I don't thinks so. I thought he was shit 1st half but I'm sure the stats will show he's been involved in plenty of 'duels' this half. Seen it with my eyes.

Fam gives it away again... I for one would be happy if he doesn't play for us again this season, given he is off. Give the game time to Bell or one of the other youngsters.

So many players showing they're not good enough to play any higher than mid table. Play offs a joke.

 

Think we all knew playoffs was a big ask even at the start of the season. I know we keep banging the drum regarding injuries but it has upset us today as well. Unfortunately the performance was a cringey reminder of how ineffective we can be. Be interesting to see what NP says and even feels about the group.

OK, but the problem is and has been for lot's of games, we always make it easy for the other team.

I'd agree with that. I just don't think this was ever going to be the walkover some seemed to be expecting. 

[E.G.Red]

When RB just said Bull, they summed the game up perfectly

Have we had a shot on target yet? ....

Yes. This isnt the Holden days...

[Slippin cider]

FT ...shocking!!!

[mjd]

Soooo disappointing thought at least a draw 

[Dan Robin]

Unlucky with the two concussion injuries and forced subs...but still a disappointing result.

The next match has become even more delicate now... 

[CotswoldRed]

Appalling performance. Embarrassing. Again.

Pearson making his debut, Palmer has worked hard, um, er, nop can't think of anything else

Think Palmer has been our best player on the pitch, he’s certainly developed a willingness to defend which is something we’ve not seen before. Apart from him and Pearson the rest have been shite. Injuries have not helped in midfield but we’ve gone back to being totally insipid up front again.

[ralphindevon]

That felt as bad as anything this season

[E.G.Red]

And Nigel was back in the dressing room before the players came off. Oh to be a fly on the wall.

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

I really don't think it's worth commenting on!

Maybe he can find a club happy to pay him for several more years while he looks for it. 

We have a whole bunch of players with unfulfilled talent who seem to me to have lacked direction. We could, of course, ship them all out but we’d not be left with much if they all went!

[cityexile]

QPR took their early chances in the way other sides had not this season, and that was that. Passing poor, the few times we opened them up crossing was shocking. Ho hum.

[Garland-sweden]

Our team is not good. Name of the manager is DH, NP or Whatever, we still have not good enough good players. Said same thing during DH bad run. Avoid relegation and then get a team to next season is What it is all about.

Crikey there's so much wrong. Difficult to find positives

Lansbury time 0-0 today?

Seriously though. Palmer could hold his head up today - had a good game. S Pearson got a good run out. N Pearson will have probably learnt more than he did from the two wins. 

Not a lot more though.

[Roadrunner]

It's hard work being a city supporter. Interesting what Nigel says tonight. I  will be back next Saturday for Birmingham, full of hope that this will be the turning point. Oh hang on i thought that last Saturday.

True. But I'm not entirely sure they have the potential.

No team huddle for the boys today I think

[GlastonburyRed]

Still in the top half (somehow)

Dean Holden says we always bounce back in the next game!

[oldstandrobin]

Got out of my sick bed to watch this.................will be off for another week now. I am sure NP will sort us out but not with a few of these players.

[maxjak]

Don't worry......we are only SIX players short of being a good side

[keflav]

Truly shocking result and performance today at least NP gas now seen how utterly shit we actually are...

A week before Birmingham with possible other players back hope that's good for us... But will say now we never play well against Birmingham, so don't hold much hope for next week either..

This will be the first full week without a midweek game for pearson. 

Gives him a good chance to start getting some philosophies accross to the players. I expect quite a different starting eleven for birmingham

[E.G.Red]

I suspect Nigel will paying greater attention to the U23 games this week.

[BCFCGav]

My god we’re shit when we’re off it. They all look terrified if pressed. Press Bristol City and we will not shoot on your goal. Bloody joke at times this season.

He's provably thinking, thank god I'm only here until the end of the season like so many of the players.  He'll have more/better options at the end of the season once relegation and promotions are decided.

That was being said fifty years ago when Alan D was boss!

I can remember those days well, we would play the ball down the left to Gerry Sharpe and down the right to Alan Skirton - there was purpose and direction and everyone knew their role.

At the moment we don’t seem to know where each other will be!

Hopefully Pearson will gradually get them playing like Leicester!

We can dream!
