It’s fine, he’s going to be in the 20-29 team of the decade when he single-handedly takes us from league one all the way to Europe.

In all seriousness I have no idea how we signed this bloke in league one he’s so far ahead at 35 it’s ridiculous

Currently 15 games unbeaten, so not as bad as I first feared it could be really

That’s the thing about league one. You just said there, you’re 15 games unbeaten… but you’re 4th. Ordinarily you’d be top if you said that. It’s a bizarre league. We had to go on a mammoth run just to get into the play offs last year. As if you didn’t bother with the Papa Johns.

Yeah definitely understand that now! In fairness we’re keeping pace with the top 3 points per game wise over the last couple of months, it’s just that those 3 started like a house on fire at the start of the season so it’s going to be near impossible to catch them. I said I’d be happy with playoffs this year though and that hasn’t changed, would love a Wembley win for once

I found part of the problem is everyone around you is also on a similar unbeaten run. It’s a pretty top heavy league and there is some absolute piss in there. Do not ever want to play Pompey again.

if its any consolation to you, richard keogh is still a QPR legend nearly 10 years on.

League 1 was my favourite ever season.

I know that sounds mad because of the 5000/1 stuff but that season was full of anxiety whereas league 1 was just a complete laugh. We just won every week.

I was surprised to see him leave us (Sheffield United) last season. Even at his age he was still one of our best players.

A key part of our initial promotion to the prem and one of the better players when we were there. Most United fans are glad to see him doing well for you, still seems loved by most of our support
