QPR - Back from watching on TV

[Tamworth_Royal]

Lol at the pitch being ruined by the rugby. It doesn't stop Swansea at the Liberty and it didn't stop QPR out-passing and out-classing us tonight. Hugely disappointed. We were simply not good enough. Against 10 men we should have been playing with width but Kebe and McAnuff were non-existent in the second-half.
Don't blame the pitch nobbers. Look closer to home at our own players.
Can't believe we lost and the nightmare of Reading and Wales losing tonight has happened.
The weekend can fcuk right off.

Just about summed up that you know feck all, passing width to Kebe involves a ball not being handled you arse, this was footy tonight not public school egg rodgering.

Rugby has ruined the pitch, do Arsenal complain “ Oh the pitch looks so perfect I think we need Rugby players to chun it up a bit “ ?

Next you will be telling us buggery of a sheep was allowed in Wales as long as you didn't pull the wool over the Coppers eyes.

yes i think whilst we were poor, let's not go overboard on the praise for QPR. I wasn't massively impressed - if the 1st half had an extra 5 minutes we'd have probably scored, true they were down to 10 men - but we should have murdered them with our wingers 2nd half. That's why I'm so pissed off - it wasn't how good they were it was more about how poor we were.

I disagree Leon. I thought QPR were excellent. Knocked the ball around superbly and were still looking to win the game even being one player down. We created nothing in the second-half. Absolutely nothing. Either they defended very well or we were crap going forward or a bit of both.

you are easily pleased, they passed better than us...not hard though.....but they created almost nothing and their goal had alot of fortune about it....which was their ONLY shot on goal

Perhaps you can explain why the QPR players had no problem at all knocking it to feet throughout the entire match. They were playing on the same pitch my friend.

Not really. You would never have guessed we had the extra player on the pitch. You have to credit the opposition sometimes. The only other decent effort I can remember in the second-half was Miller's shot over the bar. We were at home. We had the extra player and did nothing.

Exactly how I feel about supporting a club with no ambiton with fans that will use the excuse " well they spent loads on their players and it shows". Bla bla bla. Every time we lose a game.

Finerain, support Chelsea, Man City or similar and just leave this club alone. It's tiresome now. AP is right, it's not the Reading way, we are not going to do a Leeds or a Charlton, and for your own sanity move on!

I'm surprised that so many people are complaining about our wing play. We were woeful in the centre of the park all night. Both Tabb (usually consistent) and Jem seemed to be off the pace. At no point in the game did they seem to be where the ball landed, either too deep or too high up. However I did feel it was Harte rather than Mills that let his man go for the goal.

All in all a dire game to watch - felt Church was really poor and we lacked muscle in the middle of the park. I can't quite understand why we persist with long ball when our team are really short.

Manset looks a real find at least, loved the turn in the middle of the park.

I wouldn't give anyone more than a 6.5 for the game except Long and Manset.

WBA or Birmingham managed it fine.

...but a minute ago you were blaming the rugby for highly paid professional footballers not being able to pass a football. So now you are saying that players can pass the ball but only if they are good enough. So nowt to do with the pitch then...just the quality of our passing.

[RG30]

Can't disagree with a lot of what's been said on this thread. Tuesday night we were superb for the 1st half on a pitch just as bad and we passed it with ease. Tonight we just resorted to continous long ball, long ball, long ball which was just getting us nowhere. To have been beaten quite comfortably by a side who had 10 men and didn't even make it look they were a man down was really poor on our part.

Still, the league table tends to match money spent and we can be content of a decent top half finish come May.

[Platypuss]

Harte has done quite well for us this season, but second half we were crying out for a pacy leftback who could be a threat on the overlap.

snowball/pearcy - we're kind of agreeing here. We were poor because we let them play a passing game with 10 men - I didn't really see anything from QPR to suggest that had we actually gone at them ( eg the end of the 1st half) we wouldn't have won - and certainly not lost. We were pathetic 2nd half - i've seen us outplayed by teams that we had no answer to (over too many years...) tonight wasn't one of those nights.

I just didn't understand what we were trying to do in the second-half. Kebe and McAnuff disappeared from trace when they should have been hugging the touch-line and been constantly involved and stretching QPR.

No you dim wit QPR won the game because their football club showed ambition by investing in a good squad of players that proved that with just 10 of them they could beat our best 11.

Strange isn't it by doing that they are only 17 points ahead of us !

Harte has done quite well for us this season, but second half we were crying out for a pacy leftback who could be a threat on the overlap.

With THAT I agree. I don't think he's been "laced" any more than most FBs get laced
and his corners are OK, his FKs and pens good. He's decent coming forward and getting
deep diagonal "crosses" but what he can't do at all, is go past the winger at speed and
get behind the opposition

ala Bertrand ( Oh I forgot Madejski Prem part wages issue) and tbh Cummings would not of gone miss belting down the right even

Absolutely - we should have been getting the ball out quick from the full backs and really stretching them down the wings - where we can hurt teams. Mcanuff was really going at them 1st half. But no, 2nd half we bang it long. Honestly I'm struggling to understand the lack of intelligence.
