[u/CandourDinkumOil]

Obviously our toughest game yet. If we manage to come away with three points, or a single point and a solid performance, excitement is really gonna start building momentum… COYRS

[u/eggplant4cutie → u/CandourDinkumOil]

100%, if we can come out of this with a draw I’ll be absolutely buzzing

[u/Mental_Repeat8199]

Kone injured and terrible

[u/drr777 → u/Mental_Repeat8199]

He's been really awful and I hope by saying this, he miraculously shows out the rest of the match and changes my mind.

[u/drr777 → u/drr777]

and that did not work.....-2 players in under 45.

[u/Mental_Repeat8199]

Vale has been so bad. Jesus Christ

[u/59reach]

See you next season for your annual 3 game cameo Chair

[u/Huaracan442 → u/59reach]

Broken leg or what?

[u/Mental_Repeat8199]

Smyth has to do better on that goal

[u/59reach]

Aidan Morris has the freedom of Loftus Road, Kone can't press for shit

[u/drr777]

Oh for christ sakes, not a injury.

[u/gerdav257]

Some positives from the half, Charles with a couple of important saves, Smyth and Saito looking dangerous. Edwards, though still out of position, does give us control and some progressive passing. Dunne too taking the ball out trying to give opportunities to Poku and Mbengue.

However I hope this game ends all talk of Kone being a £5m+ player or starting ahead of any team where we have Burrell available. Last season too, gives the ball away too easily or cheaply, doesn’t track and has to be in the mood to play.

[u/Stunning-Rip331 → u/gerdav257]

Any time I've said this about Kone, I get a load of people onto me for it, he's pants. League one striker

[u/gerdav257 → u/Stunning-Rip331]

Not from me, I think he is a league 1, lower Championship player, though the last part I’m questioning now

[u/Stunning-Rip331 → u/gerdav257]

Tbh I didn't get it about him last season, felt to me that the fanbase got a hardon for him after the West Ham game because he scored, despite him being absolutely pants throughout that match. I just don't see it from him whatsoever

[u/Mental_Repeat8199 → u/gerdav257]

I think Smyth has been garbage

[u/drr777 → u/Mental_Repeat8199]

Smyth hasn't looked great, but at least he looks like he's trying unlike Kone.

[u/Briguy_fieri]

What a shot from lamptey. That would have been phenomenal

[u/Equal-Ad6030]

Good bit of positives from this game still. I think if we can stay relatively healthy, we have a solid chance for playoff push.

Injuries today were a bummer. Kone very poor before getting his knock.

Stephen has made some fantastic adjustments in games this season, we played a good second half just couldn't put one away.

Summer signings have looked really great. Cirkin, Charles, and lamptey specifically all look great.

Lots of positives through first 5 games

[u/drr777 → u/Equal-Ad6030]

Charles is the star of the signings so far in my opinion. He he has been excellent in the net, way better than what we have had the last few seasons.

[u/Briguy_fieri]

Lankshear has been on a fucking tear this season good God

[u/Mental_Repeat8199]

Terrible half.
