I reckon he needs to play as strong a side as possible - they've still got a lot to play for and we need to show them, preston and the others up the top end the respect they deserve! I have a sneaking suspicion we'll win this one!
-
We need to end the season on a high, so - hopefully - we can start the new season in the same vein. :boxing:
-
We cant possibly finish the season on a high as last game is at home :facepalm:
-
A good point well made besty - but it's scunny so you never know! Lol!
-
No Copps tonight, is he injured?
COYR
-
Will that be that 3 centre-backs and 3-5-2, or will McCullough play Defensive Mid?
-
I see McCullough as a defensive MF - we miss Keegan so perhaps he can do a similar job.

COYR

-
1,down

Evina has been booked, could a long night for Cedric. And MK have a goal disallowed for offside
COYR

1,down
Not yet
COYR

Goal disallowed.

365 scores app gets ahead of itself.
-
Quiet game then?
-
Looks like it is for us... :chair:
-
Half time 0-0
COYR
-
I would take a hard fought defensive 0-0 tonight, rather than the poor 3-0 from 2 seasons ago.
-
According to bbc we haven't had a single attempt at goal in the first half (on or off target).
-
Zero shots so far........
.........just beat me to it grayx
-
We've had one now
COYR
-
And another - just like buses
COYR
-
On track for 3 clean sheets in a row.
-
shhhhhh, dont say things like that.
-
The Rob Jones effect.
-
On track for 3 clean sheets in a row.
...with Rob Jones playing in all of them, coincidence?
-
1 down.
-
Sh*t - how unlucky was that
Just seen it on Sky Sports
-
Poxy f**king t**ts!
-
My bad.
-
Aye, probably to be expected. Still, it's not over yet... :boxing: :chair:
-

Oh Yes it is (Reverse Psychology ;) )
-
Goal headed away by Lund, smacks their striker in the face and goes in via the bar
COYR
-
Looks like the stage is set for Saunders to go down on goal difference... Think they'll probably squeak through, but he is a relegation specialist.
-
DonnyO, i did say sshhhh didnt i mate.
-
Doesn't really look like we're in it, tbf... And we're not anymore...
-
Bugger 2-0
COYR

3-0
COYR
-
Is it over yet? :pinch:
-
Big job in the summer looms, methinks. Top eight budget and we're going to end up mid-table... Oh well, most of expected as much. :scarf:
-
Is it over yet? :pinch:
No, we have got to score 4 goals yet.
-
Top eight budget doesn't guarantee a top 8 finish if the performances are too often below par.
-
Fcuking embarrassing....
-
Gutless performance in the end here.
-
Qpr have 8th biggest wage bill in prem
-
Fcuking embarrassing....
What is? Holding on for over an hour against a decent team going for automatic promotion?
-
Just nowhere good enough. Been a poor season. Infact the last for me has taken us back :-(

We can't have success all the time. We're much better where we are now than 30-40 years ago.
Lets look forward to next season.
-
People actually at the game, say we've been unlucky. Better side in the 2nd half until the fluke goal
-
Aye, and it depends how we have had to spend that budget as well... Late buys probably meant more expensive buys.
Looking forward to the summer and pre-season. :scarf:
-

some folks won't accept that though...
-
Looking at the stats, it doesn't look like we were unlucky!!
-
Not sure how that's possible, the statistics look horrendous from tonight. If we only had 3 shots on goal and the opposition 19 not sure how we can count ourselves unlucky
-
Unlucky or not, we had one shot on target.*
*According to the always right BBC...
-
Fcuking embarrassing....
What is? Holding on for over an hour against a decent team going for automatic promotion?
YES.... and how the heads drop as soon as we concede. Or are you happy with a 3-0 defeat? After all poor Dickov did have to deal with a messy pre-season.
-
We came extremely close to scoring 3 times before they did,
-
The first thing PD will have to sort next season is the defence, when we don't have a defensive midfielder or they are taken off we conceed goals. Big job next season to sort out defence and score goals lets hope he is up to it. Let's hope the owners and CEO know what they are doing to progress the club and hold PD to account.

Keeper tipped an effort from Bennett over the bar and did a great save from wellens, so that tells you everything about bbc stats
-

He did. You are correct there. A total mess of a pre season meaning he had to make do, as well as not having a squad to hit the ground running. Glad you made that point :thumbsup:
-

Was a very comfortable win for MK we weren't unlucky.
-
Not sure we can keep mentioning the pre-season. Plenty of managers take over sides part-way through a season and make a difference. And he's been allowed to bring players in/been amply supported by the Board.
Still, he's got everything lined up nicely this time around, so we shall see...
Dickos - I was being a little sarcastic there. I know the BBC is never knowingly right.
-
Another second half disaster. We just couldn't compete after their first. As is often the case. Dickov has to go. We go one down and nine times out of ten you know which way it will go.

Er no, but it is realistic. We are petering out after an inconsistent season. Getting beaten by the side going for promotion is no surprise.
"f**king embarrassing" is extreme however - embarrassing if we were the team going for promotion getting beat by 3...
-
I know lipsy, didn't see your footnote
-
Although 3-0 sounds really bad, the radio lads didnt put it over like that.
We could have gone in front before their lucky first goal and we did have some young lads on the pitch at the end.
Some were predicting a hammering tonight but we very nearly got a draw (yes i know it was 3-0 but if we had got in front it would have been different).
-
Sense at last

That's how I see it. That first goal was incredibly lucky, and changed the match. Good experience for Lund and Whitehouse, and don't forget Jones and Evina haven't had much football recently.
-
Sense at last
The sense of it we are in the bottom half of the table. We conceed goals when we try and go to offensive and have done all season. We don't score enough goals at home and have done all season. The preseason is to blame some/ a lot say. Well he has got another one, will the owners give him a budget so we can sign players quickly. Let's not forget whether we like it or not players sign contracts for the best possible deals and their agents hunt round to get them one.
PD says he is looking for experienced players with aggression, if they are any good they cost money. Will the owners allow signings like these quickly.
Will the preseason go on and on again or will PD get his players.
Will PD be able to develop the young talent we have again we will have to wait and see.
So it's over to PD and the owners to give us a squad that WILL be in the top six all season if they don't want or can not only preseason will tell us. Will there be more excuses which supporters will jump on to say we did not have a good preseason?
