Reminds me of that "Fry and Laurie" sketch. "But you take your son to see "The Phantom of the Opera" every year on his birthday." "I do that because I hate him."
Lcfcwigstonblue Posted 7 January Posted 7 January (edited) Literally only going to help my youngest get his points up. me and my eldest son have season tickets. I have encouraged some parents from my lads football team to get tickets, If they didn’t already hate me, wait until Saturday at 4pm. Edited 7 January by Lcfcwigstonblue 1

I think they'd me more focused on Palace tbh. It's just another game to them. If a couple of important first teamers got injured would you in retrospect think it was worth it for perceived momentum purposes? The only good confidence building momentum available to me is by beating your counterparts around you in the Premiership! Yes winning is a habit, the same as losing regardless of the opposition. I think we should play a full strength team and beat QPR so we've got some positive form going into the Palace game. We can hopefully makes changes and bring on a few prospects when we're comfortably winning in the 2nd half. 1

Just my opinion but the 'winning is a habit' diatribe is merely more supporter media rhetoric. If I was a professional footballer I don't think wins again Grimsby Town, Barnsley or QPR would be the motivation I needed to beat Liverpool or Chelsea the next week. However, a Premiership win against Crystal Palace and Fulham might just give me the confidence to have a good go against Tottenham?

Scanchez Posted 8 January Posted 8 January Just noticed that 8 out of our next 9 matches are against London clubs. Bit odd.

Trav Le Bleu Posted 8 January Posted 8 January Is cup worth it now? When league status is not sure. Field team of youngsters.
fazzyfox Posted 8 January Posted 8 January I think we'll field a side of non-regulars, on paper man for man it will look stronger than QPR's side but the relevant factor could be the QPR players play alongside each other week in week out, have an understanding and established partnerships whereas our lot will act like they've never met, like the first half v Birmingham last season until Albrighton came on and steadied / improved us. With the new-ish manager there are opportunities for players to come in and impress and stake a claim for further opportunities but I'd rather it was just a couple (Alves / Wormleighton) surrounded by an otherwise "normal" starting line up to see how they fit rather than a group of players who individually can offer something but collectively don't have the character and spark of the better regular starters or any cohesion. Prediction 1-2 (Daka)

Weller Wing Posted 8 January Posted 8 January (edited) I wouldn't play Ward as he'd then be cup-tied and it might scupper a big money January transfer Edited 8 January by Weller Wing 3
Ryy Posted 8 January Posted 8 January Only really spotted Cartwright and Wilson-Brown who will probably be involved on the bench

Ric Flair Posted 8 January Posted 8 January 1 hour ago, Ryy said: Only really spotted Cartwright and Wilson-Brown who will probably be involved on the bench This was from Monday by the looks of it so it could change later in the week. We'll know on Friday as the U21s are playing. Be very disappointing if one of Monga or Evans aren't in the squad, we've only 1 left winger and on the right it's not exactly a solid choice. 3
markko Posted 8 January Posted 8 January Give Alves some decent minutes. Let's see what the kid can do. We must have some players who are knocking on the door. Let's blood them..other teams do.it.

Unusually, there are seven London clubs currently in the PremierLeague. No teams from the mill towns, no Yorkshire representation. When was the last time there were only 5 northern teams in the league? It's all been levelled up 1
