Match Day Thread QPR vs Blackburn

Alas the ravages of age.

Fell asleep at HT and woke up when Mrs RTID came to check why I had not shouted the house down when we scored!

Well done Rangers. Another pleasant footballing weekend.

 

Maybe she read it as 13:20! Should have gone to...
Sorry you missed it Mate. It was a guts and glory display.

 

Couldn't really follow today beyond the score. Great win and great to win scrappy. You Rs!

 

For those, like me who couldn't watch the game some highlights to enjoy:

 

I could hardly take my eyes off it, may not have been great to watch as a neutral but there were many, many close opportunities for both sides, and the game could have gone either way the whole 96 minutes.

 

All about results at the moment. A really scrappy affair which I thought we handled very well. It was always going to take a goal like that to win it. Dieng pulled a couple of blinders off again whilst Barbet has been very good for a fair few weeks now. I actually thought Ball would be subbed to save a 2nd booking but he managed to control himself. Not the prettiest game but an excellent result.

 

No idea if that's a fair reflection of the game but you can see why Blackburn will be annoyed at missing some of their chances.

 

No more than we've been annoyed at our strikers before Charlie arrived. It's about time we had a bit of luck in front of goal, and Barbet was fortunate the pinball landed at his feet and he managed to tuck it away. Would happily take one of those every week

 

Odd as it doesn't show their best chance ...the great shot that Dieng parried into the path of the Blackburn striker and Dickie blocked on the line

great great defending...as both shots could not have been faulted for strength or accuracy

 

Possibly true, but who cares we won and bagged three points.

 

Hear! Hear!

 

Very true!

I was also very engrossed and unusually attentive in watching the match.

 

I'm eager to head an update on Dykes.

It was quite worrying at the time because all his limbs were dead weight. And he seemed to go pale. He looked totally out of it when they tried to stand him up.

I also knew it was bad as soon as he went down because Dykes never stays down and rolls around like some players.

Also, we could really do with not losing a striker.

[Edit]
Just found this at the bottom of the Warburton reflection article on the QPR site:

Not much info.

 

After all is said and done, we did a job and the Venky’s chicken pluckers were well and truly plucked ,I’ll get me coat
