Anyone remember igors 1st game?

Beat me to it! I was clutching at that straw too…then I remembered your prediction.

He’s got a week to work a miracle…could start with a therapist, and that’s just for us.

I bet he'd still do better than most of this lot. God they're b####y awful! 🤬

Never saw it as was out for valentines, did look at BBC now and then and first off it said we were all over them, then went down hill.

Massive improvement needed for next week.

QPR, a team in form with 10 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats from their last 18 games. We were in it until an Adams error gave them an opportunity, JWZ 2 yards too far to his right as well didn't help. 1-0. JWZ had to go for the ball for the 2nd or the ball was likely to drop to a QPR player, could only get a hand on it, couldn't hold it, 2-0. 3rd Clarke too slow. 4th from a free kick. This will tell Eustace a lot.

First time this season we've looked like relegation favourites. We were all over them like a rash for 15 minutes. When we got the ball players had time and space. Then the Adams/JWZ double act to gift them the 1st and then the roles got reversed. They were all over us, denying us time and space and we gave them the freedom of Loftus Road.

We can play well but need to do it for 90 minutes. We really have our work cut out to stay up.

Truth is we were never ‘all over them’, Sith. We held our own and it was relatively even for the first 15-20 mins, but that was as good as it got.
Once the second went in you could see the remnants of whatever confidence we had left drain away and the gulf in self belief rapidly translated to a gulf in class. Tbf we mostly stuck at it, but for more than half that match it looked like two teams a division apart…and QPR aren’t that good.

Hope Salvesen isn’t properly injured, mind you, unless we get some service to him he’s wasted anyway and that may not be sorted until either Ward, Wilson or Blackett Taylor return to fitness.

I'm never a fan of saying a game is must win, but surely next week is getting into that category.

But if we go down so be it. I'll still be there next season regardless.

That's the only way to look at it Sith, accept our fate and hope for better times.

Que sera, sera. I'm over with 'er indoors for the Millwall game next week. Back again for B'burn and Coffintree. Stoke game too. Might do another in April. That will take me to 10 for the season. 8 to 10 again next season regardless of what League we're in.

DTID and chuffin' well prahd on it... as they say.... somewhere.

I know we will be ok next season, but do have concerns my Dad isn't going to be going for too many more. He'll be 87 this year, although he's enjoying his free season ticket.

Not sure what I'll do then. I think I'll keep going and i of course know people around me after all these years. Weirdly everyone on our row is from Kilburn, not for any reason than just coincidence.

I think what im rambling about though is football to me isn't just about the match and being successful, it's a social occasion. So championship or league one, none of that changes.

Quite right Sith, whatever league the Rams are in we'll follow through thick and thin. Whether it be Sam Longson (or whoever before him), Morris or Clowes, Owners/Chairman come and go. Whether it's Harry Storer, BC, or Eustace, Managers (or whatever pseudonym they go under now) come and go.

Whether it's at the BBG or PP the fans will still be there, we are the one constant and as you so elequently put it that will not change! Through good and bad (more bad than good these days) we persevere hoping that wins become a regular thing, the goals for tally looks healthy and the next Hector, Roy Mac, Stimac and even a Charlie George are strutting their stuff once again on our hallowed turf.

Dreams yes, but that's what keeps us going.

COYR, we will stay with you.
