    Is there a stat on the amount of 2nd balls won?, it just seems everything drops to the opposition or they are 1st to the ball, it drives me mad at times especially when we play for 2nd ball possession. Just interested to know if the stats tally with what I think I’m seeing.

    Certainly feels that way to me as well. A lot of it might be the fact it is easier to win a second ball when a defender heads it straight to you like ours seems to do regularly.

    Feels like we don’t react as quick or simply predict where the ball might go, always the oppo getting to the 1st, infuriates me.

    Just out of interest, were the QPR supporters held back last night after the final whistle?
    No. Very provocative oiks before and after the game. Mostly young and not very organised but did manage to create a tension in crowded streets that could have sparked.

    Incidentally, someone in a Charlton shirt was flat out in Floyd Road at about 7.55pm with a police cordon around then. Looked like a middle aged chap, or slightly older. Seemed to be moving but possible medical emergency. Lots of police and they were getting a silver heat blanket ready. I didn't want to ask before now so as not to alarm anyone. Hope the guy is ok, obviously.
    I was there went he went down. Pretty sure he just tripped but definitely took a whack on the back of his head on the curb looked dangerous. Anyone know if he's ok??

    It’s especially infuriating when in the final third and we miss an opportunity to keep the pressure on and create another chance.

    Is there a Queens Park Celtic?
    Not if it has Queen in its name!
