Yes it can be dangerous, I got charged in the back at Norwich once, trouble was I was still in the seating aisle and nearly broke both my bloody ankles as they got stuck under the seat in front
Holy sh*t. :shock: Ouch. Could feel the pain reading that. That would’ve been a wheelchair job for a few months.
I'm sure you have some war wounds to tell us Marko 🤣

Think it might be Williams at l/b, Ball at r/b with Humphries in midfield. Could be wrong though and Humphries plays l/b.

Not much in attacking terms on the bench. Hopefully it won’t be needed.

Youngster but if I'm honest I don’t know what position be players. Probably a forward role?

I make that 7 changes from the team that started against Leicester on Boxing Day with Clarke, Davis, Morsy, Taylor, Burns, Harbess and Hirst making way for Ball, Williams, Luongo, Humphrey’s, Hutchinson, Broadhead & Ladapo. I just wonder if that’s too many but I hope I’m wrong.

It will certainly confuse any pre match preparation the QPR management team have put in place.

It would appear a few injuries, Davis calf, Clarke achilles and Burns unavailable due illness with a virus in the camp. Hirst and Morsy were already known absentees.

To make things worse we’ve now lost Broadhead in the warm up.

Replaced by Marcus Harness.

COYB’s … Good Luck boys 🍀🤞🍀

Lucky escape on 30 mins could easily have been 1 down. We’re allowing them far too much space and far too much of the ball.

Unless McKenna changes something at half time we’re in danger of gifting this away.

Not too many options on the bench either which is a worry.

I certainly think we’ll be the happier of the two teams going in level at half time.

What a load of crap that was. Ladapo proves why he don't start. Williams is awful. Everything is so slow and we could be behind awful 1st half. 🤪
