KrolMong Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Deserved it today. Better side, went a bit longer today and picked up the seconds. I thought, despite the miss, Windass was decent, Bannan and Palmer did well. But, Gassama gets MOM today, although I thought Bambo and Smith were good too. Aside from them hitting the bar, they’ve not created a lot. And we’ve had decent possession all day. 7 points from a possible 15 will do it.

Owling_Wolf Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 It's the hope that kills you! 😬 So far: a great trip down, a proper sesh, good company - some of their fans - enjoyable beer, a decent performance and a priceless result.

HoylandOwl Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 That feels HUGE. A proper return after the dire performance on Monday. We defended so well at times today, across the defence, but… A massive round of applause for Diaby who was a colossus today. It was a proper battle of wills between him and Armstrong and in the right spirit, honest, not an ounce of malice from either of them. Just brute strength and determination at times from both of them but Diaby, coming out on top. Gutted about Poveda, might be the last we see of him. Which would be a shame. But Gassama came in and took the attacking mantle admirably. His sheer persistence earned him the goal, and the pass for the second was inch perfect. Hopefully Windass gets rid of his ring rust as that chance will go down in history… 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellsview Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Danny was interviewed on Praise or Grumble a few minutes ago. Thinks it’s possibly a season ending injury for Poveda and when asked about Neymarv, responded along the lines of not wanting to talk about him, it’s about the team today. Sounds like he’s rocked the apple cart after Monday’s game at Middlesbrough. Praised the attitude of the players today and spoke briefly about which players he can rely on and which ones he can’t. Clearly a manager who is not going to have players take the proverbial - and good on him for being like that! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkowl Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Enjoyed that, was surprised at post match stats at the number of shots they had, only one that hit the bar was a concern. How the fuck Windass missed is still a mystery. Genuinely harder to miss than score. Bit stressed work wise this week, so 2 minutes scream therapy at Graham Scott when Bannan was injured just below us helped. He was not happy with Tango in the disabled bit below us giving him close up verbals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkowl Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 The irony of being out and about in London yesterday was there were plenty of Geordies around. I wonder what they would have made of the QPR away end. To note this isn't a whinge, I quite like the place, but it's certainly compact in the concourse. The young uns first visit so its always intriguing to get his observation as he sees football through no knowledge of the past. Given he has been to Charlton (so not dissimilar) but to West Ham and Spurs with his mates (very different) he was OK but a tad unsure in the concourse at the end with the crowding. But he survived without the need to tell everyone on social media of the disregard for health and safety. He also rather enjoys the post match on the train platform Wednesday chanting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say MK I wouldn’t necessarily criticise it, but it is a stadium that highlights some of the inconsistencies in how stadia and safety is handled across the leagues and clubs. Re the game, I felt we would get something, so happy with getting 3points. A real shame about Poveda, he gives us something different to the power and pace of our other forward looking players. I though Smith had a great game yesterday, some good touches and a nuisance to them all day. I expect a slightly different selection on Tuesday with potentially Pol back for Iorfa and may be Pederson for Famewo. Wouldn’t be surprised to find Vaulks to start. A point on Tuesday and a win next weekend would be a very good return for the final few games to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory, Tank, the concourse behind the goal at Notts County is an even smaller version of the one at QPR. I Don't like either, though yesterday was alright. I agree about Smith's performance and about Poveda. I wonder if it's to do with his general lack of football leaving him vulnerable or even the things he tries to do physically. The battle between Diaby & their big 30 was worth watching. Hard, fast and sporting. Above all, what a good day out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reesh Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 (edited) Röhl doesn't suffer fools and after handing MJ a route back to the first team he's been hung out to dry.

Certainly an area to address in future recruitment as much as footballing ability I believe Röhl is a very detailed diligent manager and will assess the characters of the players he is bringing in for a rebuild. What I like is we have a coaching set up with what seems like characters and individuals rather the old boys network Moore had. On that note, what an absolute pleasure it is to see Chris Powells reaction after games and the enjoyment he appears to have in this role. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's right, mate. We keep catching up to the pack and dropping back again. With only 5 games left we MUST break through now. That would have a huge effect on morale, on us and possibly the ones we pass. (And the same in reverse if we don't.) "Do it now." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
