I honestly don't understand what Pep has done to Grealish. He used to be so direct and energetic, now he seems obsessed with not losing that ball, however dangerous a position he is in. |

Magic moment that - and if there had been VAR they would still be looking at it now, then cancelled it out with great glee |

A QPR player in the 4th round of the FA Cup - extraordinary. Go well, sir. Tell us what it was like, won't you? |

Yes, but we would never know because we would rest them all and then wonder why we lost in the cup again |

We've done the cup argument to death yet you are still retrofitting events to cement your delight at chucking the cup.
The hindsight arguments go the other way, including a missed trip to Old Trafford, resting Dunne which could have ended up beng in order to keep him fit for Sheffield Utd, and we aren't going to get promoted or relegated etc etc.
I don't care even if we win the league, not trying our best in cup games will grind my gears to the day I die.
And the criticism of Marti included primarily the fact he didn't care DURING the match, never mind the selection. |

You are of course right and this is extremely sensible stuff....but at some point you do have to build and have a squad to go up. Don't you do that by selling the luxury fancy dans and keeping a core of players (like Dunne) who have the drive to get you up? Can't keep churning all the time.
I also find it very hard to cheer a balance sheet.
But, I know you are right deep down. |

blimey, Jimmy, read that quote from Wilder and realise that he's hardly after you as being the new main man......more like desperate for a Championship stop gap |

Total guess, but isn't that likely to be Sheff Utd leaking some names out so we run scared from keeping on driving the price up?
Funny though, if we did manage to get £2m+ I wonder if Nourry would be tempted to break his rules on not revealing fees? |

I admire your optimism that we could find better Championship footballers than Cook, Field, Smyth with our budget. Funny how people see it, Cook and Field are the players I would least like to lose. |

Great shout. As quality as Ferguson was as a manager, taking one of the finest centre backs I've ever seen and playing him at right back was a total travesty.
As you say, his height was never a problem. Saw him take the evil Fashanu out of the game at Plough Lane in 88 I think, who got so frustrated he literally threw Parker into the crowd. God, how I hated that Wimbledon side. |

Play-offs? Get stuffed today and we'll all be worrying where our next 12 points are coming from, especially without Dunne and that fancy dan Soton loan in there instead |

Well good luck Jimmy but I fear he will sink without trace at Sheff Utd, especially if they get promoted. He needed some time with us to bed in and I wish him well but I think he will struggle. Hope not, enjoyed him whilst he was with us. |

Thanks Clive, your previews are as excellent as the reports.
As sad as it is about Jimmy - would be so tough to lose someone with such heart and commitment, but we all know what can happen if he were to sign a new contract. Sheffield Wednesday nullified him easily last week and no doubt that would become the norm and within a few weeks we're wondering why £2m wasn't taken.
Would much prefer he stayed, became the best RB in the championship and the heartbeat of our side for many years, but if he were to leave we'll get over it.
I guess my main frustration is that we should be able to keep hold of the Dunne types. Good, but not great. All commitment and heart. As you say, get the contract renewal offers at the right time, something it seems we have been poor at. It's the really good ones we won't be able to keep. |

You are of course right, Dave, but it is tough to take when he has been so important to us. But we have to put our big boy pants on, and realise that if in fact he did sign a new contract with us his form would soon disappear / leg explode etc.
A real test of the club and the plan, this. |

Yes, best of luck to her. Hopefully she can serve a few years there than come home to lead our women's team to the WPL. |

Agree - I really miss his late night show. Gordon Smart was so boring in comparison and gone over to podcasts now. |

Ha -- no. But Colin did end the show with "QPR 1 Birmingham 0" (opponent was a Birmingham fan) - not something I ever thought I would hear on Countdown. |

She nearly killed a long-running show single-handedly with her venomous ways (off-set as well, allegedly). Colin is totally the opposite, brought back the warmth and I think is the best the show has ever had. Not that I work from home and watch it, you understand. |

I think his name was Ted. Not our Ted, nor likely to be anyone on this board as he gave his favourite players as Adel and Kevin Gallen rather than Barry Bridges and Rodney Marsh..... |
