A disappointing weekend of football continued on Sunday. A strange defeat for Moormead Panthers with two moments of officiating proving critical to the result. However, that didn't legislate for our under par performance against a team looking to get revenge for a 2-0 defeat a couple of weeks ago
Moormead Panthers 2–3 Hampton & Richmond
Today was a disappointing result in what turned into a strange game, but also one that gives us a lot to learn from.

Ten years after “He battles and he scraps,” QPR turned up at Derby and did neither. One hoofed goal conceded, one big chance ballooned, 62% of the ball, one shot on target. Structure, yes—fight, none.

In the battle of the big cats, the Panthers had the lion's share of the game. Good point away in the rain and drizzle, on a great pitch and with a solid referee.

No QPR report for the Sheffield Wednesday game as I am away in Vegas.
I watched in our hotel room in, which wasn't without it's own drama.
Thought it to as a drab game, we take the point and move onto the Oxford game.
