Match Preview;
Charlton re-started the season with a win away at Hull, gaining three points that lifted them out of the relegation zone by a point. Good to see some teams returning after the break looking up for it. We didn't. I am not alone in being disappointed with our performance on Saturday, as we lost to Barnsley. In his post-match interview, Warburton stated that, 'we were nervous and hesitant, and didn't display the energy we have to display week in, week out.' Now, having had a few days to think about it, I can actually understand that. If any of us don't do a sport competitively for a few months we'd lose the cutting edge that is required to win. Given that, I'll be hoping that Warburton and his team have been able to use last Saturday's disappointing defeat to instill some fight into the team, which hopefully we'll see the benefits from against Charlton on Saturday.

Not sure when they were due to be off, but Amos and Clarke have extended their loans so they will be around until the end of the season, and otherwise I'll add team news when it goes on the official, and as always add what you know if you know it.

 

I wouldn’t honestly read too much into either result at the weekend. They played Hull who are an absolute mess.

We’ll still lose however, obviously.

 

Not hopeful!

 

Pubs can open on the 4th of July: Surely, we can go and watch a match as well?

 

So we can expect the same faces at Charlton, with the addition of Cameron.

Has everyone forgotten we are playing today? So much excitement over today's game, or not...so I feel it needs a little bump.

 

I’m excited for it being done by 2:30 rather than 5.

However if we win we’re going up.

 

12.30 KO, so longer to lick our wounds?

So we have a limited squad plus Cameron. Probably the smallest squad in the league going into the extem=nsion...only 3 u/23 players are training, and 2 first team players (Pugh and Hall) let go.

We do not seem to be interested, but Charlton are very interested
A few of Charltons better players are not taking an extension and so have been dropped.
We cannot be as bad as we were last week

I am hoping

 

Cameron for Amos
What a shock! No

But no sign of Wallace... So Manning better play better than last week

 

Consistent 4 at the back it would seem plus an old head in front of them.

 

Think amos is running out of chances, you sort of know what you'll get from Geoff, on a good day anyway...I'd give Clarke a run if we're as bad as last week

 

Glad Cameron is back, Amos not sure about him & wouldn’t sign him on loan again

 

The team was rather predictable so no much need for comment.

I doubt if I will see much if the match as I will be at a small family barbecue.

 

Have you got a social distancing policy in Poland Jan?

 

Clive's really excelled himself with this one, a great read...

I've rushed back to see this early for here 6.30 pm kick off, so we better do better than last week. Good Cameron is playing, but worrying Wallace won't be solidifying the left side of our defence.

 

Those cardboard cutouts are pretty ****!

 

He couldn’t solidify an ice cube tray so I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

Always feel we look a better side without Amos.

 

Did the commentator just describe (little) Matt Smith as a QPR legend
