I actually thought he was pretty good the other night.

Strong argument he should've given a free kick against us in the build up to the goal too, I thought he was fine too.

Colin Fray has a really dim view of Stroud reffing games affecting Bournemouth. He had a rant about him before kick off. If he thinks its not on then Im happy to say neither do I. He made the point that if there was a contentious decision made by Stroud, which proves to be advantageous to Bournemouth, then the EFL are in a difficult position. I think Fray was just getting the message out there. Everyone pulling together now, even our journo's.

Im not for one second saying I think Stroud is a good ref although he was decent for our last game. He has made some baffling decisions in the past. But does it affect it that he lives in Bournemouth when he has declared to the EFL he is a Luton fan? I have lived in both Leicester and Derby. Did that mean I ever wanted either of those teams to win a football game? I don’t think so.
In summary I agree some refs are crap but I honestly dont think any are biased.

If he's a self-proclaimed Luton fan then surely he shouldn't be refereeing any games in the same division that they're in full stop? Or at least none that can influence Luton's league position.

Another club gone and nothing achieved. Fine margins though.

Looks as if Mowbray will be leaving Blackburn too.

QPR v Sheff U tonight. Do we want QPR to win to keep Blackburn and Millwall in touch? I guess so, although also allows Boro the chance to steal 6th which would obviously be the nightmare playoff draw

You're right, good positive thinking! Draw is also fine

We really need Blackburn and Millwall in with a sniff of a chance of the play offs as Bournemouth play Blackburn tomorrow and Millwall next Saturday.

We may need a little bit of help off those two sides to make our life smoother.

You never know, Laryea may be a surprise package if Spence has to sit out the play off semi's, should we have to play them.

Also very reasonable chance Boro don't win both their last two games. They're not a great side.

I was overthrowing it. Come on QPR!
