Unnecessary and unhelpful. No mentioned Kolli and no need for you to. Lloyd is loveable, like a Labrador. God loves a trier, but that header was an appalling miss. It looks even worse on reply as he doesn’t even need to jump much at all. For his own sake, I really hope he scores soon to get the monkey off his back. He must be feeling it. |  | |  |
| Whats it all about Alfie? on 19:52 - Sep 19 with 3986 views | rottcodd | Thought he looked more dangerous than Burrell had all game. Shame he missed that one and the keeper somehow kept out his other chance. Let's keep the faith. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads
| Whats it all about Alfie? on 19:53 - Sep 19 with 3978 views | Watford_Ranger | It was as bad as they come but older and better players than him have wilted in the circumstances. Got straight up and had another go which forced a very good save. He’s not perfect but he’s cheap, he’s ours, he clearly sets the right example to other young players coming through on the effort required to make the most of what you have. Maybe it’ll never happen for him at this level but he’s giving it as good a go as anyone can. |  | |  |

I think that's all very fair. I'll have to see the replay of the header - looked unlucky from where I was but fair enough. But as said, very good point-blank save very soon after, and from what looked like a good turn. Not unusual for players even at the highest level to miss any easy one and score a more difficult one. I just don't see him as the weak link this afternoon on the strength of that appearance. |  | |  |

I thought the defender just did enough to get in his way with the header and make it a little more difficult (albeit that it was still a very good chance, but not a horror miss). Excellent save for the other chance. Hopefully he gets a break soon, gets the monkey off his back, then let's see how he goes. In any event, he tries his heart out and causes problems for the oppo, and that's good enough for me for the time being whilst we see how he develops. |  | |  |

My feeling is he is turning up in the positions to score more frequently and the goals will come. |  |

Blimey. I may disagree with your views on a few things but you are always reasonable. But this is unbelievably harsh. And to even pretend that given everything that’s been said, that the original post had nothing to do with Kolli, is frankly ridiculous. |  | |  |
| Whats it all about Alfie? on 20:08 - Sep 19 with 3815 views | SteveB | Some players have to work hard for it, Charlie Austin, Harry Kane for example, but they learn, others have a natural gift for it, Clive Allen, Haaland, Gary Lineker. It's an instinct, strikers knowing where to be, reading what may happen. Alfie is certainly no Clive, but may develop, like Harry. No need for a pile-on just yet.. Just my tuppence, for what its worth. [Post edited 19 Sep 20:09]

| Whats it all about Alfie? on 20:21 - Sep 19 with 3736 views | TonyHoops | The defender did well to get in front of him and make the header harder than it looked. Alfie is not the finished article, but his commitment and effort makes a difference against tiring defenders. He may not be as dangerous in front of goal as others are, but he is willing to put the work in to improve. |  | |  |
| Whats it all about Alfie? on 20:46 - Sep 19 with 3622 views | OxfordHoops | Thought he did okay when he came on today, got in some good positions and certainly gave them something to think about! He’s still young and learning, let’s give him a little time before we write him off? He’s certainly not lacking in desire and work rate! It’s |  | |  |
| Whats it all about Alfie? on 20:55 - Sep 19 with 3563 views | BlackCrowe | Alfie adds to the amazing team spirit that we finally have after many years and is a big factor in our league position. Kolli according to reports i've heard doesn't. |  |

I’m genuinely confused. I like Lloyd. I genuinely do. He has boundless enthusiasm (hence the Labrador simile). I like that about him. I think my post has been misunderstood. I think he’s genuinely useful off the bench. But it’s a shocking miss. It was harder to miss than score. As I said, I really hope he scores soon to get that monkey off his back. I think he’s feeling the missed chances, as you’d expect. The OP didn’t mention Kolli. Whatever people’s views, Connell didn’t make any comparison. Ned’s made an unnecessary comment to bring it up and create division. There was no need. What is particularly harsh?! The miss is up there like Dykes’ from a few years back, maybe worse, imo. |  | |  |

He should have scored the header, we’d say that about any of our players. The second chance was a quite outstanding save by their keeper. |  |

| Whats it all about Alfie? on 21:28 - Sep 19 with 3360 views | rbee | It looked an impressive miss from a yard out but the defender was right on top of him. Putting a positive spin on it at least Alfie was exactly where he was supposed to be. |  | |  |

He was on for hardly any time and almost scored two. First one is abadmiss, but not in the same league asthat Dykes one. Second one, not much more he could've done, just a great save. He already looks better than pre loan Alfie Lloyd. Give him more of a run in the team and then see... |  | |  |

I think for a player who has 1) given nothing but 100% for qpr, and 2) one who Dunne has spoken very highly of, the comments from a few are very harsh. He missed a chance. We’re less than 10 games into the season and I think he’s improved significantly. I think he gets far more abuse than is necessary. |  | |  |
