Yes, I've noticed that too. With the added insinuation that the people criticising his sacking are only doing so because he was passing them information.
I keep making the comparison with the Paladini regime, but the parallels are stark. I've had more than enough of it. |

Clubs like QPR need people like Furlong - they know the place inside out, they are respected by fans and players, they carry with them the history of the club and of previous teams. All of that is important, otherwise you're just another blank slate, another 'project' in an industry full of them.
We've seen this before, of course, when a previous regime got rid of everyone with a strong connection to the club. Some of us remember how that turned out too. |

Saw him at the Clapham Grand a few years ago. Despite his age he did a cracking 2 hour set. Loved every minute of it.
What a career! RIP |

An entertaining albeit low quality game of football. Terrible first goal to give away, with mistakes from Kone, Varane, JCS and Hamer, and I wasn't too pleased with their second either for that matter. But we showed a fair bit of character today to come back twice and then again to hold out at the end. That's very welcome because it's not something we see from them that often, I think a lot of us consider the team to be a bit 'fair weather'.
I still don't think the midfield is set up very well, it doesn't protect the back four enough and often leaves the defenders exposed, whilst at the same time not advancing the ball particularly well. Needs some work.
But you can't really argue with 5 goals and 3 points. That's a good day out. Roll on Blackburn. |

Cant afford to miss an opportunity to promote the brand. The ability to spot a camera lens goes hand in hand with this of course. |

Bloody Lee Dixon couldn't stop talking about Phil Foden's amazing pass - all five yards of it - yet barely a mention of the beautiful finish from Eze. |

Southampton allowed us to have lots of space in the middle third (probably explains why they were 4th bottom before kick off), which in turn allowed us to pass the ball a little in that part of the field. That meant we looked a little bit better than we did against Ipswich, but we didn't actually do anything with the ball. It was completely ineffective. Same could be said of them to be fair.
I thought it was a really poor standard game. |

It's the most basic level of professionalism: take the player out nice and early, when it's only a yellow and not a potential red, stop the break away and a potential goal. I hate that we are so ridiculously naïve, right the way through the whole team, and have been for years. It's pathetic. |

No-one played well today, no-one. We made an ordinary Ipswich look good, and some of the goals were terrible to concede.
Funny that no-one has mentioned Madsen yet. He didn't once get close to their 32, Nunez, who kept dropping off his shoulder and found acres of space. On a few occasions we had the ludicrous situation where Cook moved forward to mark him and ended up playing 10 yards in front of Morrison - which is appalling positioning for your CBs to end up in.
Anyway, everyone involved today, from players to coaches, has some thinking to do before the next game. |

There's a bit of an attempt to re-write history here. Madsen's performances for a large part of last season were so bad that he was getting 1 and 2 on the ratings. That's not being harsh, or people being too quick to judge, it was there in front of your face. He was, in some games, appallingly bad. Just lacking even the most basic elements of being a professional footballer. No-one was digging him out or attacking him or anything like, he was just flat out appalling.
That's what makes the turn around so remarkable. |

Well, for a start, we simply don't know if we'll continue playing with 2 in the centre of the park. Its worked in some games but not others. And then, if we do continue like that, we don't know if the current 2 will continue together - again, they've been good in some games and not in others (individually and collectively). As for Field himself, every manager we've had in his time here has come to rely on him and he's consistently been in our top 3 performers every year. I wouldn't write him off if I were you. |

Neither of those players are surplus. Field will play a significant role this year, as he always does, and we need Frey because it only takes an injury to Kone and we're stuck with a lightweight forward line again. Mbengue can't play every game because he's guaranteed to be suspended for large parts of the season.
Also, it's far too early to say if we have a shot at the playoffs. We, like much of the league, are wildly inconsistent from one week to the next. Even from one half to another. In amongst a couple of impressive victories there have been some very poor performances and disappointing results. |

Agree 100%
We've won a couple of games - after a real shellacking against Coventry and intermingled with a couple of missed opportunities - with the Varane/Madsen midfield but it's far too early to know if that's a winning combination. Especially across a notoriously taxing Championship season. We also seem to have a head coach who's prepared to change things on a regular basis.
Guaranteed that Field will play a significant number of games over the course of the season and be seen (once again) as one of our most important players by May. |

All of you are saying 'left wing' when what you mean is 'liberal or progressive'. There are no left wing football clubs in this country. |

Millwall look perfectly constructed for the Championship; big, strong, quick and very well schooled. They'll be in the top 6 at the end of the year.
As for us, I thought we played pretty well for half an hour, without really sticking it to them. Got into some good positions but then put in a slow, lofted cross easily won by their giant CBs or a slightly overhit pass that meant the recipient had to readjust. We needed to move the ball quicker, especially in the final third. Vale looked off the pace, not sure he fancied the physical side of it, and our centre midfield pairing were no match for theirs. Smyth our best player by some margin, but solid enough performances from most of the others. But we never gave up and are still a work in progress, so I'd say I'm disappointed but not disheartened by the result. |

Yes. He has a very long list of terrible behaviour, some of it oafish some of it downright nasty. He's also currently leading the coup within the sport to give himself and a couple of like-minded individuals almost complete control. |
