QPR v Blackpool 23Feb22 2 - 1 FT 3rd/56pts

Well I felt Dunne stood more chance of scoring than any of the strikers, so it was just a question of when....

Do agree about Sanderson being stupid. There was just no need and only one result from that. 

Well done to stoatey for realising Ball could come on, but that meant sacrificing Chair or Willock, and it was the latter who was rested.

We defended extremely well, even with 10 men, and deserved to win. Blackpool lacked ambition and left themselves exposed as they looked for goals. Happy!!

Dunne was outstanding again tonight but I thought Odubajo maybe just shaded things for my MotM.

Dunne was great but his mis hit lead to their goal so not sure he can get MOM possibly field or one of the wing backs.

If we play with out strikers we can get a win😂

Likewise, it was a huge night to get a win even before we went down to 10 men. To get a win in those circumstances could be a huge moment.

It's so tight too, if teams below win their games in hand there are about 7 teams covered by 3 points from us in 3rd downwards, or something like that.

if we came away from that with a draw i wouldnt have felt as happy as i do today

lets have a brief match report from my time in the rain last night

first of all the team was named and i saw lack of striker so i was a little concerned but hopeful as it had looked like we could play without a striker for a while now

first half we looked comfortable at 1-0 it looked like we would go on and get at least 1 more

then Sanderson for some reason after looking so comfortable and 1 of our best players on the park lost his head i saw it very clear from where i was and i thought "oh no hes used his head there he could be off" and hey presto from that moment i thought were gonna have to hold on here then 2nd half it was all hands on deck

thought all the defenders including both fullbacks worked like trojans i thought hendrick looked very good too throughout

think the next game we will need to play with a striker

when they brought Thomas on i was like "why"? but fair play to hime he created our winner when we had little to offer going forward and i was almost out the door as i was stood up ready to go home drenched thru the light rain


strange thing was i didnt celebrate as im not impressed with our recent form

that was an easy 3 points made so difficult

not convinced we will get much from Blackburn will be happy with a draw
