Roberts starts up front, Dykes on the bench. Balogunin for Dickie. Iroegbunam also starts.

Fantastic result , chuffed to bits. Well done Rangers, great result MB Let’s put another shift in against Stoke before the break and at least go into the break with a point.
Only two teams seem to be pulling away at the minute Sheff and Norwich .

Looking at the WBA score, looking like Mr Bruce might be out of work tomorrow joining the Huddersfield boss.

Looking at the WBA score, looking like Mr Bruce might be out of work tomorrow joining the Huddersfield boss. I would think so. However, great result tonight and a most pleasing clean sheet too. Happy days.

I really enjoyed that, we played some great football and our second goal was just rude!

I only managed to see the highlights but Roberts seemed to have more ball control and ability facing the opposition defence and willingness to run at them that anything Dykes has ever shown.
They are different types of player but I hope Roberts gets a run now. Pity he missed the first half header but it came to him off the keeper so quickly he hardly had a chance to react and I doubt Dykes would have either.
From what I saw Tim I. should be a regular and Balogun added that cool head and experience we have been missing in defence. When all the CB's are fit it is going to be a tough job selecting the defence. Our fall backs look a big step up from last season , we have 3 if not 4 young CB's with bright futures and the old head we need to settle the defence. Not a bad situation to be in with a squad that has quality and cover for practically every position.
Now for Stoke - the sort of banana skin that we trip up on too often but a win and we can go into the international break looking upwards.

Great win, but is the first time I have seen the team revert to the shithousery that is so prevalent in today’s game. Suppose it is something we have to accept in today’s modern game and as we have been on the receiving side of it, guess it something we have to get used to.

Roberts was miles better than Dykes. Troubled the whole Millwall back four and ran the channel's. Fullbacks were superb, Pal is turning into a great signing. Tim is going to be a hell of a player, he has everything. He will make the odd mistake but he is still so young and learning. Johansen is a great player to learn from and seems to have a new lease of life. I like the fact that we were not afraid to go long on a few occasions, you can't play out all the time. I suppose it helps if you actually have a target. All in all a very satisfying night,beating them after having to sit through that nightmare last season. Even the clown was positive😂

"Pub defending...a striker short," familiar words? But these are from a Millwall fan!
Bad language warning.

I’m blaming my limited American vocabulary here…. But I got to know what this means. I love it already, regardless of definition, but I still must know 😂 Shithousery Shithousery was first introduced to QPR by Alex Neil and his Preston North End team. Preston went on to win countless awards for being masters of the dark art, but many teams, especially when playing away from home, are now able to embrace this approach that now outranks football as a skill. It helps, but not essential, if the away team can set up with 12 men behind the ball (including the ref) and then grab the first goal. At this point, shithousery is triggered with the logistical precision of Synchronized Swimming. It starts with an exaggerated celebration of the goal that leads to temporary amnesia about which way you are kicking. The return to your own half may need to be delayed for a discussion and further celebration with the bench. Injuries cannot just happen, they need to be coordinated, rotated and always exaggerated. A nasty ankle injury, will spread quickly to the head and the referee needs to be made aware so that the game can be stopped. N.B. it is ok to receive treatment for the ankle at the same time as checking for concussion. It helps if the player can remain motionless on the ground for a while before sprinting back when waved back on by the official. Cramp is a career threatening injury and needs fellow players as well as trainers to stretch the muscles. It is important that any treatment for cramp is carried out ON the pitch and not on the sideline. Players should roll onto the field of play if in any doubt. Substitution should be made at times to defuse any pressure that may be mounting (similar to lengthy injuries). It is important that the player to be substituted should be as far away from the bench as possible and deaf. Once informed, it is essential that he visits all away fans, claps them and then pretends to trot off, when in reality moving even slower than walking. Any thought of leaving the pitch from the nearest point should be actively discouraged by the officials. Injury time substitutions are essential. It is important to wait for the board and for the groan from the home fans before running the clock down with substitutions, because that way, the officials can be reminded easily how the time has expired. Officials must be helped at all times. They need as much support from the visiting team as possible. This art was implemented by Wayne Rooney who could replace the ref in any given game. The ref needs to be spoken to through-out, pressurized and have any bias removed. There is an art to not returning a ball or kicking it away and not getting booked – there are so many deaf players in the Championship that it is surprising it does not happen more. It is a proven fact that hearing improves when you are losing, so officials make allowances. Goalkeepers must play their part, moving goal kicks from side to side, misplacing the ball (it was behind him!) and having three attempts at taking the kick. Official need to help the keeper by warning him a minimum of six times before finally booking him in the 94th minute - to teach him a lesson! It is important that officials play their big part next. Blackpool performed superbly against us a few weeks ago. Able to execute every element of shithousery to perfection. The 4th official proudly displayed the four-minute board to congratulate them on their skills. Against Millwall when we tried this, the official played ten minutes extra – we are clearly not as good at it as Blackpool were because officials are always consistent. Shithousery should not be confused with Pullis-ball. Tony Pullis in his Stoke days had sole rights to Pullis-ball. This is the art of boring the opposition players and supporters until they just don’t care anymore. When watching Pullis-ball one can ponder all sorts or worldly events without giving the football a thought. Shithousery irritates enormously, whereas with Pullis-ball you just lose the will to live. As Preston (or whoever) record their one-nil victory they have to celebrate in front of their jubilant fans who have been treated to a wonderful display of this great art form. They have travelled hundreds of miles to witness a faultless performance once again. This weekend we have Alex Neil and his Stoke side. If Soike score first........

I am going along today as ever, just hope that it is not to watch shithousery! Meanwhile, Watford fans very unhappy after their team failed to show up at Blackburn in their last game. Manager already under pressure. But is it a coincidence that teams fail to show up at Blackburn - I know we didn't show up! Lots of Sunderland fans around here this morning. Watford need a result today.
