Queens Park Rangers away match thread

[Jose]

That was ******* awful. The atmosphere is ******* awful. The weather is pleasant if not a little cold.

Terrible waste of a FK by Mehmeti, really poor flat ball

He’s been dreadful.

Some on here love to moan about Weimann, who has offered one excellent bit of defending to block their only shot, & a couple of smart passes, but Mehmeti has provided nothing.

Their right back Kakay is really poor but has had the better of him.

Has to do much better.

That was very poor. Pring having a tough game up against Smyth, we’re too laboured in possession especially James getting caught a couple of times as he doesn’t have the agility to turn quick enough with the ball.

Is he fit enough, though? He’s was in a protective boot two weeks ago and yet leapt off the treatment table after Rennie was sacked. Or could it be losing that expertise meant he was rushed back

That's exactly why nige wasn't playing Mehmeti, awful

[BasSavage88]

[Loderingo]

Well Manning has a job on at half time.I suppose at least we aren't losing

[LondonRobin]

very sloppy in attack - defence did well at defending 

[Numero Uno]

No shots, no corners. They must have got Manning to watch the best bits of the Holden reign and told him to copy that……..

Mehmeti did some good defending down the right side in the opening 10 mins. 

Weimann has had how many touches this half? 4 or 5? Disappeared again. 
 

Mehmeti hasn’t been great, but can’t be praising Weimann either. Whole team have been dire, particularly going forward.

So annoyed, I flew to Germany to watch this rubbish.

I’m disappointed for Mehmeti as much as I am with him. He looked like he had something about him when he signed but it just hasn’t worked for him.

Today is the chance of a fresh start but he just hasn’t shown a lot.

[The turtle]

Scintillating stuff. 

QPR trying to play, but just not that good.

We have simply been boring, robins tv just love to pump out the brave on the ball mantra. More so in the last two weeks, all i can say is; i look forward to the day it comes.

[Ivorguy]

Overcoached!

Agreed. It’s almost as if Nige knew his stuff and was correctly not picking him….

[George Rs]

I can’t really tell if TC is being starved of the ball or his relative inexperience means he’s not making the correct runs to try and receive it. He’s had about 4 touches in that first half and most of them nowhere near the box. 

[Alan Dicks]

Over to you Jon and Steve, it’s your team now.

Centre mids way too static at the moment, yet again our off the ball movement is not good. Only outlet is cam pring

Yes no outlet for the back 4 (not that this is a new problem) they either give the ball to James and get it straight back just with the added help if having a QPR player much closer to the, only thing I will say is we have seen less of the aimless humps to Conway. 

Largely not seen anything new we are just as dull as we have been whenever we are the "better" side and the opposition need breaking down. 

We miss Wells so much as the ball just does not stick to Conway. 

[Shauntaylor85]

Sat here watching the worst performance since Holden. Seriously bad half! Things can only get better! 

[AppyDAZE]

Front foot? Give it time, folks. Brian will soon have his input and then we'll start seeing the 7-1s

People are sticking up for him saying he did a bit of defending for 10 minutes FFS.

One pass straight to him went under his foot, & his crossing has been absolutely dire.

Kakay is one of the worst full backs in the league, so take him on FFS, he’s making him look like peak Bradley Orr.

Maybe he is better in training. Need to give Manning a few games to catch up with what we've already seen - he's a waste of a shirt.

[George Rs]

Also, sometimes I fking hate Bristol city, why can’t we just be good at everything. 21/22 we were a decent team going forward and at parts last year until we sorted our defence out. Now are defence is arguably one of the best in the league but we can’t even get a shot against a relegation contender.

(Edit: yes Ik “why can’t we be good at everything” sounds very naive )

[CityCiderEd]

The QPR winger does everything that Mehmeti should be doing. Head up, not frightened of going wide and having a go at Pring. Mehmeti permanently coming backwards possibly because he lacks the pace to get past his fb....we have no threat upfront at all.

[Lack of Action Man]

Could be worse guys, I’m at the bears game and we are losing to Sale

[sh1t_ref_again]

Mehmeti, Conway and Weimenn have been poor, only thing they have managed to do is be offside

[winsaw]

Worst half I have seen from us in a very long time, that was everything John said he didn't want in a football match, it's going to be interesting on here later :laugh: 

[Br1stolCityBoy]

Mehmeti doesn’t offer nothing. Get Bell on. 

[42nite]

The best player so far has been the bugler!
