Downsouth 6,175 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 This forum sucks at times!😄 Any way back to the game and I am of the opinion that we need to win this game so that perhaps we can make The Riverside a place where opposition will not enjoy the thought of playing here. Already all eyes are on Fulham but it would be good to raise a few eyebrows or two about our club. Always difficult playing QPR, fast and organised but we too have shown we can be fast and organised as well Home win please any score to nil will be ine 2 Link to post Share on other sites

We played reasonably well v Bristol, I thought our defence looked relatively solid bar their goal. We can not afford to switch off against QPR. They move the ball around well and at pace on the counter. I am not normally conservative in my approach to trying to win a football match, but today I am. I want to see us pack the defence and midfield to make life as difficult as possible for their flair players. Morsy and Howson will be vital in breaking up play and protecting the back four. We need to keep possession where we can and hit them on the break, set pieces may be our best opportunity to score. I don’t think the game will be easy on the eye. I would not be disappointed with a 0-0 in this one. Link to post Share on other sites

Changing Times 12,211 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Seems to be a bit of apprehension, if that's the right word, for this one. They had a strong finish to last season I know but still lost games to some less than good teams. This season they won well at Hull but otherwise haven't looked that great, although neither did we in the cup in fairness! To me this is the sort of game we should be relishing in a way. I don't think they are one of the best sides in the league, but they are good enough to give most a game, and be one of those teams somewhere between halfway and the playoffs, just like we both were last season. If we can put them away then it should increase optimism for the season ahead, and hopefully show that we are ahead of where we were last season. Link to post Share on other sites
