Match Day Thread Sheffield Weds v QPR

1500/1 and I'd put a quid on.

 

Just another one of those depressing Saturdays I guess?

 

Newcaste 3-0 up against Ipswich, very predictable, barnstorming their way to the title.

 

Injury time now, 16/1 for a late R's goal.

 

Villa cracked open Fulham late and Brentford losing at home to Barnsley, so a bad day all round for the West London teams, the only London based teams in the Championship this season.

That's it.

Sounds like we had a good go and were worth a point. Shame but not one to get upset about though no doubt some will.

 

At least the budgies lost

 

Sounds like we gave them a good game. Chery and Luongo had chances at the death.

True, and things seem to even themselves out - perhaps we were a bit lucky to get 3 pts against Bristol City last Sat and unlucky not to pick up a point today, but at least we have 3 pts from 2 games as opposed to 2. With our woeful lack of goals, failing to score again today, even if we are tight in defence, we're never going to pick up more than a point from those matches.

 

According to Clive's preview of today's match we don't have a woeful lack of goals at all:

Here's the relevant bit:

"And yet some people aren’t happy. Not happy at all.

It strikes me that the perception of how we’re doing, and how we’re actually doing, are quite different at the moment. Let’s take goal scoring for instance. It seems to be the general consensus that the current QPR team struggles to score goals, doesn’t pose an attacking threat, isn’t positive enough and so on. But, accepting that a good few have come from set pieces and penalties, the league table doesn’t back this up at all.

QPR have scored 16 goals this season which is only one fewer than third-placed Brighton, and their much-vaunted striker Glenn Murray who we’d so dearly have loved QPR to sign this summer – something we’re not afraid to remind the club about. It’s one more than fourth-placed Huddersfield and indeed sixth-placed Sheffield Wednesday who most are, nevertheless, expecting to beat us quite easily at Hillsborough tomorrow. In fact, it’s more than 11 teams in this league, and two others have managed 16 as well so only ten teams in the division have more goals than us and, of those, two have scored one more and another two have scored three more. Two of the others are Newcastle and Norwich who look all set to piss the division and go straight back up.

That’s not bad for our toothless, negative, shot-shy team with no goals in it really is it? Just the 21 shots on goal in the midweek win against Bristol City."

 

Who wanted Glenn Murray, the cheating yob?

Anybody go to the game? If we put a a decent performance it's no disgrace to lose by the odd goal against Wednesday.

 

They've downgraded to the stands and a pie Kilbs.

Foxy did report a small but vocal away support though

Highlights looked encouraging & seems we was unlucky.

 

Draw wouldn't have flattered us going from the highlights.

 

Caulker totally bottles out of an opportunity to throw himself at the ball to score just over a minute in, choosing to dangle a foot somewhere near it instead. Unlucky with the goal really. Seems a draw would have been fair.

 

What kind of twat selects Gladwin ahead of our Polish International or even Shodipo?
JFH that's who!

 

It was 4-3-3. Gladwin was in midfield.
