Bristol City v QPR 30DEC21 1 - 2 FT 7th/38pts

Dieng, Kakay and Chair are still available now until 3rd January, so can feature against Bristol City and Birmingham

Of course there is still a question mark next to Chair after he went off at half time yesterday.

This is a big match after back to back home defeats without scoring. We can't afford to lose more momentum in the race for the Top 6. I think the Bournemouth match proved any hope of finishing Top 2 is pie in the sky; we just need to focus on getting into the play offs.

We are still in a good position 1 point outside the Top 6 with games in hand, but bouncing back here will go a long way to restoring confidence and belief.

Well someone is excited at the prospect......  Seriously, we are struggling to convert crosses into chances and chances into goals. Whilst we play the way we do there is almost a need to 'score more than the opposition' to win games. Other sides park their buses across the goal area and look to ensure they do not lose.... If we are going to play such expansive football we need to have strikers who can breakaway fast (we have none) or can create havoc in the penalty box (currently ours are misfiring). Long term we need fitter/faster players with good ball control/ball-holding skills (Dykes is the only one who comes close).

Dieng
Dickie Dunne Barbet
Adomah Field Johansen Wallace
Chair Austin Willock

think Dykes, Kakay and Gray did nothing of any note against bournemouth so i would give Adomah and Austin a run out against my least favourite team in Bristol

exactly why i would play austin

reference Dykes and Gray the other day in the words of shania twain

that dont impress me much

ive been told of the players on MWs wishlist for a possible striker but im sworn to secrecy 

Well it has ended up as:

Dieng
Dickie Dunne Barbet
Adomah Field Johansen Wallace
Amos Austin Willock

Subs (also interesting for the absence of Gray and naming only 5): Archer, Kakay, Ball, Thomas & Dykes

Jesus, 10 minutes gone and we are lucky this is only 1-0.

The goal should have been saved, but Dieng saved a cheeky effort after and then their guy put a chance wide from 5 yards from a cross as he was unsighted.

Awful, awful start.

Austin with a penalty. We really, really don't deserve to be level. Amos did amazing to win it, busting a gut in their box to get tp the ball first and getting bundled over.

1-1 at half time.
