Good point considering the surprise win at Norwich. 0-0 was a cert. Hopefully Osmajic actually hasn't said anything racist to Hannibal, although not sure it can be proved.

Another clean sheet for Porteous and Burnley ..

Looks very solid so far.

Wow

Cannot believe we haven’t won that

Dominated from start to finish. Just could not put the ball in the net (even Coventry done that for us)

Then an absolute clanger from Beadle in injury time. Absolutely sickening. I always defend Beadle as he gets a bit of stick but there’s no defending that. He’s shit himself taking a high ball because 1 player put him under, resulting in a tap in for Simms

Great win and a clean sheet which must admit wasn't expecting given the back 4 probably had never even trained together let alone start a game away to one of the top teams.

Nice to score from a corner and a shut out for Selvik.

How typical of us to suddenly look decent away from home as the home form goes to pot.

Let's hope that isn't the case next week though!

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Best we have played in an absolute eternity and still lost so that’s how well it’s all going for us!

Should have been ahead in the first half, Aasgaard looked really lively, hit the post and Adebayo missed what looked a sitter with him and Jones queuing up at the back stick to put it in.

Second half was more even and they had some good chances whilst Cooper made some good saves. Then the usual McGunniess switch off happens and we lose.

Frustrating but came to terms with the relegation after the midweek game so nice to just see some semblance of a way of playing forming.

Very good away win today. Not a classic, but kept oxford to minimal chances. Thought after getting the goal early in the 2nd half with a Thunderbolt (1 yard scuffed tap in) we had some very good chances to get a 2nd. Oxford then threw everything at us. Schmid with a stunning save and a few missed free headers. Nice to get that last min 2nd to close the game. Huge away win. Doubled our away win total lol

Yes great block at the end too .

Burnley fans not happy with the ref - guess that is because they feel there was a penalty shout late on .

But think your lad got the ball.

Yep. The slightest of touches but still a touch. Their player was already going down anyway. Horrible team of entitled cheats, I'll be delighted if they don't go back up.

Millwall at home next, they're going well under Alex Neil, but we're pretty strong at home. Another draw to add to our long tally wouldn't be a surprise.

A win would leave us only 4pts off 6th.

McCann back in for Ledson, and maybe Brady in for Meghoma would be my changes from the Burnley game. Hopefully Osmajic starts but not sure if he will while he's under investigation for saying something racist to that Mejbri. He strongly argues he was misheard, guy barely knows any English.

Woodman
Porteous - Gibson - Hughes
KKH - McCann - Thordarson - Brady
Potts - Frokjaer
Osmajic

Another big match on Saturday. QPR are a mixed bag. On their day a very good side, but very much a good midtable side from what I've seen. They possess some proper "match winners" as proved V Derby. Some stunning strikes kicked that game off and they just looked like scoring every time they got forward. We're on a very good run at home having only lost the 1 match at home since 25th October... Can we make it 3 wins on the spin which would be an amazing acheivment. Going to be hard as unless a miracle happens we'll be missing Callum Lang who has been incredile this season, although he's looked tired for a last few weeks. Also missing Conor Shaughnessy who game back from injury scored a goal, then pulled his Hamstring (typical of us this season) Plus points are 20 year old Aussie Hayden Matthews has come in and been outstanding at the back. Looks every bit a potential Premier league centre back in the making. Mark O'Mahoney who scored the 2nd v Oxford back from 12 weeks out gives at least Bishop the chance to come off without making our front line look weaker. Sunderland loanie Adil Aouchiche will most likely replace Lang at number 10. He's not the bussling type that Lang is, but technically looks very good on the ball. I'm going for a 2-1 win again

You would have got good odds on Struijk being the Leeds hero off the bench .

Very dramatic stuff .

That is probably Leeds up now ?

Two top is done, neither of those sides will slip up. Too much quality, with experienced managers.
