    As much as I like the club insights and anecdotes.
    I prefer match commentary.
    Sorry boys, I know it's not your vocation and you are doing your best but please try and give us a picture of the game and match action please.

    Can you get the QPR commentary instead?

    I like them. I think they're good. I like the understated style. I think it's bang on.

    They don't claim to be commentators, they undersell themselves, but for me, it's perfectly pitched.

    Great of you're watching as well but if you're just listening you'd need more commentary on what's actually happening on the pitch.

    I think it depends if you are watching the video feed, or trying to follow the audio only.

    I think they're doing a great job considering it isn't their main role.

    PLUS - they were only told this afternoon that they'd be doing the commentary tonight. I say Well done :)

    Agreed it does, they're definitely commentating for a video audience.

    Don't dislike em mate.
    And as I said, they have got better the more the game goes on. It was similar at Norwich.
    They are my eyes and ears at the match that's all.
    Also think we are spoilt having Matt B as our regular.

    I've had to switch to QPR commentators. I understand and appreciate all the circumstances such as being told to provide tv style commentary and it not being their job but it just wasn't listenable for me tonight. I've enjoyed their commentary previously but there seems to be long gaps, even between words tonight, so I've had to change it.

    Wasn't criticising mate or undervaluing your opinion. Was just giving mine. I'm watching the live stream with them commentating, which I think they're excellent at, maybe not so if you've just got audio. It's a very different skill and to be pitched right for both is difficult to the point, I would argue, as being impossible.
