able to spend. Forest must be delighted. He may turn out to be a genius signing but every time he goes on the pitch is looks an incredibly reckless piece of business on behalf of Venky's. If they don't mind then fair enough.

You literally made that up, FFS!

Disgraceful post. I am outraged. Mowbray got his team selection and tactics wrong and left Bennett exposed. Look at the cause not the symptoms. Biz, have a word with him. I know you too have been scarred by the Sheff Utd game because you keep bringing it up, albeit in a more precious way.

I'm thinking Jesper Olsen's aggression, Jan Molby's engine and Ralph Coates hair

Chaddy laughing at the thought of Biz's demise. Absolutely disgraceful use of an emoji from Chaddy.

Pleasure. There was definitely a thread somewhere on it but I can't find it.

I'm sure I read someone on here (maybe @meadows ) had a relative who was there when the bridge collapsed.

When I think of QPR and Rovers I think of Simon Barker and Roy Wegerle. Loved Simon Barker. Anyway here they are combining for what was some ITV goal of the month or year or summat. Think he shouted 'megs' at Batty:-

35 thousand of 'em. Slightly less than Burnley's normal away following.

From the train station you can do a pretty good pub crawl down Friargate …. and then it's a mile and a half walk to the ground. It's the way the police used to take the Dingles. They trashed Roper Hall once on the way back.

If Glenn Hoddle is really unlucky he'll be reincarnated as Glenn Hoddle and have to perform this for all eternity.

Is Fisher the bigger of the two giants to the left of the trophy holder (with his face blocked by the other giants arm)? The keeper we've just sent to Warrington Town (Albinson) is the blonde lad with his left arm aloft (next to Costello on crutches) so he must be 6 foot ish.

Put your bitching, moans, hissy fits and occasional comments on the football in here. This is the game we finally beat someone by more than 1 goal. Rovers 2 QPR 0 12,220

He was a BAC. To answer your other question here's a decent essay on the subject of US Christians and reincarnation. https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2015/10/21/25-percent-us-christians-believe-reincarnation-whats-wrong-picture Some theologians believe reincarnation contradicts Christian teachings (that man dies once and is then judged) but it is apparently becoming a more popular belief amongst in the West. Reincarnation isn't meant to be vengeful though in the way Hoddle portrayed it. Personally, I find it baffling that a man in Hoddles position would have come out with such offensive claptrap. ..and if someone doesn't find it offensive they will hopefully be reincarnated as a slug.

Unsall is having a bit of a mare when you put it like that. It's a shame for the lad.

MB gold.
