This is the QPR squad with some decent players but nothing to fear. I really want to see some real intensity to our play, quick, sharp incisive passing and lots of movement. Obviously winning is the most important thing but if we can win with the afore mentioned qualities I'll be delighted. Today could be the start of a new era on the pitch for us, an era were we are entertained, were we can see a plan by the manager and see plenty of goals and points. The rest will take care of itself.

It's something that rarely happens in fairness. Since the change I can only think of one instance when it has happened at Ewood. Our supporters went mad at the referee but on this occasion he was totally correct.

The law on offside changed several years ago so now the free kick is given from where the player who was in an offside position touched the ball, even if he's in his own half.

They reminded me so much of us under Mowbray. A team without a plan.

I have to say Burnley were impressive in the first half and could easily be three up. Their press is really good as is the passing. That said Huddersfield are poor and it looks like they only have nine players such is Burnleys dominance. I think Huddersfield might just crash and burn this season. On the back of an unlucky playoff final defeat they have lost their manager and best two players.

I noticed Swag reported a 'significant spike' in Young Adult season tickets which is great. If he dug deeper he would know that lots in that category have more disposable income than the majority of others. He said he understands the socio economic situation but that doesn't seem to have deterred him from isolating many who simply can't afford them.

Apologies he did until 2026. Transfermarket hasn't updated. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/blackburn-rovers/berateruebersicht/verein/164

There is such a thing as a good foul, a foul which perhaps stops a promising move but overall so many are petty and in innocuous areas.

I'm the same but my gas, electricity and fuel are essential to live comfortably and for some it's a stark reality of justifying a season ticket in the current financial climate. And therefore the huge increases we are seeing in them is likely to prevent some casual supporters from buying them. Of course reducing prices of season tickets would have been a gamble but a calculated one in my opinion. I know some posters don't like the Nobbers comparison but that really is the yardstick for me.

In fairness Andy it's a posh scouse accent 😃. Hopefully it will be the making of him. He seems forthright and honest which are two assets needed for a captain.

I like to think I am reasonable. I understand that there is a big turnover of players at football clubs and accept that. What frustrates me is that these have walked away for nothing at a time when we seem desperate for cash mainly to be P&S compliant. Parachute payments (of which we were once the beneficiaries) are unfair but they have been with us for some time now and I don't see that changing in the near future. I agree entirely with your last sentence but sadly I fear they will win.

I can't agree that they are happy to let players leave for free - it's because they don't want to keep putting these extraordinary amounts in that we are seeing these cutbacks. But what about replacing the outgoing players? We have just paid £1m for Nyambes direct replacement and I'd wager he will be on what Nyambe earned on his deal. And what are we going to offer Brereton, are we going to exceed this wage structure? along with Brereton both Travis and Dack are out of contract next year although the club appear to have one year options on them. Will we see another situation like this summer?

These slimy, greedy agents you refer to operate in the same way at every club. They are paid to get the best deal for their clients but many other clubs seem to be able to deal with them. If Phillips leaves that will be four players walking away after refusing a new deal and potentially the jewel in our crown doing similar next summer. I can't think of any club that has lost four players in similar circumstances at once. I could accept one of two but four? Surely fans are in order to question that.

I like his attitude and for me he is a worthy successor to Lenihan but he needs to really try and reduce the number of silly yellow cards. He is going to be vital for us this season and we need him on the pitch as often as possible.

And shortly after John Williams reduced the prices and we sold a lot more. And that is proof of what most of us are saying - reduce prices and sell more. Instead he knows 8000 or so will always but there and is happy to rinse them instead.

Marcus Tavernier (who I hear some of you saying) has signed for Bournemouth for £12.5m from Middlesbrough. That is scary. If ever there was an average Joe he is it.

It's almost like he has given up on growing the season ticket numbers and is happy to take money from the 8000 or so who will turn up irrespective. For the life in me I just don't understand why a different approach wasn't taken and perhaps something radical tried. Surely it would be worth a gamble for one season. At least he can then justify 'we've tried' excuse if it doesn't work.

He has certainly stamped his mark on our club. He still wears the fools cap to me though.

For me it's important to get off to a good start and having a strong squad from the off would give us a far better chance of this. Before the window closes there are 21 points to play for which could well have a big bearing on the season. Our usual last day scramble is what I'm fearing when we are looking in the bargain bucket. If we have money to spend on identified targets then we should be pushing ahead to get them in quickly.

A big lump of a centre half nutmegs our star striker in an extraordinary way 😂😂😂 Tomasson's reaction along with several players is funny.

To me it was a back four with Carter at right back and Pickering on the left with two centre halves in Wharton and Phillips. In the second half Carter went to centre half to accommodate Brittain.

Aside from Accrington when availability dictated the formation we have played a back four which I think Tomasson prefers particularly now as he has a decent right back. Progressively over the pre season games I have noticed we have looked quicker and look to play an early pass rather than take too many touches. The interchanging of the front players has also been a feature. I have sat behind Tomasson on three of the games and he has barked at forward players several times for not dropping deeper and tracking back when out of possession. Along with that we look a lot fitter than we have for a few pre seasons now. For the first time in a while I believe we are creating an identity, a way to play which really enthuses me for the future. The players seem to be buying in to this also.

I had a similar problem creating an account for my granddaughter to buy her season ticket. Because I used my email address to create her account it wouldn't let me set it up as I simply wanted to link my account to her new one. The system they have apparently doesn't allow two accounts with the same email. I actually ended up driving down and doing the transaction over the counter. By the way she is ten and her mum, quite rightly doesn't want her to have an email address.

I think your first sentence is good but you've killed it with a silly sentence at the end.

I find with these young kids loaned from PL clubs that they are two extremes, either very good (Elliot) or very poor (Clarkson) so I'll reservations judgement until I've seen him play a few competitive League matches. My real worry though is that bringing them in stifles the progress of our own youngsters in this case Garrett and Wharton.
