Luxo Jr. Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 We've gone on such a good run that we can actually afford to drop a point or two. It depends what you really expect/want from this team. I'd be perfectly happy with finishing anywhere in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 LJ will field the strongest team available and as far as know there were no injuries last night so I'd expect FF back in goal and the same outfield as last night. Why would he have to field a weakened team? A pointless question imv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Yes worth it. When LJ and all these players are gone we will still talk about it here. We all want promotion. We means everyone with any care for the club. Saturday is another game in the championship and we know it will be tough. I won’t hold it against LJ as we could have not played last night and still lose Wednesday. That is the league. We can be content knowing that if we do lose that the Man U game won’t be used as an excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Geoff Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Leeds in the 70's, Anfield, Bradford, Sheffield Utd A, Forest, who remembers or cares what the following results were. Those that were there remember these special nights for ever. These are the results that make up for all the other dirge dished up over the years. A bit of glory is what it is all about for a club like ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrabrewer Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Before last night I would have said not worth it, prioritise league etc. Having now experienced it, its totally worth it.

Extreme example of course but would I swap last night for automatic promotion? In a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfieldred Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 We already have a terrible record at loftus Rd. holloway would have parked the bus despite being at home. Tough match. Hopefully the result last night will give confidence. Just glad it didn't go to extra time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think sometimes tiredness etc can be more in the mind than anything. I remember in the 06/07 promotion season everyone was worried the Saturday after we took Boro to extra time in the FA cup, we had a really tough league game at Blackpool (who would end up getting promoted with us). Ended up battling to a superb 1-0 victory. I'll stick my neck out and back us to do the same on Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Forest was important, gave us impetus, never like to lose at home, etc. I know the boys covered some miles tonight, but it was 90 minutes...glad it didn’t go into extra-time. Time for the Sports Science chaps at the club to measure the impact and devise the rest and training plan to get the best side out there on Saturday. The players won’t feel tired after a win, but their bodies might tell them something different. If they want to stay competing in this division, these are the runs of games that make or break you. Having said that, the FA Cup becomes a freebie for us imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian dave Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I guess it depends: on whether we lose out on promotion/play offs by 3 points and/or whether we get to the Cup Final! We'll certainly make another shed load of cash from the semi, so that another factor! I know what you mean about the fatigue, coupled with our injuries and thin squad. To be honest I think what's more of a problem than last night is that we've got two more games now in January - and it looks like that will be before most of our injured players start returning to fitness.

Sorry but players definitely ran a lot further and harder last night than I've ever seen against league opposition. Furthermore mentally it would be more tiring last night as they had to be always on, ready for the likes of Pogba. Can't believe I'm writing about how Pack kept Pogba, £90mil Pogba, quiet!

RedM Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 We could have ran ourselves ragged last night and lost the game. Getting the result we did will spur them on as they will want to be playing games like this week in and week out. Maybe Brownhill is a concern, didn’t notice any other knocks etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pack did a great job on Pogba but maybe Pogba was one of those who didn't want to be there as Mourinho mentioned post match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were dead on their feet near the end and still managed to get runners into the box, that would be the Manchester effect. We had to chase a little more and the effort was higher as the opposition was THAT much better. 28 minutes ago, Davefevs said: Forest was important, gave us impetus, never like to lose at home, etc. I know the boys covered some miles tonight, but it was 90 minutes...glad it didn’t go into extra-time.

MichaelRobartes Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I could be wrong but I think 1977 was the last time we won a league match at Loftus Road. Since then we've had seven defeats and five draws. That being said, we did win a 2002 LDV match there on penalties. We seem to have turned around our terrible record against Forest in recent years so maybe it's about time we won at QPR. https://www.11v11.com/teams/bristol-city/tab/opposingTeams/opposition/Queens Park Rangers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
