Sixer’s Sevens: QPR get one against 10 men as we unbolt the trapdoor ourselves

Jake: ‘it’s not always pretty’

Could we have got something from this game? I thought so, but Bob Chapman’s report will give a more accurate picture than the SAFC website and that won’t arrive until tomorrow.

Bob will be reporting in the Place of  Pete Sixsmith, who decided against a trip to Loftus Road. Even so, it was Pete who forwarded the seven-word text that summed up a dismal day.

  1. On a more personal level, £32 for a seat and then have to stand for 2 hours because the view is crap. My hips and knees are shot to bits today. You need to address this QPR.

  2. Why wait until 5 minutes remain and with the game lost (and it should have been won against a poor QPR team) before having a go? Coleman’s reason (excuse) for taking Asoro off doesn’t wash and signalled the end of any attacking intent. Coleman is skating on extremely thin ice and the support is beginning to turn against him. His record is as poor as Graysons. Cattermole was abysmal today and must surely be shipped out in the summer. Directions to Southend and Oxford would be appreciated.
