Harris doing the wankatollah?

 

[Pacemaker]

That goal by Dembele highlighted the one thing we no longer have, a winger who runs directly at goal and shoots.

For years we have had wingers who were just quick and go for the shot, we are desperate for someone to fill that gap in the squad.

Great game today. Enjoyed it. And always lovely to have a sea of QPR shirts in the local supermarket when we’ve just beaten them.

Weirdly, I’m not sure whether today makes more or less of a case for Sheehan. It’s great to win but there’s no getting away from the point that someone (maybe Monnie?) made earlier in the week that we don’t really have a defined style at the moment. So it will be hard to progress on. That may be just due to players, it may be Sheehan.
Not sure today helps the owners make a decision.

I do like the high press though. Eom is fantastic at it. The weaker link is Vipotnik as he doesn’t have the pace for it.

Anyway - glad it’s not my decision. Whatever happens it will be understandable.

We do have a lot of gaps in the squad and we have to applaud Sheehan for transforming the results and individual form of the players.

We have no striker who can high press and be a regular goal scorer. We have no midfield that would resemble next season with all but Franco being here and fit enough for another campaign.

Fair amount of deadwood to move on and replacing Darling if he leaves

So whoever is in charge will have a decent amount of rebuilding to do so does this favour the swede?

 

[Blackpooljack]

Anyone else notice how well we retain possesion from throw ins these days, huge improvement.

I would argue that until very recently we haven't had a defined style since Cooper was here.

Unless of course anyone counts having 70% of the ball yet conceding loads of goals and losing loads of matches as a "defined style".

I think we have to consider that as a defined style and the primary reason that we've been so horrible to watch since 2021.

The footballing equivalent of painting by numbers, implemented by managers recruited on the back of their PowerPoint slides. We’ve wasted a few seasons and countless millions of pounds.
