Several early thoughts on today

[Timmy the Doc]

Yellow card tops never was it a red. Its red for hitting someone. The rules might state agression/grabbing hold of etc gets a red but the REAL rule applied by the vast majority of refs in reality is only red for hitting someone.

Really? If you spit and miss, it's a red. If you try to push with your head to the opponent, but no touch, it's a red. If you are hostile and grab ones throat, it's only a yellow? Maybe not!

Red all day long for me, you're not allowed to raise your hands let alone grab someone's face

First, very unlucky. Yes, Cisse probably deserved to get sent off, but on another day the ref sees that as a yellow, just an overreaction by a player who suffered one of the worst leg breaks in premiership history to a terrible late challenge...

Second, loads of positives. Yes, it was a 6 pointer, but we're still out of the drop zone, bolton lost and we're on top of wolves on goal difference. Early signs are zamora and cisse will be excellent together. We bossed the opening period and looked full of goals and attacking threat. And it's looking like Joey's finding some form - spread play very well today and looks energised by the new talent around him.

Third, such a positive that it belongs in its own category - Taraabt. Huge threat today, even when we were down to 10 men. Looked composed and made us tick at times, upping our tempo. But most of all he worked his socks off. Saw him track back at pace several times and was completely willing to be first line of defence against their wingplay. Very impressed with him, and gotta think that MH had words about what he needs to see from him. Bodes extremely well for his future at QPR.

So there we are, don't let's cry about this and quickly move on. I have faith DJ can can step in for Cisse and play off Zamora - IMO that's our next best front two if he's fit, and still has plenty of goals in it.

IM obviously watching a different player and thinking its Barton as i dont see how his getting better

Agree with all above
Will even say hulse was alright

Hulse contributed nothing when he was on the pitch he did absolute **** all .
