Match Day Thread Swansea vs QPR

Adomah cross, Gray sweet volley on target I think, blocked unwittingly.

 

Deliberate attempt to screw up my prediction league guesses. Just like Foolham. ****ers.

 

We go close again but a limping cramped? Chair cant reach it.

 

FT 1-0. Deserved just about.

 

Wins > Loses; gd +ve; top half. Could be worse...

 

Great support from our 700. Great send off for all, especially those who are leaving or maybe leaving.

 

More points than last season (well one more point).

 

Top half, yay!

 

Great pass to chair

 

Good finish to the season.

 

? Last year 9th with 68 points, this year 11th with 66. Or am I missing something?

 

You’re right! Must have missed our last win. Oh well. At least we go into next season on a winning streak

 

Just posted this on our board:

“Well, what can I say about that match?

First of all, QPR deserved to win, and secondly their number 10 was - by a country mile - the best player on the pitch. We said first half that he was looking a decent player and in the second half he was even better.

The match itself looked as if it was an end of season match between 2 mid-table sides -which of course is what it was - seemed to us that some of the players were already on the beach and were wearing flip flops rather than their boots

There were more sounds of dissatisfaction from the crowd over the insistence to pass the ball back and then back again …..

A promotion push next season? On that display - which typified some of the early season crap we’d had the misfortune to witness - it’s more likely a relegation scrap, but next season there won’t (probably ?) be teams hit by points deductions …

Anyway have a good Summer

 

Loudest it’s been all season - waited until the final match of the season

Bang average game apart from the last 10 mins. Well done to the QPR supporters who kept the atmosphere going! Bunch of nutters Glad I was in the away end today.

 

I obviously love Charlie for everything he has done for the club both times he was here.
However he is at the top of our wage cap (with rumoured extra payments for coaching). It wouldn't matter if he was as fit as a fiddle putting in a shift every week, but he is not.

Yes he does score lovely "Charlie Austin" goals like last week vs Sheff United. But he isn't fit enough to put in a shift twice a week in the Championship. We do need to free up the money and squad space.

Carrying players, who have expected to play ( and for the money we are paying them..we expect them to play) was one of our downfalls...Austin, Johanssen, Wallace, Adomeh. Were expensive and probably did not warrant being top of our wage structure

 

All true.
However, it sounds as though the club and bloody Les Ferdinand could have handled it so much better.

All this "the club is being run the right way now" seems complete bollocks.

 

He would have been paid for today so why not put him on the bench

 

The banter between the fans was good - and our lot were wrong when they sang ‘You only sing when you’re winning …’.

A draw ‘off the pitch’ - a (deserved) QPR win on it
