Well, interestingly enough, and with some irony, I've just taken stock of my new, French made, prosthetic limb. Surely a balancing omen,possibly positive. There is indeed more of a le hop and a le skip, to my jump.
From my clinic I've been parler avec Mon. Stéphan all morning. With the walking wounded and fatigue present in the troops, it sounds more like readying for Ypres than Sheffield United down there currently.
However, we've got our Starting XI sorted. Can't say too much, but we've also had a good discussion about subs.
We can but see!
Hope the hammy mends señor....we'll likely need you! |

You can't subject the likes of Lord Monkey of Roots and Supreme Commander Spaceman_P to cajoling, coercion, and blatant harassment to do freds, if you're not prepared to put up yourself!
Simple and incontrovertible fact: don't ask someone to do something if you're not prepared to do it yourself!
So, as agitator in chief of Monkey and Space, I'll get off my whinge box and do this one. Only done one before and I can only offer hope that I can't be as worse as I was then and W7R was midweek. Shirley?
That said, 1-1 my prediction.
C'mon Rs, 'kin 'ave it!!! |

Been saying this for several weeks now.
We are not getting into the POs so once we hit 50 points, play the pups with the pressure off. I believe some of them might have hamstrings.
Obviously if Cookie is going at the end of the season you give him a final hurrah, and anyone else leaving who is able to stand as well. |

Walsh had a mare (alongside the rest of them) and if we drop him then we might as well pay him up and let him go. I shudder to think what this would do to his confidence.
Don't get me wrong, I'm to be convinced, but if he's perpetually one game away from being dropped, then it won't work.
He needs some notion of belief in him, albeit if we've all got a question mark over him on here.
I remain of the view that there was a keeper in there (may still be) but this lad's development has been atrocious by QPR. If we drop him for Saturday, then this will really be on us! |

Why wasn't the G&W hoops worn?
Not sure whether, and if so, we've worn it that much this season, but it's a decent enough kit. |

Post Jim Gregory, Richard Thompson would be in with a shout compared to everyone that's succeeded him. And even then we wanted him gone! Christ what we'd give to turn the clock back.
We can also but speculate what might have been had David Bulstrode not died on the job, as it were! He seemed sensible, as did Amit. However, wasn't he the man who pushed for Gaz when we all knew he'd be a disaster.
The list of crooks, clowns, and charlatans we've had is as embarrassing as it is the cloak of perpetual failing that surrounds us. |

Get the huge search light out and spray the sky with our favourite flora for all to see: Paging Matty Rose, paging Matty Rose. This is Commissioner Gordon here...
Surely he's fit now after his 17 year lay off? |

Second game in against Watford, who were there for the taking, but we looked out of puff from the hour mark. It was then that the 'loading' philosophy was ventilated and discussed on here.
But as someone said above and as we've all to a man, woman, and a dog been saying all season: we just don't look fit!
I only saw 20 mins last night, but thought we looked ponderous and way off it. Poor fitness, conditioning, and rehab will only ever lead to new and repetitive injuries.
This is what we've all been banging on about and seven months in, the fitness and medico-rehab folks are not proving us wrong.
Throw in the purchasing of players with injury records, it's a recipe for failure. |

The Tour de France is around 21 days in duration, with a few rest days in between.
Therefore, you'd think that if you've got to get riders ready for five hours of peak performance pretty much everyday of these tours, getting the Rangers ready with, on average, four days rest per week in the busier weeks, would be a different, but not insurmountable challenge, as other clubs seem to find it. I suppose it wouldn't be if we knew what we were doing, of course! |

Personally, I think this whole '3GW' syndrome, is a load of ol' bollox!
While I've one of the many on here who have reservations about the effectiveness of our fitness and medico-rehab set-up, playing three games some weeks, is hardly being on the frontline in the Ukraine!
The fact we can't seem to handle it, is as much down to mindset as it muscles. The solution is where the problem begins: from within! [Post edited 25 Feb 7:53]
