He's got loads of experience but a lot of ego too.
I can understand why he might not have been the best candidate. |

Very sad, but what an inventive musician. I think I remember (memory not what it used to be!) seeing him at the Lyceum probably in the 80s - an evening of endless melodies woven together in a continuous stream. If anyone can confirm that would be great.
Good to see some jazz fans among the Rs faithful. At one of my earliest games, probably the famous 75-76 season, there was a guy standing on the loft terrace holding a Coltrane album - a sure sign that we attracted 'cool' supporters! |

Agree we should consider this.
Love Loftus Road but my knees don't. Transport links would be a big plus. |

On the West London pod they talked about needing to rest Kone and maybe just give him 60 minutes. I thought that sounded very sensible, but he really took his chances in those last few minutes. Very glad he stayed on - he deserved those goals for his effort as much as anything.
But like most I'd still make Smyth MotM. |

Yes!
When we downsized and had to sadly 'let go' a lot of books I definitely kept this. A magnificent achievement. |

Blackburn were better than I'd expected. They were well organised when defending getting in crucial blocks, won a lot of 50:50 balls and attacked with precision when we let them. Not sure about a new manager bounce but I guess they were glad to be rid of Ismael, who would have made sure they were fit and ran hard.
In the first half we created pressure in their defence, but only the one beautifully taken goal by Saito. After they scored the third early in the second half we lost the plot. The passing was woeful, clumsy first touches, poor decision making (especially Smyth) and we were slow to the loose balls.
The subs were as good as Stephan could manage but the effect was to disrupt us even more.
Bennie was poor. I don't want to be hard on a young lad, but in the several opportunities he's had he hasn't shown why the coaches have so much faith in him.
Cook and Dunne seemed at fault for all 3 goals, so with Cook subbed off and Edwards moved into the middle this maybe one of the last times we see Steve.Cook start for us. He's been a great servant. For the first 2 goals there was no protection in front of the back 4. Not sure if Hayden went missing, but with Madsen playing further forward (as we would want) the defence was exposed.
Any bright spots? Not really, but maybe JCS on the bench is promising, but seven of 100% fit will he get in the team? And possibly the worst blow of all is if Madsen is out for any length of time.
The rest of the season may be grimmer than we hoped. |

When Burrell is fit there's a challenge for Stephan. Koni looked better because he played as a 9. With Burrell in the team he plays deeper and I'm still impressed with him but we probably don't get the best out of him.
Not sure how Kone, Vale, Chair and Burrell fit together? But there'll probably be another injury before Chair and Burrell are fit.
But hey, great to dream about those options. |

Sick as a parrot! Rangers didn't deserve to lose, but they did let Wrexham back into the game in the 2nd half after a dominant first 45 when we should have scored more.
Before Mbengue's red Smyth had been in danger of getting a 2nd yellow - maybe why Stephan took him off, but Stephan could have made some subs earlier as we'd clearly lost control of MF.
We did so well to get back to 2-1 with a beautiful goal from a corner that caught Wrexham sleeping. And then Mbengue tried to kill Thomason (I think) and the red seemed inevitable. What shouldn't have been inevitable was we seemed to panic, lose shape and Wrexham were fired up and possibly lucky with 2 late strikes. |

The drug trade bringing coke from South America is a brutal, vicious, cruel business. Having a few lines for fun puts money in the pocket of very nasty people and means more people down the chain are cruelly exploited.
Moral lecture finished. |

Agree with every word.
Fitness is clearly a thing for this squad and it's interesting Nourry is so defensive about it. I wonder if the pre-season training plans were set up before Stephan started and certainly before he'd settled in and had much influence. So might next season see a fitter team or is the theory we shouldn't overload pre-season correct? I don't know enough about this stuff but it does seem something isn't right. |
