Almost in tears here. I was thinking 0-5 or something and it's all too much for me. Bloody brilliant

I was surprised how dirty Bournemouth were, especially because they didn't need to be. The tackles by Smith (he got booked) and Rico near the end were awful. Rico's on O'Hare generated a volley of abuse towards O'Hare from him and a teammate too. Cook steaming in on Hamer was out of order as...

The Carl Baker return. Sorry.

agree completely - and McFadz still got the ball first

Robin's post-match reaction on the offal is for once exactly what I wanted to say about the match. We let - or couldn't prevent - QPR play their expansive game in the first half. Their players controlled the ball better than ours and used the full pitch, making us look second best. They seemed...

QPR didn't create that much but they looked at ease on the ball and had very skilful outlets down both wings. Asayi Samuel looked unplayable at times and I felt it was just a matter of time before they clicked and he set someone up. I didn't rate their striker, Dykes. Actual chances? Not many, no.

That first half we apparently had 33% possession, but I would have guessed less. Godden's equaliser a turning point. The second half was how I thought we'd be from the start: fast, direct, determined and competitive. I didn't think we'd have another two goals in us though. I still think QPR...

Well I never BOOOOM

It's been a long time since I've seen us so totally outplayed. Men against boys. BUT (1) why did the ref give a penalty? McFadz got the ball and their player fell into him with his momentum. BUT (2) class header from Godden. I don't remember the O'Hare penalty shout. This has been a very...

Randy for raillery

Spot on - that Scunny defeat was my first thought at the end (though the order of the goals was different). In both games our opponents just seemed to be cranking their way towards an inexorable win, though not especially deserved

Gutted - things seemed to change when Allen went off, though I suspect the fatigue was beginning to set in around then anyway A pity to concede that way too. We were all over them for long spells in the first half. I remain optimistic overall

Very encouraging. It's like watching us last season against the usual physical but limited sides. I missed the first fifteen minutes getting frustrated with ifollow but the rest has been O'Hare's skill and tenacity, Shipley and Hamer's tracking and ball-winning, Godden's repeated runs and calls...

still nothing from ifollow - in fairness it's normally good but this is a bad start to the season for them (and us)

Oh yes, and loads of posters will be writing 'Robbins'

I'll be the one stifling the urge not to write 'Jesus Marosi, stop playing it around at the back and just launch it'. After the first few games last season it imprinted itself durably on my cerebral cortex and it'll take a while to clear.

I think the new kit is all right, no more. The link with Rosario and Quinn's era etc is tenuous to my eyes however. Much preferred last year's and I wish we lived in a different world where we could just keep the same shirt for a couple of years without having to change the bally thing every...

I like the aerial shots of the city at dusk

This is hilarious, what a fertile imagination

haha
