Alfie Lloyd interview is brilliant. He sounds like any of us would be after scoring that goal for qpr.

What a lovely lad seems to be buzzing Literally came on here to post exactly that. So refreshing to hear a young footballer speak from the heart rather than trotting out the usual cliches. |

We are not playing great by any means of the imagination Yes we have 12th place but we need to step up Big time our midfield is a fucking shambles atm Varian and Madison look completly out of touch Midfield needs sorting very quickly But good point However not good enough someone will batter us very soon Unless he sorts out the mid field Like Bambi on ice Need to have patience mate. Varane and Madson have never played in england before. Nor have Saito, Santos, Celar. We have to give them time. Do we trust Marti? Do we like the type of signings? |

But think it does highlight an issue that i’ve been banging on about - in the Championship you need some tough fuckers who play ugly as well as your Dembeles and Chairs. Am concerned we have gone from one extreme to the other - agricultural shit under Gareth to players who don’t want to put their foot in. Ain’t going to work in the Championship |

Ain’t going to work in the Championship I don’t believe the new players don’t want to put their foot in. It just takes time to adapt to new league and new country. We have some though fuckers in Cook, Dunne, Colback. If we’re going to get better, going to survive, we needed to do things differently by signing younger players we could afford and then sell some of them on for profit rather than sell all for a loss |

Just back and have to say I forgot about how bad the game was due to the last few minutes of play. Good point on the road considering how poor we were. Still unbeaten away from home in the league. More to come from this team once we get the balance right. Not sure Andersen and Madsen can play in the same team.

Have seen that eight times from different angle but still don't know how we scored. Same here. Basically a rugby scrum and impossible to even see where the ball was! With about three players laid flat on their arses, credit to the ref as he could easily have blown up |

Not sure Andersen and Madsen can play in the same team. It looked like a 3-5-2 in 2nd half with Paal in midfield. He also put Andersen left, Madsen right and Dembele central. That's one way, or you could play Madsen as one of the DMs. With eventually something like: Nardi
Santos Cook JCS Paal
Field Colback
Andersen Dembele Chair
Frey
Plenty other variations though

Instead of a ten carriage train, we are packed into a five carriage one. Why is every aspect of this country run by such utter cunts??? I travel up to Sheff quite a bit on train. Pick up Cross-Country Plymouth to Edinburgh train - 4 coaches usually. |

Firstly I am happy with our position and players
However in the next 2-3 matches if we play like that
We are going to be spanked
Anderson / Varane / Madison
Need to toughen up as they are too lightweight
Shows how much we do actually need Hayden
In the middle does it not

The team from end of last year seemed so strong
Now it seems soft just my opinion
Midfield is a problem it’s allowing teams to run through us easily

You can fanny around if you are Adel but we need those guys to win tackles. |

Was having poolside beer with Weds mate when their goal went in. He produced a Weds coaster and put it under my glass - must have been on the edge for 90 having brought it with him for a wind up. When we scored I poured the half I had left into his trainer. Justice.

On a positive note, we're on a 6 game unbeaten run.

Would have Madsen in front of Andersen who I have thought was way off the pace and poor yesterday. They look like they want to be in the same area of the pitch. We look so much better with Dembele central. |

I thought he was solid and never done anything wrong. When he was twisted few times he battled back and blocked cross. Never really saw him venture forward but he was on the pitch to defend

Didn't help losing JCS. Prefer seeing Dunne as RB than CB, personally.

We look so much better with Dembele central. Agree, and would never play the speedless Flaneur in the middle, personally. We have better options there. |
