Well fresh from the numerous cardiac arrests from last night, we enter into the 2nd instalment of the "Tortuous Trilogy" against Quarter Pound of Rubbish this Friday, another welcome opportunity for our away supporters to sing the praises of Sky Sports!.🤣
It's been a while since I visited Loftus Road (back in the 70's to be exact) but still have painful memories of several defeats, not helped by a moron with a big drum in the home supporters stand constantly banging it (the drum that is!!).
Formed in 1886, it took them until 1982 to reach the 1st Division with moderate success, however in the 70'/80's they did have some star quality players in the team, few were:
Phil Parkes
Stan Bowles
Rodney Marsh
Don Givens
Terry Venables
Gerry Francis
On the managerial front, well they went from the sublime to the ridiculous:
Terry Venables ( Excellent)
Ian Holloway ( Completely off his head!!)
Unfortunately for us, QPR are still in a relegation tussle which based upon our past performances against these types of teams, generally spells a difficult game. That being said, the victory against Boro should instil some much needed confidence in the players.
Without wishing to sound like a broken record, we cannot afford to have someone wearing the shirt and only effective for 10% of the game, DF needs to have strong words with Rutter and get his a*se in gear.
Assuming Rutter gets going, cannot see a change to the side that played last night, which should be enough to see us through.
Defibs are on special at the moment!!!
MOT
Oh and their keeper Begervic demonstrated today what a professional goalkeepers perfect positioning is. His save with his body to save the nice little touch shot from Joseph was class.
On our goalkeeper Meslier.
Do others think that because Meslier is deemed un-droppable (Darlow & Klaesson have stated this in interviews) that he, Meslier has become mentally complacent which has led to his decline (or lack of any improvement)?
