Didnt even know where I was or what year it was at first. Let alone the score 

I was making a cuppa so I missed it too. Back in time for the replay thankfully!

3 successive block to stop QPR scoring... great defending but have to get a grip on the game. Bell & Conway need to get on the end of some balls and take the pressure off.

Yep, had a 10 minute period where we did the worst thing possible...let Martin and Dykes have it with our CBs 5 yards off them, time to control, turn, bring others in.  Thankfully we stopped giving them the freedom of our half and then began to control the game.

Williams been really good so far, shame he hasn't been fit to put in these types of performances this season.

Yes, combative.  Wants to add tempo to the game, which helps us.

Jamo has been excellent though alongside him. One great ball out to Pring off of Bell's run inside to drag Laird with him.  That's what I want to see Belly doing, influencing the game without having the ball.

Sykes a very good first half.  My "meh" signing in the summer, he's been a plus overall.

Lovely goal too, TC / AS on-two initially, set the initial cross up.

Decent enough half.  Cannot afford to drop off the pace.

I don't necessarily disagree, but the issue is Bell is playing as an inside forward, creating spaces for Pring to overlap which has created at least two very good opportunities. Mehemeti tends to occupy those spaces. 

 

As per my response above, when Bell stays out wide (and he does too often imho) it stops Pring's space.  Got to get closer to Conway.

Why oh why did stupid reading have to get a points deduction.

Shame Tommy hasn't got his shooting boots on, 2 very good opportunities and should have done better when he hit the side netting. 
Sykes proving he can get goals is a big bonus for next year and having Naismith pinging those passes to him is a real threat.
Pring has been good at both ends and James has been good.
Good away performance so far, but need to be clinical against sides when we dominate.

Love the pace we are putting in the ball when passing

According to the stats Max hasn't needed to make a save or catch the ball in the first half

sure he made one block at the near post with his feet...

[old_eastender]

Martin misses a great chance, heading over

[George Rs]

qpr starting much better this second half, two good chances both should at least be on target.

He's at 7/1 for next scorer and 7/2 for an anytime goal

[old_eastender]

Martin goes close, possibly just nicked the post.

Chris Martin has the bit between his teeth today, fair play. I did always like him a lot 

For us he was slow and didn't score enough.....nice bloke though!

[Spike]

Cracking Finish that from Bell, great ball into him too.
