Agree. When we hadn't lost to them for ages I was apprehensive of the later games as you could see the direction the quality of our squad was going in. Plus hyping up the 30+ years thing almost put more pressure on not to lose. Now it's almost like there is nothing to lose. They've beaten us something like 3 of the last 4 so it doesn't sting like it first did. in fact, I would imagine it would be Burnley fans not looking forward to clarification of how they have fallen by losing to us next year if they were relegated.

If they persist in charging £30+ per game they should do a "money back if no entertainment' guarantee. For example:- Rovers don't score = you get £5 back Rovers miss penalty = you get £2 back Defensive midfielder plays up front = £8 back Striker plays at full back = £15 back and a free pie and so on.....

For some reason when I quote 2 posts it doesn’t let me type underneath the quotations on my iPad. I thought I could edit the post but that didn’t work either.

@Gav The stick being used to beat Mowbray is the sides inability to score goals. Playing left wing backs as a right forward and Johnson in attacking positions is just contributing to the main problem. Whichever way you look at it, some of the stats would be pathetic for a relegation-bound club - 0 goals in 7 away games. 6 goals in the last 14 games.

It’s not just me then 🤣

I’m not going to read the thread as I don’t want to relive it again, but did I imagine Giles pinging a lot of dangerous crosses in from the left wing against Swansea? So why is he now shoved out on the right side either slowing the play right down or compromising his delivery. If you are going to play him up top, stick him on the left side so he at least can do what he’s proved good at. Nyambe would have been slated for the service Giles’ right foot provided tonight, but it’s not really his fault for being stuck there.

I know we can't really expect it of him, but those 5 goals are probably going to have to come from Dack.

Agree with this. There's still time for it to be coached out of him, but against Fulham he wriggled free and cut inside from the left wing. There was a ball on to play JRC clear down the right side but he never got his head up at all. He was looking down at the ball with the intention of trying to twist past the next man. He'd done the first difficult bit, he just needed to do the straight forward bit. He needs to watch Rothwell more. He will dart forward past his man and advance us 15 yards up the pitch, but he will then look to move the ball on if his path is blocked.

The gap down to 7th wasn’t though. Even with the games in hand against us we had a buffer. That buffer will be gone by 5pm regardless of what results happen in the Boro and QPR games.

This league table is going to look pretty grim at 5pm.

Still waiting for that other forward of ours to “step up to the plate”. Giles is one footed and has no idea what to do on the right.

JW stand sells Guinness Surger cans for £4.50-ish without the machine required to “Surge” the pint. When you complain they haven’t got a clue what you mean.

They probably think somebody else will step up and stay on the scene, like a sex machine.

It’s amazing when you get a bullshit decision like that in the Taylor V Catterall fight how long it takes to ‘check the judges scorecards’.

Just done a bit of forum surfing. https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/queensparkrangers/forum/282936/referee-today/#5 Travis will understandably come across as a right cock to opposition fans. 😀😀😀

Good spot Chaddy.

Not sure what you’re getting at. What do you mean nice try? It’s a seriously alarming stat that over the last 10 games every team in the league have scored more goals than us. Pre-Christmas we were flying, dangerous and Brereton was free-scoring. However we now look badly in need of a goal threat. Fortunately the rock solid defence still looks good and we can generally still control games in general play such as today. But the difference between what got us to become the 3rd highest scorers in the league and where we have been since the turn of the year is alarming. We’ve still got a massive chance of the playoffs but Martonrover is right that it looks like we are now lacking the fire power to win games. Obviously a fully fit Diaz and getting an interested Rothwell back hopefully solves that problem, but at the moment we lack anyone who is showing a goal scorers instinct.

And in the last 10 games, which generally featured the squad we now have to play with, every other team in the division has scored more.

The problem is nowadays they’re not educated right at an early age. It’s all mid-table nothingness or lower league success. By the time I was leaving school I’d gone through 3 play off defeats and the Atkins OG to prepare me for realities of football.

Record ever home defeat. Record number of consecutive games without scoring. Tremendous. Especially as those big-budget Terriers and R’s are only just above us.

Most consecutive games without scoring: 11, Coventry City (Second Division, 1919–20) and Hartlepool United (Third Division, 1992–93)

Huddersfield win. Qpr win.. Sheff United Win. Luton win. Burnley win. What a night.
