BasSavage88 Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) We were not great but ******* hell that ref. For people watching on TV how far out the box was the qpr keeper when he picked it up? Edited October 1, 2022 by BasSavage88 Quote Link to comment

Alessandro Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) Well if Norwich and Burnley were "free passes" (in the top 6 push for some fans) - this game was not. 2nd best in most areas - too many key players under performing. Feel like Weimann is slowly slipping out of effectiveness, for me in the way he's used. We've seen again what i've been saying since the summer - our 1st XI firing on all cylinders will give anyone a good game, delve into the subs and the squad thins massively. I'm sorry but Martin, King, Wilson and Massengo currently not looking anywhere like top 6 players. Think we've found our level, as suspected. Interesting to see going forwards if the fans will accept the balance of attacking style vs sitting mid-table longer term. Edited October 1, 2022 by Alessandro Quote Link to comment
Wanderingred Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Can we stop all this ridiculous talk of pushing for the top six now? We are an inconsistent side that will finish around 16th. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

I guess Massengo starts in place of Scott. Then you jus have decided what to do with Williams. Now Sykes can play CM. So you could use him to cover some or all of Williams' minutes and then use Wilson at RWB. 1 Quote Link to comment

Dan Robin Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) Too much confusion after our goal. Shame, because QPR didn't create/press much but we wasted many promising actions: most of the subs were quite ineffective too (Semenyo for the goal, some good passes/moves by Wilson, not much by the others). Onto the next one. COYR! Edited October 1, 2022 by Dan Robin 1 Quote Link to comment

BLRed Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Wilson looked shattered after one run. The phase where massengo broke out with the ball, wilson couldn’t even get up to the play to support. Wonder if fitness levels have been his reason for omission. 1 Quote Link to comment

ProfitInMyPocket Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Players like Willock, Roberts and Chair for them were real good outlets and relieved any pressure they had with their carrying of the ball, feel like we didn't have any of that today. Every time we won the ball back they were pressing us in little pockets and we couldn't build up any momentum, kudos to them they have a solid team and can see why they're up in the playoffs but we weren't on it today, too many passengers. Can see why the starting XI doesn't change much, the bench players aren't forcing themselves in at the moment. 2 Quote Link to comment

Port Said Red Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 I don't know if they always set up that way but Smart coaching from the QPR side. They have played 3 up front with 2 of them very wide ,and exploited the space we leave by playing our wing backs so high up. I would say it's the perfect way to play against us. It also shows that Sykes is not really a wing back, he was the wrong side of his man every time. 1 Quote Link to comment

He also bottled two big 50/50s that would’ve had us in a great position attackingwise. Sykes far more well rounded at RWB even if it’s not his natural position 1 Quote Link to comment

It’s a shame as I genuinely think this squad is probably only 2 or 3 players away from i genuine top 6 challenge. Be interesting to see what sort of difference Kalas makes when he finally returns. Still don’t think he will be enough though. Upper mid-table is our ceiling this season i think. 2 Quote Link to comment
The Bard Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 1. Need to be playing a RWB at RWB. Sykes was terrible today. 2. Really missed James. Scott was on his own in Cm. Williams was poor. 3. Their coach did a job on us for sure. 4. They're a bunch of time wasting c***s though Quote Link to comment

Obviously early days but he has to go down as a big disappointment thus far. Quote Link to comment

Me having a “better spirit” isn’t going to suddenly make us a better side, neither is it going to fix our defensive problems. Let’s be realistic about what we are this season. Lower mid table, hopefully we can score a few more good goals and have a decent cup run. Quote Link to comment

Naismith is such a weak link in that back 3 it’s unreal. Every single game i have watched him in he has been so bad defensively. I know he offers things going forward but it really doesn’t make up for what he lacks defensively IMO. Edited October 1, 2022 by Bris Red 1 Quote Link to comment

Remember it was being reported that Nigel wanted 2 more centre backs even after Naismith and Klose had signed. That must say something about his opinion of his current options. Unless and until we sell we are stuck with them. 1 Quote Link to comment
