Clive, excellent report as always.
My issue with the first half (apart from the bleedin' obvious) was the obsession of piss balling at the back to give their defence time to set. Awful to watch and quite pointless.
For me, the improvement in the second half was the way they were playing in their final third, especially the work within the penalty area. Great close control, with defenders frightened of committing in case of a foul. Really disciplined, very effective and good to watch. Unlucky not to snatch a win.
Lets face it, all we want is players doing their best and we got that in spades!
I feel that Adamson is going to have a great season. And hopefully this game will put an end to any pathetic criticisms on Smyth, who is a true team player.
PS love the story regarding Keadby! |

The second half comeback was up there with some of the best we’ve ever seen at Loftus Road. The atmosphere created was just incredible. This will be long remembered, as with 2 goals down and only 10 men on the pitch, what were the odds of still getting something from the game. It definitely felt like a win when the final whistle went. The red card has divided everyone’s opinion, but my instinctive reaction to seeing it live was that it was not worthy of a sending off, and having now seen it back several times I still think the same. It wasn’t the only mistake the inexperienced ref made as Clive’s report alludes to. Particular shout outs to Poku, Smyth, Scarlett and Adamson. Jimmy Dunne - I forgive you. |

Anyone notice the Qpr fan in the crowd after the opening goal? He was staring open mouthed in disbelief probably at the error from Dunne.
I wonder what his reaction was after the equaliser, if he was still there. |

Especially impressed by Kamara’s passes to Saito in space inside their box; just worked out it was 42 years’ tomorrow when we came back from 4-0 at half-time against Newcastle with Waddle and Beardsley to equalize for 5-5 with 2 goals in the last 5 minutes. Even writing it now it feels implausible like I’m making it up..? Except this is QPR!? |

You do our players justice with this great report Clive, but I'd still argue not enough.
Saw you say this on the forum, but I disagree. The fans did not drag the team back: for once, the team dragged the fans. I didn't think there was much noise at all start of the second half: most people, if they were sane, knew the game had gone. But they came out, had two quick shots, and people thought 'well, maybe...' and THEN the noise built. I give the players all the credit in the world for that (and I'm not dissing on the fans here, who were excellent). |

The handball was in front of us and never will u see a more blatant handball in your life. it fitted all the creiteria , arm in unnatural postion it was that blatant and obvious. hopelly alife will get a scuffer soon as he deserves it for his graft since coming back into the side i think hes had three good shots saved which should on most days have gone in , his time will come |

Thanks very much for this celebration, Clive. In 60 years ( can’t be that long?), I can’t remember a more enjoyable half… including that afternoon at Wembley with Rod-née! Desperate not to miss a minute of this with this Coach and group of players,,. |

Comment | Kolli, Kone and about that injury list – Fans Forum
by ViewFrom165 at 23:55:37
Thanks for the time and effort writing this up Clive, CN's answers definitely read better than listening to him deliver them, but maybe that's a me problem.
I did want to highlight that Jimmy Dunne was asked a different question about the culture of the club now compared to when he joined, after Stephan finished answering the Kolli question. Seen a lot of people use his words to support their own agendas against Kolli, and compare him to Lloyd which as you said is not helpful to either of them.
Also intrigued to know what Stephan said in French just before the feed cut out after the first half, do you do translations on the Patreon? |

Thanks for your preview.
That Lucas Anderson goal against Preston last season was something special.
I have got so used to the mismatch between what the owners say and what they've been able to accomplish, that I tend to take whatever they say with a pinch of salt. Having said that, it's good to have people like Dunne around who have been with us through thick and thin.
Will we ever get over the curse of possession? Given Preston's terrible start to the season now would seem to be a good time to play them, even with Heckingbottom gone. However, all we can say for certain is that nothing is ever certain with QPR. |
