Following our great result on Boxing Day the Town travel to Loftus Road tonight for a match against QPR. Our stats against Rangers have not been too good over the years so let's hope for some sort of a positive result. The 6pm kick off is rather unusual so don't forget Bobberman predictions in by 5pm this afternoon. COYH!  |

Trivia: my son's girlfriend used to share a flat right next to the QPR stadium, one could see a small bit of the pitch, the odd boot and bit of football sock through one of the turnstile gates. This was more interesting to son than girlfriend; she has since been to several Luton games and is undergoing football conversion therapy.
Beat that for useless information.

Cornick for Elijah; Elijah on the bench which is good news.
Bell for Osho, obvs.

I'm probably being uncharitable but I don't think we would have got 6 points from those two games under Nathan. There's less sitting back now and a recognition that the difference between a loss and a draw is ONE point. So thanks Southampton.
Man of the Match, haven't a clue. Suppose Morris for 2 goals but Doughty must be worth a shout for making us all relax with a wonderful goal started and finished by himself. Can't fault the midfield or the defence and keeper. I'll make a choice of Lockyer, always in the thick of things and hardly lost a ball, solid as a rock.

Am in a delerious state of disbelief having watched us outplay QPR at their place and score three goals in the process, all perfectly timed and the third, a contender for Goal of the (insert unit of time)
Agree with Liz about Lockyer - short of stature but reads the game so well. And as well as scoring twice, Morris did a great job at times in defence - like so many tonight, he was everywhere.
Assumed we would be under the cosh right from the start of the second half but instead we silenced the home fans. Got a bit concerned when we gave away lots of free kicks and had four players booked, possibly unjustly, but when Dykes’ effort went wide, there was only going to be one winner.
Cue Alfie Doughty- a must watch if you haven’t seen it.
We have done the double over QPR and scored six goals over the two games.
Oh yes!

The team effort closing down players winning second challenges and knockdowns was the key, Pelly playing a more forward position has changed things too.
Ethan in goal made a good save from Chair early on and seems to command his box.
Morris up front with Cornick seemed to work with the absence of the unlucky Elijah. Very promising.👏

Saw a blog on Outlaws with a young man commenting on the game from near the away end,I was very impressed, as he was, with our support.
It's a shame that our home support seems a little flat at times, but understandable with our away fans concentrated in one section when on the road.
I bet BMS would have loved being in the away end rather than having to stifle his joy every time we scored.
I remember a similar situation when in the home end at Cambridge with IKJP the night that Cullen scored the late equaliser, we didn't manage to stifle our emotions but got away with it!
