QPR - Nottingham Forest

qpr to me looked like the worst team we played all season

:D it's raining. Get a delivery instead.

Just seen that the game's being shown on the 'Sky Sports Action' channel meaning I can record it, avoid the score in the restaurant and watch back when I get in. Only thing is I'll have to listen to the 3rd rate sky commentators instead of hearing Fray & Hodge's informed comments. Bloody hate sky commentators giving chapter & verse on us when in fact they're ignorant on us. At the start of the season pretty much all of their pundits wrote us off, wrote Lamouchi off and had no clue how well we'd perform this season.

well, the commentator on the Forest v Derby, whoever he was, i think was actually very good, he genuinely seemed to be enjoying the game and had lots of depth of knowledge, i guess it doesn't really matter when we are playing well and ultimately winning but got to say that fella on sky was good, don't know his name but possibly better than Mr Fray, certainly a refreshing change.  Genuinely good commentators seem to be a rare breed.

So I got to see the game on Sky later on in the evening after the family bash. As expected the commentary was excruciatingly poor. No information on the formation, the fact that Forest were missing a midfielder and so playing slightly differently. They were having a go at Samba suggesting he was a dodgy keeper. It was painful to listen to. It took me about 70 minutes to place the voice of the co-commentator  - since when has celebrity chef Tom Kerridge been commentating on football?.

Ha it was Craig Bellamy wasn’t it? Yeah it was terrible kept getting names wrong and clearly new next to nothing about either team

It was Danny Gabbidon who was the Co-commentator. Shocking!

i don't think QPR were as bad as everyone is making out, they forced at least 3 good saves out of Brice, and that bullet header and a few other near misses, they are accused of being slow in the build up but they did move it quick at times and over hit a few cross field balls when in promising positions.
Put it like this the Forest team gave everything and sort of had to, ended up being an emphatic win against the 10 men.
Forest started quite well and the high press was causing problems from the 1st minute, confidence was high as a result and started to seem like a matter of time until we scored.
The foundation for the win as with most of the wins is the work rate and commitment when we don't have the ball.
The subtle changes to formation at the start was probably enough to undermine alot of QPR's preparation and instantly made them jittery.
Defensively we are unflappable.
This was the perfect away fixture and type of set up to face, a team that overplays it at the back and trys to play through teams.
But it was a tough game in that everyone needed to give everything to ensure the win.
I think QPR are capable of taking points off other teams around us and have some good players and probably capable of scoring a few goals but i'd sort of agree that i wish we could play that type of team every week.

yeah they really should’ve scored about 5 mins before our second, free header was a great chance. They created some chances but were very open and didn’t look that threatening really. That was before the red card too!

I. E. They were a typical Warburton team. Create chances but concede even more. 

It's so refreshing to have a manager who seems to have multiple match strategies. Hope we can keep hold of him

Exactly! Ex QPR defender

I thought Silva and Watson were tremendous last night.

Great interception from Watson which led to the second goal.

Watson was fantastic and Silva is turning into some player.

Amen to that.   :cool:
