We need second half at Leicester style levels out the gate today. I think we can guarantee QPR are gonna come at us hard today, so we need to counter act that energy ourselves

Should we bottle this we'll get plenty, don't you worry.

People keep using this phrase 'bottle it' I take it that footballer and the media are not exactly academics so use phrase regularly due to lack of vocabulary. Going back to the phrase, what does it mean? Bottled what? Nothing is concluded until it is impossible for anyone to catch them or they are successful on the last day.
We started the season well, not necessarily due to our quality, although it did look like it at times, but we had a squad that carried on from last season whereas other teams needed time to gel, and are catching us up, but we have never stated that we would be in the same place come the end of the season.
Other teams are enjoying our form but we are STILL the best team in the league because we are top. The whole purpose of this year is to TRY and get promoted, as EVERY team does. We look better placed than most and possibly still do. It is natural when you are top teams want to beat you and will raise their game, but actually as Boro and Ipswich succeed opponents will raise their game against them too, as we saw with Sheef Utd and possibly see with Norwich today.
Going back to 'bottled it' we have not bottled anything, we are still game for a fight and I would rather be in our position than anywhere else. The players, I believe, still believe they can do it and why not because we still have a great squad and excellent coaching staff.
If come the end of the season we are not successful I will still support them, as will most, of course we will be disappointed but we try again next season. We are enjoying this new experience of being at the top, so enjoy it.

I wonder if we will see Esse in the 10 role today. I would probably start with Rudoni but if it's not working I would move Esse there, potentially as early as half time. We can then bring a fresh Saka on.

Although today isn't a must win I really want us to. We need to get back to winning ways away from home quickly and I shall be getting even more nervous than I already am if the gap narrows further. A win for us and at least one of Ipswich or Middlesbrough dropping points would be very nice.

Going to this one today, can't wait. Setting off from Pompey in about an hour.

First time to Loftus Rd as well.

3rd away game of the season. Current aggregate score of the first two was 6-1 Cov. Reckon it'll be 8-2 Cov come 5pm 🤞🏻

Worried about this one but feel we could easily get something here.

QPR aren’t a bad side although got a lot of injuries here.

Ultimately feel as tho this game will be decided by mentally and we will learn a lot about the players and Lampard today.

It's mainly people losing their nerve and having meltdowns on here to try and cope with it.

Score draw, hope I’m wrong. Nice and compact in midfield and nothing silly from the centre halves, please. Be great to get back on the horse, but it’s a funny old game. PUSB
