Norwood doesn't fit the way we play. Evans looked decent today as did Rakels who took his goal well. They'll both be crucial players next season. All in all a point at QPR is always a good point.

Evans had a good game.
Rakels is shaping up well.
McLeary still isnt back to his best - and why didn't he score? He always scores against QPR!
Norwood WAS poor - too many missed passes (not his worst game this season though).
Cooper much better than on Tuesday.
Like Cox in the position he's in.
Ref was average.
I thought we played well - not the best we've seen but not a disaster.
Upper level fans were great and in full song almost all of the 90 mins.
Lol at the QPR twat to the low right (light blue top) who kept giving the shaky hand gesture.
All in all a good day out for me, RG7 jr, 3points and 3points jr.

Rakels will score +15 goals next season. Natural finisher who gets in good positions from other flick ons. Really think with a full pre season over the summer he could shine next season.

Wouldn't surprise me if Brian doesn't do a lot of business in the summer. I think he will give Cox and Ferdinand new contracts, and we will sign Taylor permanently. We will trim the squad right down in terms of numbers and we will see more academy players in the match day squads. I reckon 3 or 4 new signings at most

I had a feeling he would score yesterday because during the prematch shooting practise he was looking lethal. Everything was flying in off his boot.
Thing with Rakel though is that although I don't doubt his ability to find space in the box and finish with deadly accuracy. Does he have enough of an overall game to be starting matches for us regularly next season? You see good finishers like Cox and Le Fondre not playing regularly. Although they are great finishers, they don't offer enough of an all round game to be getting picked every game.
As for Rakels new song..... I don't know what the hell the kids were singing.... It was something along the lines of "Dennis Rakels, Dennis Rakels, number 10, he plays for Reading FC you can find him down the Oxford Road" and I can only imagine what they were suggesting that Dennis has been getting up to along the Oxford Road.

Better than the usual xxxxxxx xxxxx wearing xxxxxxxx that used to come. Much more of a lads on tour atmosphere.
Excellent.
This has been moderated, someone didn't like the first two words and being all pc, we probably shouldn't use the last word.

Do you know I thought this as well
Very few Jester hat wearing, thermos flask, blanket over the laps type of fan there yesterday.
Quite a few were not let in as well because of being over indulgent on ale pre match.
I was in the lower tier and it was actually quite a good laugh.

Fans were in really good voice and spirits yesterday, was in upper tier and QPR really need to do something about that dodgy Mexican hat Latino guy

Cringe ! The club has no future all the while people like you discriminate against fellow supporters who choose to wear their colours !
