Re: [LU] What a difference an Ayling makes / QPR report

[Rob Heath]

Once again Dave...on behalf I'm sure of all expats, I thank you
from the bottom of my heart for your reasoned and entertaining match
reports.

When I was scandalously thrown off this list a few months ago despite being
the totally innocent party, I thought meh, WTF, that list is nought but a
feeble pathetic creature these days, so I didn't bother to try to
resubscribe. But I found after a while that I could not live without your
match reports, so I signed up again.

Re: [LU] What a difference an Ayling makes / QPR report

[nat...@sky.com]

I have got to agree- Ayling made a massive difference and showed just how much 
we missed him. He was very good today and really drove the team on, he always 
wanted the ball and always tried to do something positive with it. We also 
commented on how good he was with the young lad (Edmunson) when he came on, we 
had a corner and as he stood in the box Ayling went right to him and patted him 
on the shoulder and had a word in his ear - real captaincy / old hand stuff
Forshaw also impressed again and brought the best out of Vieira who continued 
his recent return to form - these two at the heart of midfield next season 
could be the solid base we need
QPR were already on their holidays and made it easy for us today and so it is 
hard to read much into the result or performance - we did go out on a bit of a 
high though so that was good. Like QPR though many fans were there in body 
only. We got to the ground right on kick off (so missed the applause and the 
reason for it) and noticed lots of fans stayed in the Fanzone finishing their 
drinks rather than going to watch the game and then, of the 5 of us 3 were in 
the bar / food area so missed the second goal
Nothing much happened in the first 20 or so minutes, Matt Smith caused us a few 
problems but did not hit the target, then a great run and cross by Pearce led 
to an almighty goal mouth scramble that led to 2 or 3 players failing to score 
when they perhaps should have done. Then from the corner taken by Forshaw, 
Phillips won the first ball and headed towards goal where Roofe was stood with 
his back to goal and pulled off a brilliant overhead kick that gave the keeper 
no chance - a brilliant finish and his 11 th of the season making him our top 
scorer (not the 20+ that Wood got last year)
That almost finished it as a contest as they had nothing to offer and we took 
total control without being particualry good. Pearce had a rasping shot and we 
had a few half chances
Second half started in a bizzare fashion - we should have had a corner but the 
ref gave them the goal kick which the keeper hit straight to Phillips who 
shrugged off the nearest defender and did a clever little turn before scuffing 
his shot into the net 2 -0
We continued to dominate with little real attempts on goal - Edmundson came on 
and nearly scored but his shot was deflected - cannot believe he is only 16 
looking at the size of him and he gave it plenty of effort. Alioski nearly 
scored direct from a corner but the keeper tipped it over the bar and he had 
one other shot - a great move and cross found him unmarked in the six yard box 
but his strike was right at the keeper who blocked it
A very decent sized crowd enjoyed the day in the sun and a decent victory 

We did not stay for the post match "lap of appreciation" and the game was too 
little too late really and often had the feel of a pre season friendly but it 
was nice to finish on a bit of a high and to see BPF get his first clean sheet
No idea how many of this lot will still be with us next season - the 
introduction of o'Kane was met with more than a few boos - and no one will be 
that unhappy to see the end of a season that, once again, promised much 
(remember when we were top of the league and Saiz and Alioski looked like 
tearing this Division apart) and delivered nothing
Some big decisions to be made - starting with do we keep Heck (whose old 
Barnsley side were relegated today)
I am glad that this season is done with but will, no doubt, be itching to get 
back to ER and LUFC in a few weeks time
All the best to you all over the closed season
Dave

We’re not suddenly world beaters, and QPR are insipid, but Ayling makes a 
massive difference to the team. 

Forward drive and urgency which is lacking almost everywhere else.

[LU] what a difference Warnock didn't make

[Mark Pilling]

rubbing salt in the wound of the hope aroused at this season's start...reminded 
of the brief fleeting notion that Warnock was destined to get that record with 
us(and worse still an if only when flicking to bein 11 and seeing our Delph 
playing at one top table after our Milner recently played at another.).

what seduction will we inevitably buy momentarily into again for 18-19the 
massive potential of Heck (who is going to train our players to press) or of 
Coops ("our lads are sounds d..none of them would go out onto the pitch looking 
to lose")

Bring onMyanmar?

makes a massive difference to the team.
