That really was like watching us last year. Brought back very bad memories right the way down to the horrible away kit

Only difference is they got the luck and Brum’s abysmal finishing saved them a point.

I suspect he’ll get it right.

Those fake hoops appear to have bigger problems than ourselves........

Several teams including ourselves not looking good so far, only positive for us is we're only just losing by single goals right now but Clement needs to get results soon or he won't last long.

Swansea Leeds I'm really looking forward to this. Chance to see how Potter will set up. Doubt he will set up like the Birmingham game again, but then playing like that and getting a point shows fight and making your own luck. Think he will go with the set up he used away at Sheffield United where they blitzed the powered their way back in the game. Should be a good game.
Derby as well tonight. Boy, Lampard is gonna be under a bit of pressure if they lose. The Derby board arnt very forgiving when things go wrong. Something like 7 managers in 5 seasons there.

I thought Derby were poor against us. Not suprised they are struggling a bit

Looks like QPR are going to keep us from that bottom place anyway. Was confused when they sacked Holloway at the time and even more so now

Yeah I thought Derby made us look good. Interesting their attendance seems so poor tonight. Wonder if some don't like what their seeing already.

QPR are in big big trouble that fine is crippling. Holloway is a good manager, very odd decision to get rid of him. Their owners clearly have no idea the damage their doing to their own assets.

Absolutely. McLaren odds on for first LCh manager to be given the elbow? At least we have lost all three league games by just the single goal. I believe they're GD is -11 after 4 games!! Cue us getting a stuffing at Ewood tomorrow :oops:

There a lot of very below average to frankly crap teams in this division, which is why I am not too concerned at this point. If we can pick up a win or two quickly we could be up in midtable before you know it but also even if we don't there are a number of clubs who will struggle to pull away from us.

QPR maybe a bit more of a problem now they have just signed Hemed on loan and apparently Wells is not far behind. I would have taken either of them on loan for us. that is a top champ strike force just in those 2.

yeah think they are decent signings. Suppose you'd wonder how quickly they'd both hit the ground though considering neither has played much for a year - similar to Baldock.

Maybe but a lot of their issues are the 8 players playing behind the strikers.

QPR sign Hemed and Wells. Two very good signings who are both much better than Baldock IMO. I think QPR will start to make a come back and so we need to get our act together quickly.

I'm amazed they got those two

I'm also pished off we didn't. Much better business I think, and can see them starting to improve a bit now

Yep QPR now have the firepower to move up the League. Would have preferred Wells or Hemed to Baldock too.
