I don’t think there has been any expectation on them for a while. They put their all into winning the Steel derby, but fell short, as this would have been very small consolation for what has been a horror of a season. They have slightly settled down and improved over the last few weeks, and by this I mean they have scored. If we do not win this it will be criminal. But nothing surprised me when I go to football. I have managed to see Cambridge lose their only game in 20 against few weeks ago away at Harrogate who were bottom and not won in 10 games at home… yep Harrogate won!
-
The end of the poor Christmas period form and the start of the current run of great form maps pretty much directly onto two events: - The end of Armstrong / Archer starting at centre forward, and Stewart / Larin starting instead - Bazunu being replaced by Peretz So it turns out that in the Championship you need a keeper who can make saves and a target man with a physical presence up top. I for one am stunned.
-
The championship is a little nuts, I think everyone but Sheffield Wednesdays and Oxford have had a good run, or a bad run followed by the opposite and then repeat. Some in the top 3 for a little more, but no one is setting the league on fire. My fear is that we are still 4 off the top 6 and we are due another dip. But so are Wrexham! 🤷🏽 Take nothing away… great win tonight, but after Saturday I feel it will get a little tougher for a few weeks.

I’m pretty sure he was a name linked with us several times in SRs time here

Great win well deserved. Thought Northam good tonight but hate the song- You are only a c@@t with a whistle- really!!!! and why mention Keir Starmer since when have politics and footie mixed except when Sunsk made his once in a lifetime visit to us a couple of seasons back!

Bill Gates? He could live on the Island -

Great result, sadly couldn’t watch it but had LiveScore on for the goal updates. Every time the phone buzzed I thought QPR had pulled a goal back but it was us every time 😃. Onwards and upwards COYRs
-
Good result, we did to QPR what I was hoping we'd do to Charlton. With such a tight table GD may become very important come the home stretch so +5 is very welcome. Let's hope we add to that on Saturday.

Shepherds Bush?
-
Imagine if he'd also switched to a back 4 a bit quicker... The most promising thing for me is that a number of players actually seem to have improved. When was the last time we had a manager who made players better?
-
No 'time bound' for VAR checks though?
-
Absolutely brilliant stuff. I’d love to know how many key contributions Azaz makes per game as even if he has a ‘stinker’, he alway produces 1-2 good chances for the team. Loving Matsuki’s development also. For all his faults, Tonda is now running at about 1.8/1.9 points per game, which would have given us 60-64 points if he’d started the season. Take out Bazunu being retarded, and we’d have been right up if there. All if’s, buts and maybes though. Anyone missing Bazunu’s sublime build up play from the back?
-
I do like a keeper that is mad as a box of frogs! Heading the ball out of play virtually off of the attackers boot takes some doing!
-
Have been pleasantly surprised! When news came through of his signing I wasn’t overly impressed but hey looks like I was wrong and those that know about these things were right. He could have had 2 last night if the ball had been played to him.
-
Didnt watch it so goal fest was guranteed, your welcome.

I don't see anything wrong with that. If QPR had scored the third goal to make it 2-1 then it could have been an entirely different story, but going 3-0 down so early in the second half obviously killed their entire plan and after that it was one way traffic.
-
You know full well that a conviction comes from a criminal court, and that adverse findings in a civil court are not convictions. You trying to argue that an apple is a pear because you want them to be the same, doesn't make them the same.
-
Hideous. Far worse than that horrific pink third kit we had last season.
-
One of the closest games for me. Going with the father in law who is a Wednesday fan so should be fun!
-
Really happy with that. It was a bit worrying when we sat back, slowed down (so frustrating as it appears self-inflicted for the most part) and they came into it. The goals came at exactly the right times to give us the confidence that we were indeed much better than them. When we speed up the build up just a bit and take a risk or two we're so much better. Due to the scoreline I even didn't become too stressed by Manning's walkabouts to areas of the pitch he seems to fancy spending time in nowhere near LB. Very odd!
-
I thought he was good and I wanted him to have the whole of the game to build up fitness, find a goal his performance deserved, and not risk Stewart.

Quoted as insurance 😉 -
Yes, it seems there is less confusion with a back 4 and we have decent experience with Bree and Stephens at this level. Helps that we have a vocal keeper too now.
-
Agreed, but 45 minutes per half is too long. Have the clock set a bit shorter, since actual ball in play is shorter than that (ignoring unnecessary stoppages).
