Not today no.

I agree, Moore was very good and QPRs quality meant the chances they had, they made the most of; was just an attempt at satire regarding your previous post suggesting the rest of the team didn't compete

He won’t find that funny. I tried the same satire he didn’t like it

We desperately need to spend the international break practicing our finishing, We must have a piss poor return compared to the number of chances we’ve created.
And it’s about time one of our defenders got on the end of a set piece.
Waghorn did ok today, but he just doesn’t look like a goal scorer to me.

He's a second striker no doubt , would ideally like to play 5 yards behind the front man

You would have had a point if I said he competed, I did see made better saves than their keeper.

The chuckle brothers were funnier than you pair, as were fred and rose.

If the plan was to play all the strikers then he had the wrong combinations on. It should have been one of Gyo/Waghorn with one of Godden/Walker

We definitely had a point anyway.

I'll answer in the style of you...
"But Fred and Rose weren't even comedians?!"

Hopefully once Walker and Godden are up to speed that will help. I still think one of those alongside Gyokeres will be the main partnership

We then need some others chipping in as you say. Ohares a top player but that’s one area where I think Robins could really help him

Better news - Sam Morsy sent off for M'Boro - so misses the game against us.

That's the second player Middlesbrough have had sent off in a week, so both will miss the game against us.

That’s just in your head. I’ve not said we were awful, just they had better players across the pitch and we didn’t win our battles. That’s why they had more shots on target and almost twice as much possession. Play like that and we’ll beat bottom half sides easily, but talk of us being a top six side is very premature.

You were slagging Moore off like fuck before he’d even played a game for us, and you call others premature, hypocrisy!

I think today’s defence owes him an apology more than shmeee. Or does it?

I’m just pointing out his sheer hypocrisy when he piped up in every thread in pre-season banging on about Walton and Sarkic before he’d even seen Moore play. He lost all credibility with his constant bed wetting

If we had Austin and Dykes we'd be serious contenders. Not cheap though those pair.

Which game? Was it retrospective? See he didn't start today, but can't find a reference to him being sent off. Apologies in advance!!

Sorry can't remember which game, the fact he didn't play to day suggests he didn't win an appeal.

He was very good. First team we've played who had players that really stood out, maybe the lad who played wide right for Blackpool as well.

Weird - he was selected by all the fans in the predicted line up (they'd know if he was suspended, there is no reference to a red card in previous matches. In addition, they are going to appeal Morsy's red card). Don't really care as long as we beat them!!

We smashed them for 45 minutes last week and my thinking was if you both played as you did against us you’d take them to the cleaners, unfortunately obviously footballs not as predictable as that.

two nil flattered them ut its the same old story that we didnt take our chances.
after we went 1-0 down our heads dropped and the subs just didnt work.
Moore mom for me that save from the free kick was save of the season and as others have said the front line needs to by Gyokeres plus one. The change of forwards just didnt work with the combination

In our games against yourselves and QPR you were by far a better team than them, so I thought you’d beat them but it’s a different day and a different game.
