Blackburn v QPR 3Feb23 1 - 2 FT 22nd/28pts

we never get anything at blackburn 
very much a bogey team like norwich away 
a draw would be a huge shock 

I thought I saw him trying with the squad on Thursday, but it was at a distance. Looked fit if it was him.

Guys, the podcast was brilliant as usual and Dave's summing up of the Huddersfield game as disappointing was I think very restrained. If he'd added a few expletives before 'disappointing' I'd have totally agreed.

Our issues this season have revolved around our lack of squad quality and even having to play players out of position. Our first eleven aren't the best but as soon as we pick up an injury or a suspension then we don't have the quality of replacement that's needed to compete in the Championship. As a result we are having to thrust youngsters like Armstrong and Kolli into the pressure of a relegation fight and hope their confidence isn't damaged.

Having to throw youngsters into such a poor team cant be good. As we saw with Eze and Chair a season out on loan in the lower leagues was highly benificial and aided their development. Even Smyth benefited from moving down the leagues and is now a much better player than his first spell with us.

it's a good job we don't do these right after a game as the language would be horrific, having a few days to get the swearing out of my system does help :-)

You are right on the squad and that will be an issue again soon when the 3 game weeks start and you have likes of Cook, JCS and Armstrong unable to play all 3 games.

It seems like Blackburn are missing quite a few key players too, which hopefully can give us a slightly better chance!

Jon Dahl Tomasson and he has been there since 2022, so if it is true he is on his way then either he or the club have decided he has taken them as far as he can.

Glad Cannon has made it.

Bench quality has gone up massively.

Willock perhaps lucky to keep his place, lets see how he does.
