Half time and somehow we are one down. A breakaway goal was the difference but we’ve hit the bar and had around 10 shot but only forcing saves a couple of time.

The pitch isn’t helping

Offside?

Busy times at Bloomers with all these game and new signings. Tuesday’s defeat was really hard to take. Watching the highlights today it looks like the 1st was offside, even with Coid a few yards deeper.

The pen also looks like Butler got the ball, something that was easy to see from the West Stand, where the lino was positioned.

It’s the day the message boards go crazy as everyone rushes to bring in some fresh blood. It’s no a secret that we have a bit of cash to splash. We’ve been linked with a few names already one being Gillingham striker Simeon Jackson who would be a brilliant signing.

He’s scored some good goals.

I’m in the ground, no eardley in the team so Edwards starts withs Babs at right back.

It’s cold but there a good following from Pool. Love the feature in the program with our tactics from David Bust. All wrong.

QPR Have No Hart

Today it’s back to normal football, no more freezing conditions or snow but one thing remains the same, QPR changing managers.

After former Pool defender Paul Hart left as manager of QPR this week the stats about the merry-go-round at QPR were revealed. Since the new owners came into Loftus Road in 2007 the team has had 9 managers and amazing 90 transfers of players in the same time.

Stability has been the foundation of success, in the same time that QPR have seen off 9 manager we have had three. Grayson, Parks and Ollie.

It’s hard to predict todays game, a team that’s recently recently lost it’s manager is similar to a wounded animal. It might get up, try to fight or it’s going to lie down to die. Let’s hope that QPR are going to lie down and roll over.

Back to the South Stand

Rumours have been flying around ever since the work started on the South and today it was confirmed the residents of the North will be moving to the South Stand. The reason why hasn’t been given but it’s most likely that the North will now be used for away fans.

In footballing terms I’m sure the players don’t really care but at least now there will be fans at both ends of the ground to kick towards.

This most likely is the nail in the coffin for the temporary East stand which is falling apart, ask the Preston fan that broke the floor of the stand.

It will be strand to see the atmosphere change and I’m guessing that the fans in the most Northern parts of the West stand will be looking to move.

Any opinions add them to a comment below!

Cardiff 1 – 1 Blackpool FT

This is the kind of result we should be grinding out away from home. We’ve too often gone behind away from home and not fought back. Yesterday was the third time we have managed to grab a point after going behind, the other two away at Watford and the 3-3 cracker at Doncaster.

We’ve still yet to come from behind away and win but the performance yesterday and the win at Derby shows we are starting to play a lot better away from home.

Credit also has to go to the back four, missing Evatt, Edwards and Crainey, debutant Andy Butler (above) and Joe Martin apparently did well after a dodgy start to the game.

Let just hope we have some games to play in the coming weeks!
