Great recovery though!

Don't think he has to get past Richards. Not that I don't think he's a good player, just that Roy and the present England management don't seem to fancy him for some reason.

Think I'd probably change the keeper but otherwise I agree.

Adkins gets a bonus in the fact that he finally got rid of Four Past and Pullis the other one!

Of the players still here, I think both Butterfield and Richardson were signed by Pardew just before he was sacked in the 2010 transfer window.

Graeme Murty and I think Jack Saville?

A good reception before kick off then the usual stick bestowed to any other opposition manager IMO.

Think that's more to do with the media not having the slightest interest in us over the last 7 years and him for probably 5 of them TBH.

Blimey, You really need to watch the extended highlights on Skygo! If he was off the pace yesterday, can't wait for him to get on it.

By his own admission it has taken him a while to adjust to the extra class of the PL but he is looking more and more comfortable with every game (He's not alone in that).

Always!

Just goes to show what a joke the original selection was. No second (specialist) spinner and Prior at No 7 because they don't have confidence in him at 6. Patel is not good enough to play 6 either and not good enough as second spinner.

This.

I'd have yesterday's starting XI ahead of those. By the time they had picked up their hobnailed boots Punch, Lallana and Gaston would be gone!!

Gazza was clearly at fault for the goal but once again the defence and midfield were caught napping at the throw-in.

I think the perception of people looking from outside the Prem is that players have more time on the ball, this of course is rubbish and comes from players with better touch/control, skill, speed of foot and speed of mind. Bring the ball down within a yard of your standing foot and you'll probably get away with it in the Championship, whereas more than 10 or so inches in the Prem and the ball's whipped away from you and the other team are counter attacking.

My thoughts exactly!!

Night watchmen are my pet hate in cricket. Batsman are paid to bat, so f'ing get out there and grow some balls!!

I doubt any English team would pay £20m for him. Maybe PSG with Drogba having a whisper in their ears to get him to play for Cote D'Ivoire.

From the highlights shown on Eurosport today, looks like he played well and got a vital 45 minutes game time in. No idea if they cut out the bit where he did his ligaments though!

Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach Told Nigel Adkins some had dubbed #QPR v #SaintsFC as El Sackico. He absolutely loved it & couldn't stop laughing. Top bloke.

Others on twitter saying that it is just that and he IS NOT injured, some been watching Uruguay game on stream

Think we might get 7 at a push but need 10 to put us back in the race.

David Speedie? No, thought not! Really rated Stuart Ripley when he signed for us. Never really happened though!

Two should have been penalties IMO and to say you can't blame a ref is rubbish. A foul's a foul and if its's the penalty area it's a penalty. Each decision should be taken on it's own merit and if he thought he'd dived three times after being booked for the second than he should have sent AL off. The spineless git copped out of both decisions.
