"Back in the 90's when the people at the company I worked for liked to partake in the stuff, it mostly turned them into the worlds worst game show host."
Yeah I listened to the same commentory. Was very good from both commentators. Very fair and balanced. And yes, just as knowledgable about QPR as they were West Ham.
Also don't forget that we were missing JCS, Varane, Chair, Burrell, Poku, Morrison and Vale. (would love to have seen Chair and Burrell out there yesterday!) A lot of those players would be starters, and we didn't even have them available on the bench to bring on!!
Didn't they bring on a new signing worth about £30m or something?!
Can't fault the effort of those that played yesterday. In another season we'd have got a replay or gone straight to pens. To have extra time in the very first game gives a massive advantage to the home team (or a team with strength in depth) to win. We were up against it on several fronts yesterday, and the lads gave it everything.
"….. if the first half of the season’s games are for the team to gel with new coach, new tactics, new way of playing, then it is reasonable to expect the team to do better in the next 23 games"
Isn't that the same for most other teams though?
"So 70 or more points is a logical target
60-70 points - the team is settled and consistent*
50-60 is underwhelming borders on worrying"
What if we get 60pts?
All those saying about injuries seem to forget that it's that same for all teams so it evens itself it. Also, our inury record this year so far does appear to be better this season than last (the return of Ben WIlliams? Coincidence?).
Lastly, those worrying about injuries/suspensions etc... we've got the best squad depth for years! We'llcope. Glass half full chaps!
Didn't Sints go in late on Parker when Man U played at ours shortly after he moved? Or is my memory playing tricks on me? Hope I'm wrong, but I know Sints didn't shirk any tackles back in the day.
Not seen anyone post this one up yet (surprised), but it's a longer Comms Cam than usual this time, taking in the majority of the duration on injury time, plus Sints closing comments.
