Well fresh from the numerous cardiac arrests from last night, we enter into the 2nd instalment of the "Tortuous Trilogy" against Quarter Pound of Rubbish this Friday, another welcome opportunity for our away supporters to sing the praises of Sky Sports!.🤣
It's been a while since I visited Loftus Road (back in the 70's to be exact) but still have painful memories of several defeats, not helped by a moron with a big drum in the home supporters stand constantly banging it (the drum that is!!).
Formed in 1886, it took them until 1982 to reach the 1st Division with moderate success, however in the 70'/80's they did have some star quality players in the team, few were:
Phil Parkes
Stan Bowles
Rodney Marsh
Don Givens
Terry Venables
Gerry Francis
On the managerial front, well they went from the sublime to the ridiculous:
Terry Venables ( Excellent)
Ian Holloway ( Completely off his head!!)
Unfortunately for us, QPR are still in a relegation tussle which based upon our past performances against these types of teams, generally spells a difficult game. That being said, the victory against Boro should instil some much needed confidence in the players.
Without wishing to sound like a broken record, we cannot afford to have someone wearing the shirt and only effective for 10% of the game, DF needs to have strong words with Rutter and get his a*se in gear.
Assuming Rutter gets going, cannot see a change to the side that played last night, which should be enough to see us through.
Defibs are on special at the moment!!!
MOT
Start and end of the season killed us.... we drew 2 and lost 1 of our first 3 games.
What is it with leaving signing players til right up to the opening day of the season and getting them right up to the last half hour of the transfer window deadline!?
They have no chance to integrate into the team!
Drawing with Rovram and only winning one of our last 5 games didn't help!
