    Norwich keeper was like a worse reincarnation of Kaminski. Didn’t even dive for two of the goals then rushed out for another to make it a really easy chance. Three of out four howlers. 

    Bolton were crap like last week but still pick up back to back wins somehow …

    Wasn't sure what thread to put this in, but i saw that our next opponents Bristol City won 2-0 away at Palace on Saturday. Palace played all of their first team players apart from the ones away on international duty of course.

    Made me wonder why we haven't played any games to keep match fitness/sharpness up.

    NJ said we were going to and Solly hinted at there being a first team game last Friday

    QPR played Fulham behind closed doors but some of the details leaked, I'm guessing most teams in the Championship have done the same

    I thought all the players were exhausted & needed a rest after having played sat / wed / sat / wed / sat  for weeks on end     🤷‍♂️

    A fair point but surely we'd at least have heard something. I get we wouldn't necessarily publicise it pre-match but you'd think post-match something would get out on who we played, final score, who scored etc?

    Took ages for the game against Southend last year to come out, in fact to his credit I think Ronnie Moore first mentioned it. Club are fairly good when it comes to leaks these days so I'm not exactly surprised. The fact two members of staff have said a game was happening is enough for me

    A Bristol City intern on social media  said we played a match at  Sparrows lane so that's good enough for me 👍🏻

    At least it's a level playing field in the Championship, with all teams off for 3 weeks, and the fixture list arranged around the break.

    In L1 and L2, some teams have continued normally, playing 2 league games, whereas others will have had no league games for 3 weeks.

    Some have played as many as 12 matches in all competitions whereas Oxford have had just 7 matches in total in a season that started for them 65 days ago.

    They now have a hectic run of games though, just one midweek off between now and December.

    Plenty of West Ham fans suddenly asking for VAR back after that penalty decision given against them.

    Pierce Charles, all 6 foot 1-3 of him, will be playing EPL next season surely

    He'll be City's goalkeeper next season. In whatever division they are playing in!

    Agree with the sentiment 100% but at the end of the game it also means thanks to generous refereeing, as they also got at the Valley, QPR come away with a point.

    He is such a good keeper, going to the top imo. Fair play to QPR for getting him. I wonder if we looked, I was advocating for him 18 months ago or so.  Absolute bargain.

    Remember all the hamsters saying Bowen should’ve taken the penalty against us, as he would of scored.😂

    Think we might be playing a Watford team with a new manager.

    Currently losing 3-0 at home to Burnley.

    I was looking forward to the Burnley game too...

    Looking at the scores elsewhere,  it's looking like a typical anyone can beat anyone sort of Championship season.

    Peterborough winning 3-0 at Leicester in L1 could have consequences as well...

    Millwall 1-0.

    Looked like we were gonna stay 10th up to that point

    Form guide - last 6 games.

    •  We are the only team not to have won over the last 6 games.

    •  Only Watford have picked up fewer points (3) 

    •  Us, Preston & Cardiff have picked up 4 points. 

    (And these don't change taking into account Pompey & Saints play tomorrow & so their last 6 stats will change).
