MATCHWATCH : Queens Park Rangers (a)

[Jackson Corner]

Feel for the fans who paid £34 to watch that shambles.

[Lower West]

Pauno should go tonight. Give the club a reasonable amount of time to get someone in. Otherwise...that is IT.

Yeah. He's absolutely clueless as to how to set a football team up. There's no excuse for this. This players on the pitch aren't far from our first team.

For many of them must seem like pre season given the time they've been out injured. Pauno is rolling the desperation dice now. Only needs one of them to pick an injury up now.

[St Pauli]

I maintain if you give the players a confidence boost, and some decent training and tactics, and they'll perform.

I don't care whether Paunovic is a good coach or manager or not. At this point his position is untenable. There is no faith in him or his leadership anywhere in the club.

He has to go. And the very fact you've instigated a change, even if the replacement (who has to be external) is shit, it will give you a lift. Remove some baggage.

Ian is right.

Tbf they must have expected it. It’s hardly a surprise

Dellor said many have left already, hard to blame them

[Ascotexgunner]

What does it take to drop that overpaid chavvy useless c*nt. He offers nothing, no cover, can't pass, can't tackle.
Words absolutely failing me. We don't seem to have a clue. I honestly thought we would get something today, then I saw the lineup. Didn't expect this though.

[windermereROYAL]

More than 20 goals conceded in January, first time since 1935. mess.

[bcubed]

I think half a lemon could do a better job as manager. What other fruit could do as good a job?

Strawberry might be alright. Got a cheery disposition. But would probably need to bring in from Spain at this time of year

[Royal_jimmy]

Holmes and Southwood need dropping. I dont care if they're from Reading. So am I. Doesn't give them anymore right to be in the team as they are not upto it. McIntyre is upto this league. The other 2 are not ready.

[South Coast Royal]

As some have already said, this is not far off our best eleven which makes it even worse.
IF they want Pauno to stay the players will have to put in a real performance in this second half otherwise surely enough is enough.

[Sutekh]

Puscas off and Ejaria on

That includes me

[Millsy]

Puscas off and Ejaria on

losing and drop down to only 1 striker

and leaving shitewater on

what sane manager wouldn't do that? all of them

ffs clownovic

[Dixie Norm]

This game will just fizzle out now. We can't dictate the tempo of game for love nor money so QPR will just have a rest for 45 minutes.

[Snowflake Royal]

Missed the first half because I just couldn't give a shit.

But not surprised people talking about a really poor performance. We followed up a brighter performance v Middlesbrough with the absolute shite that was Luton.

Reaction against Huddersfield looking much better going forward, end to end. Matching pattern of a non-existant showing v QPR who are right up there.

Just seen the goals.

Laurent wrong side and awful challenge fouling so has to step off and just lets his man go. Holmes loses his man.

Puscas loses the ball, break with Rahman out of position. Laurent lets Dikes go in the middle of the box having been literally shoulder to shoulder. Holmes fails to get in and cover quick enough.

Lose the ball on the edge of their box, Rino doesn't make the challenge or foul. Southwood doesn't stand up quite enough, Laurent can't catch up.

Problem = wide open in midfield with no proper covering or challenging. Same old same old. Drinkwater, the usual base man... never in shot.

Unsurprised to see Southwood and Holmes getting the brunt of the blame for Laurent's failings again.

You’re flattering calling him a manager and he’s clearly not all there in the head.

If he was a dog you’d put him down.

[Royal_jimmy]

Warnock if you're reading this please save us

[Brogue]

Goal

[Dixie Norm]

Another one

[Lower West]

That's the issue. This group doesn't make an effective coherent team. Flawed recruitment. Names and pedigree rather than graft and character. Was Drinkwater really the only midfield option available last summer despite the clubs financial woes ?
