Agreed - there was a lad in the lower tier bellowing 'what a waste of money' at Haji Wright when we were 3-0 up, so not borne out of any pent up frustration on the day, just thinking he was funny. Tawt.
I hear this sort of stuff and despair sometimes. Mostly our support in the last couple of years has been fantastic. We need to get back to that ….but you will always get loose cannons ( for want of a kinder description ). I’m glad Simms showed he can do it though and that’s the best way of shutting them down.
They were a few rows below me. It was a young lad who was about 15 - and the worst bit about it was that it wasn’t even the lad who did it who got arrested - it was his mate who ran away when the stewards came overOne of our fans has been arrested for breaking two seats by jumping on them, apparently
It was on paper. I’m glad I was wrong@procdoc
What a prick.
Yeah tbf going on the previous results with the same previous team sheets you’d be hard pushed to predict we’d win 3-1. Of course they’ll be some people that would have said we’d win 3-1 or something but I presume the vast majority of people would have said it’ll be a draw or maybe a slim margin win for us. I thought it’d be a draw but also glad I was wrong.It was on paper. I’m glad I was wrong
Robins read your post about changing formation and ignored itI couldn’t make the game yesterday unfortunately but I heard it was a game of two halves, just wondering if anyone has thoughts on what switched us on in the second half? Was it more direct passing or runs from strikers etc that got us the 3 goals? Or was it more just that QPR switched off? Just genuinely interested as to why we scored 3 second half.
Looked to me like playing at a higher tempo really exposed the lack of speed in the QPR defence, they disintegratedI couldn’t make the game yesterday unfortunately but I heard it was a game of two halves, just wondering if anyone has thoughts on what switched us on in the second half?

Eyy good one, can trust old Fernando for a jibeRobins read your post about changing formation and ignored it

I love how we beat QPR and suddenly we don’t need to worry about the team tactics, still a long old season, and I’m still interested as to why almost every team in the Prem plays 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. Maybe this 3-4-1-2 suits our players but I just think it’s a Robins thing. I think he’d play 5 at the back regardless of what team he managed. Fair enough I suppose, that’s his style, I just find it quite defensive, I’m glad we got the win though.
I get the feeling that people on here think that anyone who asks questions or complains about tactics wants us to lose, we’re all Cov fans, it’s just constructive criticism, we all want us to win, I want us to win as many games as possible. Personally I think a box formation or 4-4-2 would help with that, just my take on it. Anyway, I think we’ll be a lot better now Simms has got his goal, just need Haji to do the business. Roll on Blackburn!
These premier league teams who play 4 3 3 that you keep banging on about, how many do it without a ball carrier or a box to box midfielder?
How many times have we done that with 3412?
Good point Clint, give you that one, however in that last comment I did go on to say that I think 4-4-2 could work well, Sheaf and Allen in the midfield, Bidwell LB, Dasilva LW, MVE RB, Saka RW maybe? Just an idea anyway, doesn’t really mean anything as I’ve got no influence on Robins (many of you will be thankful to knowThese premier league teams who play 4 3 3 that you keep banging on about, how many do it without a ball carrier or a box to box midfielder?

Very nice
5th highest I think , I'd still suggest dropping into a box formation to hold a lead at the end of a matchBefore Saturday, the only suggested formation change that made any sense to me given our squad would have been the box, but I think any chance that had of happening is now on the back burner given the result.
Also, think we are one of the highest scorers in the league, I think 7th or 8th, but again conceded late, albeit wasn't much of an issue in the end but I still think that's the biggest concern we should be addressing, happening far to frequently.
Yeah I think the box is the only formation that would have been used but you’re probably right in saying that we won’t be changing the system any time soon.Before Saturday, the only suggested formation change that made any sense to me given our squad would have been the box, but I think any chance that had of happening is now on the back burner given the result.

Poor from McFadzean
Looks like he wasn't offside then.I liked this for the first as well, perfectly timed finish with Twist n Shout
Looked level with Binks and one of their men to meLooks like he wasn't offside then.
You can play that with 2 holding, you can't really do it with 4 3 3, don't think anyone in the prem attempts to
theres something hilarious about young kids singing with their big boy deep voices on lolI liked this for the first as well, perfectly timed finish with Twist n Shout
What’s Heston Blumenthal doing scrapping with Gregg Wallace? Was he unfairly critical of the consistency of his halftime soufflé.May have already been posted, apologies if so but a friend has just sent this...a Cov fan fighting in the QPR end...
The City fan was the one sitting down with a few mates, they were in corporate wearing lanyards, think the QPR guy in the gillet didn't take to kindly to City scoring and the guys cheering. Picked on the wrong guy as is an ex bouncer and has a bit of a reputation in CoventryMay have already been posted, apologies if so but a friend has just sent this...a Cov fan fighting in the QPR end...
