I don't think we're going to win any prizes for ours. Millwall - og off defenders knee Portsmouth - Burrell misses a header, keeper rooted to his line, Chair pokes in from 2 yards. Saito has a clear run, caught by 2 defenders, shot gets deflected by both and bounces over keeper. Chair virtually falls over the cross, lifting over keeper. Blackburn - Burrell roasts defenders, cuts back for Smyth to pass in from 7/8 yards. Dunne header that 4 people went for. Cardiff - goalmouth scramble followed by Burrell toe poke. Breakaway where Burrell left defenders trailing. Decent finish 1 on 1. WBA - keeper saves and it bounces off Mepham's face for another OG
Smyth's is the best. Not saying much.

Not a great collection but I'd put Burrell's against Cardiff's over Smyth's for me. Lovely interception by Ronnie, lovely pass, lovely run and good finish.

For me it's Mepham's instinctive header. Very difficult to adjust and direct that in after the save from Burrell. Brave as well. Pleased for the lad as he's a lifelong R's supporter.
I think we have scored some cracking team goals this season, Portsmouth and Cardiff.
For me scoring team goals shows you've got patterns of play, movement and pace, the sort of thing that indicates a team heading in the right direction.

I remember having a conversation with an analytics type when I was getting all excited about Mick Beale's QPR being top of the league and he was adamant it wouldn't last because we were winning tight games with mostly fantastical goals - Willock and Chair scored from outside the box against Boro, Watford, Millwall.

There was another season where Dickie was blasting in a few early season. It was never going to last.

Agree with the analytic type and in the end those wonder strikes from Willock and Chair just masked the underlying problems with the team.
Annoying as drawing with Bolton, Charlton and WBA may have been, and even the lose to Boro, we are still creating good chances which indicates a well coached team that knows what it is doing.
It's just nice to watch QPR carving open the opposition even if it doesn't always result in a goal.

Sadly he was right. It made for a really exciting watch to have two skilful players, bang in form, who were scoring a lot of spectacular goals - a bit of a throwback. Now the analytics guys teach to either win a set piece or pass the ball into the net. There was a season or two when we had half a dozen goals that would have been high quality goals of the season but ultimately where did it get us?
i’m more concerned the last few games that we have really not created that many chances, albeit two of those games against good sides and two of the games away.

I remember one home game and every Rangers fan pleading for Dickie to shoot from 25 yards and he scored but it was what we all expected to happen then.

Could not agree more
That 3rd goal v Pompey was a superb team goal and was the best of the season so far for me

Those who said we were in a false position and could still struggle were mental weren’t they?
(TBF I did say in January that even I thought we were safe - hexed it!!!)
Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

Think we have our answer now!
I'm not convinced Smyth ever hit one so cleanly before. Or will do in the future. Left foot, last minute, hard to beat.
