The building blocks all came off the bench on Tuesday. Morgan, Bennie, Adamson, Esquerdinha and, even Varane. Expect to see more of those 5. Plus Smith, Alahmaeyhu? |

Walsh was poor but he wasn't alone in that. I'm not sure he could have done anything about the first or the last but, as I'm sure he would acknowledge, he was largely responsible for the others. Saying that, it was Mbengue who lost Matsuki for the unmarked header. And Mbengue got skinned for the others.
Overall, Walsh has looked the best of the 3 keepers we have used. At 23, the potential is significant. Perhaps he should have had a L1 loan earlier, but it's far too late now.p |

One thing that has impressed me is the discipline to stay in shape and deny the opposition space. It starts from the front and both Kolli and Kone worked hard to limit their options.
If the front 2 make life difficult, it's so much easier for the rest of the team
They only had 2 attempts on target, the goal and Walsh's save. The goal was preventable with both RND and Ronnie culpable. The way Hull started I didn't think it was going to be so comfortable. |

QPR teams have already been involved in 2 x 1-0 home wins this week. Hard to see past a repeat on Sat lunchtime.
FYI - DS beat Cardiff 1-0; the women lost 1-0 @ Craven Cottage. |

It's that last bit that really concerns me. I invested in the 2021 Bond, which helped to build the training ground. I've extended it for another 3 years to support the love to Cat 1 Academy.
But if there's a £10m charge over the ground, the value of the bond would be close to negligible. |

Fck me. If that's the highlight, you need to find somewhere better for breakfast. And that's before you start watching the football. |

I don't get this obsession with needing a LB.
Sure, RND is only on loan, but we have both Esquerdinha and Larkeche on the books. Whether 1 or both will be good enough is questionable. Both are young enough to develop.
I think Esq could well be first choice with Larkeche as a backup. |

No.
Murphy and Petrie have gone to believe National League.
Morgan and Bennie are with the 1st team.
McDowell on a season long loan at Bracknell.
I think the test are still on our books, although quite a few have been out on loans of various lengths and quality. |

I suspect it will bring in trivial amounts. However, it is a step that should increase interest in both the DS and the Women.
I don't believe many on here take that much notice of non-first team affairs.
How many know about yesterday's game; The DS beat Cardiff 1-0 with the only goal from Ridwan Hassan. Considering that Street, Adamson and Esquerdinha all went off, that seems like a brilliant defensive performance. They are on the fringe of the playoffs, now. |

Ouch.
How can you boost wages 15% when revenue is only up 9%?
£98 out of every £100 is unsustainable. No wonder they were happy to see Colback go. And Field on loan. Where does that leave the likes of Steve Cook?
The annual loss stretches PSR limits.
We desperately need another Eze |

Our budget may not be the second lowest, but I doubt if we're higher than bottom quartile. Whether we like it or not, budget bears a close correlation to final placing. What is disappointing, or a missed opportunity, is that clubs with similar budgets, e.g. Millwall and Preston, have been top 6 for most of the season.
With our budget, the best hope is steady improvement over a number of years. For me, if we finish top 10, that will be a decent season. Hopefully, one to build on. |

The club have been giving plenty of games to Esquerdinha, Morgan and Bennie. Why do you think we're better off sending them on loan? At what level? If it's not L1 ( or better) why would we?
Who's to say we don't start using Salamon as 3rd choice keeper. Or renew Hamer? |

Given how many players are in their first Championship season, e.g. Mbengue, Kone, Buŕell, Vale, Poku, I would hope we improve on this season. You could add Walsh and Esquerdinha to that list. The club clearly have high hopes for both.
Nardi will go. Cook and Hayden possibly. But we will need a certain amount of experience to guide the younger players, perhaps Dunne, Chair. Any progress will be governed by how much further the youngsters can develop |

Arkell Jude-Boyd just got a 2nd yellow playing for Cheltenham. 90+9 so unlikely to affect outcome. |
