Watford Reflection
at 12:37 2 Jan 2025

Enjoyed the performance very much.

Watford came to bully us and we stood up strong and ended up bullying them.

It was Ashby's best game for us especially second half in his natural position.

Fox played well too and shown once fully fit he can be a decent squad player.

Morgan could turn out to be masterstroke from the recruitment team.

MOTM for us was between Dunne and Smyth and we went for Dunne in the car on the way home.

Still can't believe we were bottom and looking certs for relegation only a few weeks ago.

Happy New Year My R's - Preview
at 17:24 1 Jan 2025

It’s strange as I am reading today’s preview after our fantastic 3 v 1 win today against Watford.

A very emotional read Clive and one that brought a lump to my throat.

You captured the trials and tribulations perfect.

Nice nod to the dads and daughters too. We were there today with our sixteen year old daughters (son in bed with a hangover) and it was magical absolutely magical. Making memories that will last a lifetime.

Thanks again Clive - Your articles are a big part of supporting this wonderful football club.

Late heartbreak for improved QPR at Carrow Road - Report
at 12:10 31 Dec 2024

Brilliant report Clive - So good I had to read it twice.

Me and the kids watched nervously on TV - The wife kept coming into the front room to ask us to stop swearing or the neighbours would be complaining (again).

"FFS go long this time stop commiting suicide in our own penalty area" We shouted.

To be fair when we eventually went long it still kept coming back due to Frey's stiffness and lack of bodies around him.

My son now has a hole in his bedroom door following the Norwich equaliser.

Ah the joys of following our beloved Rangers......

QPR's unbeaten run crushed in Swansea Christmas horror - Report

Thanks Jamie - Feel for you and the other 600 hardy souls who were served up that slop.

Let's hope the Nourry Christmas communication doesn't set off another chain reaction as per the fans forum. We need to get 4 points from the Watford / Luton home games. Norwich will murder us on Sunday.

I know money is tight but the January window is huge and we will need to move a few out to bring in the necessary personnel to keep our heads above water.

Losing Cook and Morrison is a real body blow.

Sorry Paal

Big weak link in the team - has one okay game in ten. The other nine he is atrocious and costs us many goals.

Always targeted by the opposition to good effect - The sooner we are shot of him the better.

Oh god the last time we heard from Nourry was at the fans forum and look what happened after that.

Seriously though I am happy with this statement. Communication with us peasants is really important.

Dunne delivers QPR's perfect present - Report
at 18:37 23 Dec 2024

Top Drawer that Saffa - A report the "maestro" would be proud of.

Brilliant game with the Loftus Road crowd in full voice capped by a brilliant Jimmy Dunne diving header at the far post in the 89th Minute under the lights in front of a packed Loft - We don't get many....but bloody hell days like that are to be cherished.

Incredible to see us now up to 14th in the league table.

A Varane, Field, Morgan midfield playing like that will give most teams a big test in the Championship.

Big shout out to our Paul Smyth too - He was a menace to PNE all afternoon.

Christmas Games a great test

I'd be delighted with 3 points from those three games anything else will be a bonus anything less and we will be back to looking over our shoulder.

Smyth’s smash and grab stuns City – Report
at 08:04 17 Dec 2024

Thanks Clive - Great summary especially for those of us not there but watching on TV.

One thing that stood out was Anderson can now only be used as a second half sub. It really looks like his legs won't allow him to start matches at this level. I saw it close up and live at Leeds and it looked just as bad on TV in this match.

Special shout out to the fans who travelled in great numbers at this time of year with the early kick off.

Old foes, familiar faces and new trends collide at Ashton Gate - Preview
at 07:35 14 Dec 2024

Thanks Clive - Great preview.

My only visit to Ashton Gate was a couple of years ago for Barbet's last minute winner. It was a wonderful moment shared with my 14 year old Daughter who ended up three rows forward after the crazy celebrations.

Moments in life and one that will stay with us both forever.

Safe travels to everyone (decent numbers again) heading West - I hope you get to share a similar experience today.

You R'rrs

Poetry Clive - Pure Poetry.

Due to work commitments I was unable to be in W12 so watched on the TV.

Wow that first half was something special.

Boys did well to come up second half and grind out the result which takes a little pressure off Saturday's tough away game in Bristol.

Varane caught my eye again - I think this boy is going to turn into a very good player indeed.

Me too - I was convinced this was our season to go down.

However we now have hope and have shown we can also dig results out when needed.

I predicted 14th at the start of the season and we might just have enough in the tank with a good January transfer market to get there.

Thanks Clive nailed it again with some great one liners in there. I enjoyed the 93rd to 96th minute as even I thought we can’t mess this up now.

Great to us playing with desire, tempo and energy and we need that same intensity now Wednesday night as if we drop it even by 5% we will come unstuck

Kicking towards the Loft first half.
at 17:38 8 Dec 2024

I think we won the toss and chose to kick towards the Loft first half.

Maybe with our poor home form and the first goal being so important in The Championship it was a shrewd tactical move.

It certainly worked and I quite enjoyed every tackle and header being cheered second half too.

Actually made a nice change and I wonder if it’s a tactic we will continue.

Everything but the goal - Report

Brilliant report as always Clive.

Like you I never saw this performance coming even after Wednesday night.

A week ago I was convinced this was our season to be relegated now I have that horrible "Hope" feeling again.

The best bit about Saturday was it was the first time my sixteen year old Daughter went to an away game on her own without me. She got the tube with a couple of her friends and I picked her up at the tube station afterwards. She was buzzing when she got back in the car. It was a real adventure for them on their own

I don't know why but it was a very proud moment for Dad. Took me back to my first away day on my own in the early eighties.

Such a shame he got injured same time as JCS. I’m sure we would of had more points had that not been the case.
