It's a bit like the Alamo as Burnley launch attack after attack but we're still holding on. Just about every Burnley attack has ended I them getting a corner. Hopefully, we can stay strong
I think they ended up with a dozen corners! Fantastic defending too!! Interesting to note that, for all their possession, Burnley were showing the same number of Shots on Target - none, for most of the half, but finally managed two. We need another half of the same concentration and luck!

20 mins gone and pretty equal. They have largely attacked and we have largely defended.
Cook and Saito shining examples of how to defend! Celar an example of how to be offside...
Celar has been painful to watch. We need him to help relieve pressure and when we get a break he runs offside. He's such a naive player.
True, you cannot help but compare Celar with Frey and he fails in all departments - heading, tackling, chasing, making space, ball control, etc. Frey even runs faster (and after last season I cannot believe I am stating that)!

I think a lot will depend on Marti ensuring he makes the substitutions at the right time. The midfield are doing plenty of chasing and he will need to ensure he replaces the tired ones ASAP.
When it comes to 60 mins who would you change? The only one for me would be Lloyd on for Celar, and that may be a step too far. To be honest, our bench has only Lloyd, Andersen, Morgan and Santos from the outfielders I would consider.
Its so frustrating when you are under pressure and you clear your lines but the front man is standing offside. Celar in the first half and Bennie now. It's school boy stuff.
Few things infuriate me more than the ‘Alfie Lloyd is one of our own’ chant. The bloke played professional football for Yeovil before he’d even signed for us.
And jimjams reported to have had a conversation with a fan on the train and said that he didn’t want to leave and was forced out by CEO. Apparently Martí was told he couldn’t start him. Dykes had also taken a pay cut when signing his last deal, so might explain why so few we get down to contract negotiations with actually sign on again.

Thanks for the clarification... Well re Dykes, is "forced out" too strong, wasn't he just sold? But 100% agree re Kolli, as Armstrong has shown you only need a small opportunity to show yourself and then you can get better offers from other clubs... If QPR want to keep those players they should offer them a decent contract.
If they can't agree a contract I still think you let the player play if he will help your team

That was a great point. Sometimes it is about context - we are decimated by injuries, struggling for confidence and hadn't kept a clean sheet this season.
Nardi didn't have THAT much to do. Burnley were far too similar in their patterns of play.
Huge thanks to Rosco Bosco for his spare ticket, I'm glad I went now!

When you consider we were supposedly paying an over the hill Begovic over £30k/week for some very average goalkeeping it makes no sense not to reward promising younger players who could be the clubs future.
We didn’t win But they battled not to lose against a good team We are in a lot of trouble still though But a shade of optimism maybe has come back after today in the team
