QPR 0 Doyley 1 reaction

Can't believe it. I was all set to go, but ended up getting stuck at work until about 8ish and only just made it home to see Doyley score on TV.

We were excellent all over the park. Passing was incisive and controlled, we kept the ball very well and created plenty of opportunities. Eustace was excellent and looks a totally different player now. Cleverly is unbelievable. Absolutely ran the show. Cowie was also excellent. Hodson looks like a really class player in the making, performing well beyond what you'd expect of an 18 year old.

I'm starting to really like this Watford team.

 

:sign15:i was also in a pub with a few others but will get a ticket for sat game as im still buzzing from last night

 

I have another thing to bring up - the referee. Seemed top class to me. Maybe got the Stewart red card decision wrong but that was really down to the lino and to be fair he played some good advantages throughout the game. Got the vast majority of decisions spot on on a tricky surface to call fouls on.

 

Agreed. Not sure there was any intent in that tackle, strictly speaking should have been red but I think it was a good natured game on the whole and he used discretion?

Can we have him for all our matches?

 

Don't you mean

"taykaboo_sun, taykaboo"

 

I have to disagree. i felt he let Stewart and Hall get away with too much. I did like however that when there was a foul, he would let us try and play on, and if we lost the ball he would give us a freekick.

 

Thanks. Wow those goals look different to how I remember them...superb header by Lloyd, great the way he stormed into the box

 

His run into the box shows real intelligence - look at how he stays onside and keeps his eye on the ball all the way through. Also a good bit that he actually kicked off the move by passing to Harley and running into position...

 

a pity he cant work out the offside as well when it comes to defending

 

dont get too used to it , it`s nearly january...

 

I'm so glad i went. I can stop worrying about missing doyley's first goal

 

and why Leighton ? the only ones i can see moving out are loach, demerit and HH As we all know

 

And that isnt enough to worry you !??!?

 

HH yes but expected. And we showed Monday we can cope.

Loach - not really. I feel Lee is as good and with the cash Loach can generate selling him is the obvious thing to do.

Demerit - has to go. If anyone ever had to be sold it's Jay. Not that I dislike him or anything but he is into his last 6 months and can sign for anyone for free after the world cup. Also he is on high wages. Jay MUST be sold or we'll get fark all. I'd rater play with Cathcart/Bennett/Oshodi/Severin alongside Mariappa than keep Jay.

We'll still be fine without those 3. I worry more above 221209 than 010110.

 

Out of those, we'd only miss HH and he's not our player anyway.

For me, the key players in our side are Graham, Cleverly, Lansbury and Cowie. That's not to diminish the contribution of Hodson, Eustace or Doyley, but I think the first 4 are the only ones we really can't replace.

If Lansbury and Cleverly are on loan to the end of the seaon, we can get a striker on loan to support Graham/Henderson, Lee goes back in sticks and we play Bennet or Oshodi (neither can be more error prone than Dustcart) we'll be safe this season.

Our squad is thin, but it's enough to get us to safety.

 

I think we can survive without Jay, have been doing so for the last few weeks but we will need a squad filler replacement to cover injury.

HH He's scored a couple of goals, would be brilliant to keep him but again we coped whilst he was out.

Loach is the only worry. Lee is a better keeper than a lot of people give him credit for but he is not up to Loach's quality and that has been the difference maker. It's likely that it will be a loan back deal so immediate concerns are solved but we will need to replace.

 

Love this

 

Random bumping of old threads.

 

Just got back from the match. What a ******* great night, so pleased with Lloydinho for breaking his duck. Mad scenes in the Lower Rous when that went in.

On another note, I wish people would lay off of Cathcart, he may have been at fault for their goal, but give it a few years and that guy will be the first defender on the teamsheet in the Premier League. You heard it here first.

 

Yeah but could you imagine if we ever got some decent owners. Got in some class players from all over the world, established ourselves in the premier league and redeveloped Vic road into a first class stadium. Yeah I know.. Dream on!

 

I like what you're smoking.
Where can I get some?

Back to reality, really happy for Lloyd if only he knew how to celebrate a goal
If only we could afford to buy players like Cleverley instead of begging top clubs for loanees.
And will Cathcart ever make it - he's got potential but he could be injury prone.
Malky' s got us playing some good football and we should be safe this season at least - but who's the next player we have to sell to balance the books?

 

I can see Sordell going. We’ll probably replace him with someone from the third tier, God knows what he’ll be like.

 

Yeah like that clogger from Walsall.. Beeney or something.

 

Not sure we can afford him. He’s scored a few. Maybe Jimmy will have to speak to uncle Elton!

 

Beeney? Lovely jugs, sexy voice, quite the striker for me.

 

The forum and it's members were so happy and innocent back in 2009.

 

Look how far we'd go!
