  1. Excellent result. I thought before the game it would be a tough game but I underestimated how bad Norwich are. We completely outclassed them. Hill with an absolute defensive masterclass. He's a top player. Dolan had one of his best games in a Rovers shirt I thought. Sammie did what Sammie does. I felt Wharton got some of the ball and I didn't think it was a red. But I doubt it will be overturned as it's not an obvious mistake from the ref. The injuries are stacking up which is a concern. Intl break will come at a good time for us but one game to get through first.
  2. Excellent half. We need that third goal to kill it off. It would be criminal if we let a dreadful Norwich side get anything from this game. Wagner will be gone after today.
  3. There's no doubt Telalovic was on our Z list of targets. As the deadline got closer, a decision had to be made on whether we sign a Z lister or no striker at all. No striker at all would have been a PR disaster. Telalovic is so far off it that I don't think he'll ever get a run of games here. Once Gally is back I don't think Tel will even make the bench. Only seen brief cameos like everyone else but I'm pretty confident in saying he won't make it. Leonard, on the other hand, is a real prospect. Think he's going to be a very player. Ennis is a good player too but completely out of shape.
  4. That was awful. Swansea are a poor side but we didn't turn up today.
  5. A game we should win and probably will. Yet again, this is the championship so anything could happen. Big blow with Hyam out as he and Szmodics are our best players. Doesn't sound like he'll be out for too long though, probably 2-3 weeks.
  6. Interesting that not one of the past three managers we've beaten have said that we were the best team they've played this season. Funny how opposition managers no longer heap praise on you when they haven't banged in 3-4 goals and created a zillion chances... This is a much better style of football imo. It's far more measured and pragmatic and one that will yield very positive results, as we're already seeing. If we had the quality of a Leeds or Leicester then I'd be up for for all out attack football but we don't unfortunately. JDT has quickly adapted the game plan to his credit, even though it's not quite how he wants his teams to play.
  7. That's an excellent result. Not many teams will win there. We looked miles better than them. They chuck everything at you but don't have a lot of quality. Tronstad and Hill have made a huge difference to this side.
  8. I feel like Leo will develop into a good GK but he doesn't look ready yet. I don't have any confidence Pears will become a good GK.
  9. We've been the far superior team. A set piece goal is my only worry.
  10. How many goals and points have our GKs cost us this season? Really hard to come back from a goal behind in this league.
  11. Anyone who thought we made a mistake in signing Hill over Batth in the summer now feels pretty silly. I include myself in that list!
  12. Completely agree. Those midfield two are a lot more disciplined in their defensive work and don't get overrun. That's really helped Carter too.
  13. Phew! That wasn't comfortable at all but a really good win. A game we needed to win really. Tronstad, Hill, and Carter were all excellent. One bit of quality from Dolan to win us the game. The gung ho football has been axed which is good to see. Less entertainment but we will see better results.
  14. Give that linesman a medal. Never offside but we'll take it. Front 4 been poor. Need some changes. Pickering and Dolan off. Markanday and Ennis on.
  15. Have to be winning games like this - and I think we will fairly comfortably.
  16. Most improved player in the league over the past 12 months? He's been one of the best players in the championship this season. Certainly been our best player so far. First half of last season it felt like Peterborough had done well getting the price they did for him. Now he looks like an absolute bargain. Him, Hyam, and Brittain were all top signings last summer.
  17. Interesting that he didn't throw Telalovic on for 20 mins with the game won. I thought that would have been the perfect opportunity to give him some minutes. I don't think he'll be in the match day squad after the intl break with Leonard back.
  18. Excellent win and performance. QPR will be in league one next year. We won't have an easier game this season.
  19. Very happy with that. QPR have been as bad as I hoped they would be and we've been pretty good. Surely we go on to win from here. All the new signings on show looking good. Starting to make an impact.
  20. Their chance is that they're playing a team that is out of form and results. Add no striker and the worst defensive record into the mix and QPR must also be confident of a win today. Gareth Ainsworth teams do not play tippy tippy football. Quite the opposite.
  21. QPR fans not happy with their line up either so maybe we have a chance!
  22. BBD had a huge amount of potential and was a top young talent at Forest. Telalovic is 23 years old and not played at anywhere near the level of the championship in his life. He was a cheap punt who was probably bottom of the transfer list of targets but had to make do as we had no money. The first glimpses of him and the guy can't even run.
