QPR will play the low block. Although, I don't necessarily associate them for that kind of tactic unlike say Preston. OPR teams normally have a lot of flair players, and are wildly inconsistent, but you don't want want to catch them on one of their good days.

Love Bobby Thomas, and we'd need a big signing to replace him. He's got an error in him, but so did Brian Kilcline. I have always liked the Thomas / Kitching partnership, and as their both mid 20's, they will only improve. Personally, I think he's going nowhere. Frank loves him.

Simms played wide at Preston, couple of years ago, and was really good actually. I don't think you can mess with any of the front 3 after Saturday.

Has to be same XI. Rafa for BTA maybe to mess with QPR.

Something happened with Robins obviously. He barely played until Frank came in. .

I was encouraged by the first 2 games. We looked classy today. On another level than Derby. Their first goal was never a free kick,. It was a foul on EMC, and Thomas was pushed for the penalty. Two hands on his back. Awful referee. Gave us very little, and cost us 2 goals. I thought we...

Rushworth 6 MVE 5 - wonderful assist for the 4th but was half asleep most of the game. He’s going I reckon. Thomas 7 - Going nowhere, but poor header for Derby’s 3rd. Clearly pushed for their penalty. Kitching 8 Da Silva 6 BTA 8 - That touch out wide which led to Torp’s goal was class Grimes 7...

He ain't going nowhere. Just like Rudoni. Most clubs must get several offers for their players. Along with Grimes, I would put Bobby Thomas the least likely to leave the club. Infact, I don't think anyone will. No way Lampard take this job in November if his best players will be sold in the...

I like BTA, but he's never a starter. Hs energy is useful off the bench, winning or losing, but at he's 26 and was a regular starter for WBA before coming here.. Strange that Robins brought him in, as we were set on 4-3-3 that summer. He's neither a 9 or a winger, although can do a job in...

He has to start Simms. missed some chances on Tues, but 2nd half he was good. Nice lay offs, bullying the Luton defenders. Frank surely had words at half time. He got a response. So give him the shirt We can't start BTA or Haji (not fit yet) as CF surely. KKH over MVE Otherwise unchanged from...

We had some shocking away performances / results at the end of last season. Derby and Plymouth being the worst. The Luton performance had a bit of fight, but that's all. Saying that though, I've been quite impressed from the first 2 games. 4-0 Cov with Derby down to 10 men at some point (red...

Fine. We have a clear upgrade at GK High quality competition for MVE (who stays) And the emergence of Rapha and Kai Andrews who both look excellent from what I've seen. Bidwell as the backup LCB. Not ideal, but he's an experienced player and has never looked out of place there. There's clearly...

thought he was brilliant. Nice competition with Saka out wide now. I always thought he'd be good, with no evidence, but I didn't think he'd be that good. Made the night for me his performance (Kai Andrews was great too)

Would end our season right there. Won't be enough time to adequately replace him, and who could. The figure banded about of £15M is a disgrace. With his development and closeness with Frank Lampard, I would assume that will see Frank go too, or certainly put a strain on his working relationship...

Allen looked better when Grimes came on and he could push forward. He barely won a challenge at DM. Used the ball reasonably well though.

Watched the extended highlights back. As I thought at the time, we played some great stuff in the 1st half. The Sakamoto shot, 2 near chances for Rudoni, the BTA penalty shout. Should, and deserved to have been 1-0 up at HT. Started 2nd half well too, with the MVE shot. Then the last 30 mins...

Happy with that. Chance to see Brau in his natural position. Simms's last chance? Surely he has a point to prove. We might finally get to run the rule over Rapha. Got a feeling with his build and pace, he could be a CF down the line.

Simms last start was against Boro at home last game of the season. We played well that day. Simms was quiet, but smashed a first time shot just wide early on. He hasn't played since. Are we saying had he scored that day, he would of still been benched and not used for the 2 semi finals? At...

Not too downhearted about today. We were in control of the match. Thought we were good for the first 60 mins but then started to run out of ideas, and Hull started the time wasting. Saka looked knackered after 70 mins but no Rodrigues, and I think we now know for sure that Simms is not in...

Top quality RB. Competition for MVE (as it stands). Big upgrade on GK, and from what I've seen a classy left sided defender. The emergence of Kai Andrews in pre season, No sales of our best players. I think it's been a very good summer so far. Almost certain there will be at least 1 more...
