Match Day Thread v QPR

[willsclarets]

Decent pass from muric to cork too which led to the Rodriguez chance

[Jimmymaccer]

Come on Burnley let’s have 7! I’m still damaged by 1979!

Remember watching that on MOTD………….

We’ve had a few good times there tho since!

[Bosscat]

Just been thinking here we are at QPR on Sky so they have a QPR biased pundit team (OK they have Chris Aluminium in thr studio but still QPR heavy)... last game was Blackbum and the Pundit was Fatty Dunn so deffo a Blackbum heavy Punditry team

[Jimmymaccer]

Who put the keeper in the B’trds net………….

Watching that mouth breather post match was more fun than the goals.

[ElectroClaret]

Should be four.

[Bosscat]

Chris Aluminium

Spider who used sit in front of us in the JHU, his Mrs called him that one game by mistake ... She shouted "come on Chris Aluminium" and it stuck we all called him that afterwards

[JimmyRobbo]

Should have been 4. Brownhill will have dreamed about assists like that.

[jos]

Twine……

[Bosscat]

Scotty Twine returns and Churlinov

[RVclaret]

Maatsen been superb today.

[Middle-agedClaret]

Not confusing him with Chris Brass…?

[jos]

Well a good win from a quality team

[NewClaret]

Brilliant, brilliant Away win

[RVclaret]

Excellent away performance.

So good to see Twine and Churlinov on the pitch too.

[Pickles]

Some absolute dross in the Championship. We've won that today at a complete stroll.

[derryclaret]

Another emphatic statement of intent, long may it continue!

[claretburns]

8 points clear of 3rd place.

[claretspice]

Bit of luck with early decisions (but not as much as Sky would imply - too much emphasis on 'contact' IMO) but generally very pleasing against a decent side.

Only negative a couple of cheap bookings, and if we're not careful Cork will be suspended again before the new year.

But overall, really pleasing stuff.

[claptrappers_union]

Easiest away win of the season.

[Jimmymaccer]

Merry Christmas folks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Safe trip back those that’s travelled!,,

[Casper]

Pretty pretty pretty good.

[Quicknick]

Great performance. UTC

[Boss Hogg]

Excellent performance all round.

[Milltown1882]

That was way too easy.

Have bookings not reset?

[Cirrus_Minor]

Brilliant win, superb goals and great all round display.

[Shaggy]

Keep these results/performances coming. Excellent away victory today.

[JimmyRobbo]

..(but not as much as Sky would imply - too much emphasis on 'contact' IMO) but generally very pleasing against a decent side.

One of my triggers is this reliance on "contact". It can't be a penalty without it but just because someone touches an attacker, it doesn't necessitate a penalty if they go down. I can't stand it.

Result

Qpr 0 Spades Mighty Clarets 3
Gudmundsson
Maatsen
Tella

Nice one. Fitting.

[Rileybobs]

Just a little bit too easy. The standard in this division really is quite poor and we should stroll into the Premier League.

[Lancasterclaret]

Very impressive, very clinical performance

Can't ask for more than that after one month off

[jojomk1]

Have bookings not reset?

Even so, silly bookings for JC and especially Cullen at the end

[AlargeClaret]

Great show and a couple of real premier league finishes . With a fully fit squad we should really press in and get out of this surprisingly poor league .

[Clovius Boofus]

3 points and good on the eye football. Lovin' it.

[claretspice]

Have bookings not reset?

No. 10 bookings before a certain number of games (I think 30) is a 2 game ban, and i think 15 before something like 35 games is a further 3 game ban. Cork will definitely trigger the first threshold, and he might even get to the last one.

[martin_p]

Have bookings not reset?

No, you just can’t be suspended for five yellows now. But the next threshold is ten and Cork has already moved onto eight.

[Rileybobs]

I’m not too concerned about the bookings. We do get the odd silly one but generally breaking up play with ‘tactical’ fouls is just a part of the way we play.

[Bosscat]

Fantastic result of course we mustn't forget this thread was dedicated to 'Her Maj Spades' Claret and what a fitting tribute to that wonderful lady and she will live on on these pages ❤

Also the Food Count as well helped

[Conroysleftfoot]

Very diplomatic comments by Jack about the foul.

[Bosscat]

Yes and last season with such a narrow squad we would have been more worried ... now there are greater numbers of quality players its not as big a problem, now we have returning players of quality coming back

[Bosscat]

Not forgetting the lucky away socks, pants and shirt

Edit

[Milltown1882]

Good to have Westwood back on the bookings front then.

[Croydon Claret]

QPR fans very gracious on the way out . Apparently we were "different gravy"

[Newcastleclaret93]

Just a little bit too easy. The standard in this division really is quite poor and we should stroll into the Premier League.

Fully agree. I can’t get over how poor the championship really is.

QPR are one of the better sides and they were abysmal. We should win this league by 10-15 points. Sheff United are the only other remotely decent side.

100 points is there for the taking. Looked absolutely electric today.

Watford have to be watched. They have some genuine quality and Bilic knows the score. Probably will spend in Jan too.

Good bunch. Proper club and fans. They are right too! Can't grumble when the opposition is that good.

[Rileybobs]

Indeed, they’ll have their eyes on the top two. But regardless of how well they will realistically do it would take a very poor run for us to lose 10 points to them.
