Pre-Season

anyone watching the Staines game?  A young team playing but passing it around nicely, Wheeler looking good and some nice touches and a well taken goal, Cousins is not impressing me, Osayi Samuel showing pace and ability but the one to watch out for is Charlie Owens some great defending and passing and control.  Sylla needs to learn to shoot rather than look for a pass.

Lumley hasn't had anything to do yet

Given the opposition haven't done much we are 5 mil up at half time and looking far superior.

One of the strongest line up we can must starting at AFC Wimbledon    

If only Hall hadn't had all of these problems!

He was first name on the team sheet, that is a big loss for any team to have such a key man out for so long.

I have my reservations if he will come back at the same level. It feels like they haven't been able to ever solve good issue. Imagine he will come back and just get injured again.

Pretty much as might expect. Osayi-Samuel in there to provide extra width I suspect. A lot of attackers on the subs bench so guessing there will be changes at half time.
COYRs!

15 mins: Chances at both ends and pretty equal.

17 mins: Eze down the inside left line and crosses to Osayi-Samiel who, in a crowded box, somehow gets time to put it onto his left foot and shoot low and left - GOAL! 1-0

29 mins: Freeman corner from the left, second attempt, reaches Smith who shrugs off defender to head home - GOAL!   2-0

Totally agree - what great supporters! Both teams are at the same level of progress but indeed QPR are the better side. 50 mins onwards FC Union Berlin have started replacing players.


58 mins: Eze tries to work his way from outside the penalty area and is fouled within = PENALTY! Eze takes it and shoots into the top left!! 3-0
FC Union supporters now singing 'Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life' - fantastic!

64 mins: Manning on for Osayi-Samuel. Assume to strengthen midfield as winning?

72 mins: Cousins on for Luongo 3-0

75 mins: Smyth on for Scowen; Kakay off for Baptiste

80 mins: Smith off for Washington 3-0

85 mins: QPR's provider has obviously decided we have seen enough and closed down the broadcast! What w*nkers!!

Today was such a welcome change from my last visits to Loftus Road - we played with a purpose, attacked well and defended superbly. Bright looked keen to run to everything he could and has done enough today to force his way in to the side next weekend in my opinion. Good finish for his goal as well.

I don’t think I’ve enjoyed (or looked forward to) a visit to Loftus Road for a game as much as I have done today in years, and a great game too. The Berlin fans though were absolutely ridiculous, they didn’t shut up once. Hearing them singing ‘Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life’ at 3-0 as well as belting out ‘Pigbag’ just after the second goal too was brilliant, a class bunch

Also today was my 3rd QPR pre-season game this summer, with 3 wins, 11 goals scored and 0 conceded
