Just back

[Gareth Nicholson]

Is there one yet? Oooh, do I get to start it?

- woeful levels of organisation from QPR. Good turnout from the GA though

- first half very encouraging. Kept the ball well, Peterlin and Summers impressing and DJ back to his old routine of being in the right place all the time.

- Fallon won 80% of headers in the first half and 8% in the second. Still fairly effective though, although still not enough crosses into the box.

- Baz looked very good at left mid, and Molyneaux tried to overlap a few ties as well. Wouldn't mind LM as a backup left back on that showing.

- Timar looks as fit as the proverbial butcher's dog.

- MacLean played OK in the hole. Some really good touches and he is right up there as the most thoughtful player in the team.

- Second half was scrappy and QPR had more chances. Arnason looked way out of position for their goal. Mackie, who scored it, didn't do a whole lot.

- The Irish keeper (sorry, couple of ciders and have forgotten his name) looks very good. Commanding.

- Rory Patterson. Hm, I'll reserve judgement. He looked a few yards off the pace tonight though. Needs games and fitness.

- Couple of cockneys having a bit of 'banter' with pushing and shoving included in the second half. Keith Curle looked bemused.

- Moment of the match: ball runs away to the byline and QPR left back shouts 'i'm not f****** running to get that'. Schoolboy stuff.

Just back also.

Some good stuff first half. Bhasera played well, great energy. Summerfield looked good ... Peterlin looks decent enough, a good team player but very similar to our other central midfield players and lacking a bit physically.

Timar looks solid as does Arnason. Molyneux ... so so, nothing great. Zubar didn't really do anything, but I like the look of Laurent Manuel albeit he barely touched the ball. Looks skillful and pacy. Bondz N'Gala is a beast!! You can see the determination in his eyes .. I like him. MacLean and Fallon did well enough with what they had .. Patterson has the build of a rugby player! Clark and Duguid second half .. you know what that means, a rather boring 2nd half.

Good laugh with the (harmless) QPR fan in the Argyle end who was clearly pissed out his head ... but some idiots also in the Argyle end ala the people who started on him, degenerate bar stewards.

Good game, team is looking strong. I would say we need a right back, a midfield player in the centre who is a bit different, and maybe a wide right and/or striker.

Hopefully we can get rid of a couple of our lumberers (Dunoguid/Clark/Paterson)

Also it's amazing how when you're so close to the pitch, you realise that there's not much skill involved in these types of games. Says it all about our national side really.

Gareth a good summary.

Have to take issue with this:

[GoodFella]

Why didnt anyone fill him in?

[jpfc]

Who was the QPR left back that said 'im not f*cking get that'?

[Tinmuff]

Coulsdon Green if you couldnt see what BBC John saw how can you pass judgement on the two so called Argyle fans.I was sat in front of this pillock & he was antagonising from the moment he came in untill he was confronted.The two fellows in question were talking to us throughout the game and one was a QPR fan who couldnt believe he was not asked to leave by the stewards earlier.In the end it was the QPR fan who had just about enough of this so called Rangers fan thst he decided to "have a go" fully backed by some verbals from Agyle fans around us.Hardly the villains you so quickly seem to portray them as.

[Brixton 'ill Pilgrim]

Pretty entertaining game for a fiver.

QPR should probably have scored more, but apart from one effort skied over from inside the 6 yard box, it was mainly down to heroic defending/goalkeeping from Argyle that they didn't. And Fallon missed an absolute sitter for us.

If it had been a competitive fixture i) we wouldn't have made the mass substitutions that took the life out of Argyle somewhat and ii) the penalty incident might also have resulted in a red card given that Maclean was striding through on goal when he was blatantly hacked down by the last man.

So really it was a moral victory for Argyle.

The trialist at right back was all over the place, really didn't have a clue what he was doing. No surprise that he was hauled off at half time. The left back was solid, but not spectacular. The goalkeeper was more impressive and I wouldn't be surprised if we took him on on a longer term basis.

For me, Damien Johnson was our best player. Worked very hard and made a lot of timely interventions. Peterlin was also impressive, as were the starting centre backs.

Maclean did his usual trick of providing lots of stylish dummies and lay-offs around halfway up the pitch that were of virtually no consequence whatsoever. If he was playing as a holding midfielder you'd say he had a good game. To be fair he did get on the ball a lot and won us the penalty as well so this can be considered one of his better performances. Maybe he will come good this season, but I am still sceptical.

All in all though, it left me reasonably optimistic for the coming campaign. I wouldn't expect to see something too different to tonight's starting line up take the field at Southampton in a week's time and I think we'll have a decent chance if they do. COYG

And your response to what BBC John witnessed is still 2 x pathetic men with clenched fists,would'nt want to be near when the chips were down.

So sorry you were subjected to that kind of behaviour on what was 'just a friendly'.The so called Rangers fan was a prat and i'm suprised it took 75 mins or so for anyone to react.I dont Know why he wasnt shown the door by stewards earlier ormaybe like Coulsden Geen they thought hea was having harmless banter with us bumpkins,winker.
