Yes, it is very, very tight. Rovers form is on the decline and we are without a goal or win in five matches. We play QPR at Ewood today and if we lose I fear our promotion push will be over and wewill slide as Coventry and WBA have done. The teams below us are on good runs and confident, we are the opposite though I've yet to see any fear in our play. We should have beaten Sheffield United on Wednesday night but missing a penalty and conceding in the 92nd minute against ten men is not promotion form. Truth is for all are good approach play we only created two clear cut chances. I can though honestly say we are a far better side than Utd and I can't see how they've put together a decent run to be in the top six, an average side.championship play-off race is soooo tight, realistically anyone from about 12th could still get in there (bar West brom - so out of form and have Steve Bruce at the helm).
Also after last night the Prem relegation battle is now getting interesting with Burnley & NUFC finding some form, leeds, brentford & everton are now looking nervously over their shoulders
Winning today is vital. It has an added edge as well. My son is bringing his prospective in laws to meet us for the first time today and we are all going out to dinner tonight. This has been planned for some weeks. The prospective MIL was born 200 yards from Loftus Road.....................they are QPR fans. Perfect timing!

Have pity.

We sold too many at the end of last season (it's our commercial model, it's just the way it is) and Dave just can't get this crop playing.

Off to Southampton to see my team Norwich City tonight....
I'll give a match report later...
Ah well another defeat, with a lacklustre performance.
Great night out if you discount the football ⚽ 😂
Nice burger & chips & beers before the game and brilliant atmosphere in the away end...

Unbelievably, I missed it due to work commitments. I can't believe I have been watching us struggle all season against so called lesser opposition yet miss the biggest and best game of the season. Obviously the damage was done over in Dortmund but if ever I had any doubts about VAR in Scotland, denying us the winning goal despite the check, tells me I'm right to not want it in our league. Still, what a night.
If you're talking about the Morelos incident, I personally think it was the right call. Harsh perhaps but right. To use commentator/pundit parlance, Morelos gave the ref a decision to make. Given the context, the outcome was understandable.

You won’t ever get a football supporter to accept that any VAR decision made against their Team was correct.
That’s why VAR will never work in football.
Seems to work brilliantly in rugby and cricket though doesn’t it?

So Abramovich hands over stewardship of Chelsea.
Jump before he's pushed maybe ?
Bet he's still on the phone in charge when necessary.

I have to disagree here, I dislike the concept of VAR and the slowing up of the game and the fact a player can be an inch off side but if the evidence is there unfortunately we have to accept it.
Some of the hand ball decisions are hard to accept due to inconsistencies but on the whole the offside ones seem to be accurate.

I think VAR is ruining the game. Stopping the flow of the game and being pedantic with decisions. Any clear thinking individual accepts that sometimes Ref's will make mistakes.
C'est la vie. Players make mistakes, VAR makes mistakes, even Boris makes mistakes VAR is not progress, it is 'anti-football.

The game was ruined before var came in, the behaviour by players and officials on decisions on the field is why it was brought in anyway. I don’t like it either but problem is there is that much money at stake refs are dammed if they do and dammed if they don’t . The modern game is sh..t no wonder I hardly watch any of it. Much prefer watching the local amateur team .I think VAR is ruining the game. Stopping the flow of the game and being pedantic with decisions.

Note the word. "Stewardship". Entirely meaningless, just PR.
