Very well written and factual post. Tend to agree with most of it. Completely agree with the incompetence of selling dykes on the cheap. I think many fans on here that couldn't give a toss and were rather pleased with that deal would certainly have regrets with that mindset. It was definitely a roll of a dice that has certainly backfired and I think Nourry has to take responsibility for that decision. We've been lucky that Frey has massively improved this season, imagine the sorry state we'd be in if that hadn't happened. With regards to dembele don't get me wrong I really like the lad. I do think it's far to early to class him as a decent replacement for willock. I think when Marti came in and only made a few obvious common sense tweeks Willock was a huge factor in our turn around. Dembele certainly has the attributes to become a very good player but as we know the way chair and willock understood each others game inside out I think we're going to lack that understanding on the pitch. The team is certainly playing like they've never met. -
That line up is pretty much what I would choose. Problem is I would expect the better teams in this league to turn us over without breaking a sweat. We need to start getting three points against bottom half teams on a regular basis to recover ourselves.
Whilst he had his limitations still can't believe we let Dykes go for next to nothing and left ourselves with two first team strikers with next to no experience of this league or country. Criminal incompetence.
Best we can hope for is Marti does a reset to last season, makes us solid again with a view to looking to nick narrow wins and draws more often than not. We have same back line save for Nardi who seems decent enough. Chair now back and will hopefully get up to speed relatively quickly, Dembele decent replacement for Willock and have others. Varane starting to look better after an uncertain start. No reason we can't do it but need to actually do it, stop the tippy tappy and if players are taking a while to settle in then limit their playing time until they do and if any are genuine duds then take it on the chin.Leave a comment:

Celar doesn't deserve to start. He can't play up from on his own. Too lightweight. We can all see it. Always on his heels too. Wasted good money on a guy that doesn't suit our style. We need an ugbo/adebayo type player not a stand still and then when it comes to me I can't get hold of the ball type. Another conor washing line!!! CrapLeave a comment:

Burnley Match Thread
fighting to survive in the Championship, Queens Park Rangers may now be without not one but two players in a tough test against promotion contenders Burnley this weekend.
Think that will be a score draw.
