Blackpool v QPR (1 December: Championship Match 18) [R]

[QPR Kevin H]

An interesting team for the R's today - Bolder will play in the back 4 in the place of the injured Mancienne, Timoska and Cranie. Sahar joins Vine up front for the suspended Blackstock.

UURRRRRRs!

[QPR Kevin H]

Commentators taking the piss out of Blackpool while they sing their team song. "They have no sense of irony up here" Ha!

[QPR Kevin H]

Commentators believe that it will be Leigertwood in central defence, not Bolder.

[QPR Kevin H]

Sinclair with a quick shot that the keeper deflects out for a corner. Bright start from the Rs. This team is certainly going to have to get forward and score goals today. I think a clean sheet is doubtful.

Let's go, R's...

Go away Ross - I'm trying to talk to myself here :D

Whoops...

[QPR Kevin H]

Sounds like Blackpool have been slightly the better team as the half goes on. Come on Rs, let's sneak a goal here!

[QPR Kevin H]

A whopping 2 goals in the 3pm Premier League kickoffs. Both in the Wigan-City match. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[QPR Kevin H]

Better possession from Rangers. Buzsaky plays the ball in to Vine, who losses it before he can get off a shot. And that's halftime...

[QPR Kevin H]

Blackpool win it with nearly the last kick of the match, 1-nil :(

[QPR Kevin H]

We'll stay 22nd, but only due to the incompetance of the clubs beneath us. Now three points adrift of Blackpool in 21st. Ugh - this is getting worrying again.

[Atouk]

Crap. One point lost for us is bad enough... two extra points for Blackpool makes it worse. :(

My glass is creeping from half full towards half empty. I thought all we had to do is start hiring a bunch of Italians and everything would suddenly get better:D

I wonder if that is what our new owners were thinking??? At least we know come transfer window time we should see an infusion of new talent. Should be fun watching in the future as we can buy some talent as well as seeing potential stadium developments.

as a chelsea supporter , how are our young boys doing at QPR , one big prospect Ben Sahar in particular?

as a chelsea supporter , how are our young boys doing at QPR , one big prospect Ben Sahar in particular?Ben Sahar has seen little playing time. He is, essentially, behind Dexter Blackstock, Rowan Vine, and Marc Nygaard in the rotation at forward. In some games, he hasn't been on the bench because of the rule limiting the number of loan players a team can have in their named 16. He has started 5 games and been a sub in 3 and has not scored a goal. He scored a nice goal against Fulham in preseason.

Michael Mancienne has been the very good, as he was last year, although he's had to deal with a few injury problems so his form may be a bit off from last season overall. As was the case with Jimmy Smith last season, Mancienne has outshined a 'bigger name' Chelsea-loanee in Sahar. With the injuries, he has started just 11 of our 18 league cames (plus one League Cup game), but is probably our best defender. We hope that we'll be able to buy him from Chelsea either in January or when his loan ends at the end of the season.

Scott Sinclair is going to be very good and we're sorry we'll only have him through December 15th... and that he'll probably play for you against us in the FA Cup game in January. He has already made 5 starts and scored 1 goal in his short loan spell.

thanks heaps thats fantastic , it does seem we will sell mancienne to QPR come january or later but Sahar and Sinclair will hopefully continue to be good for QPR and also be stars for chelsea.
