Some of the defensive decision making errors are so basic. For their first goal, Kitching, after failing with initial header, decides to press the ball, whilst DaSilva is already in a advanced position. Leaves a gaping space behind for them to exploit, which they did.

Playing a back four with wingbacks was never going to be workable over a lengthy period.

Think were worse than Norwich game because Norwich looked decent. QPR were very average.

Yet again, out fought. Everyone single one of our defenders were awful. Not much better further forward - toothless.

Latibeudiere is our only centre back who doesn't allow himself to be bullied by a physical striker. Kitching and Thomas are looking more and more lightweight. Some frustrating moments of switching off too. Van Ewijk particularly guilty. Not much to feel good about apart from the fact we are...

Not really. Both have played in those positions.

Maybe Rudoni shifting to an 8 role and Esse to the 10??

Away from home I think Eccles needs to be starting. I probably would have Bidwell in there too just to be more defensively disciplined.

I don't understand why Torp looked so laboured, given he hasn't been playing the minutes that others have. This was a game that needed a Jamie Allen energy injection.

At this stage and on form, I can see us slipping into the playoffs and end up playing fucking Wrexham!

They looked sharper and played with more intensity and desire.

What a handful Makama was. He occupied our defence so well. If only Simms and Wright could do similar.

Totally agree with this summary

Dreadful defensive performance. We look better with Latibeudiere in the team. Unfortunately our better form players play in the same position - Esse and Sakamoto. I think we need the former in the 10 and Sakamoto on the right.

Being carded so early is worryingly particularly if he tires. I would be safe and put Sakamoto on after 60. Esse is something special though.

DaSilva hasn't been at the standard of most of the season since being back from suspension. Caught in behind too many times, though Mason-Clark could be helping more.

We have to be better if we are to take 3 points. They look decent and the is too much space in the middle. Think Eccles should come on for Thomas-Asante to sure things up a bit and drop that bit deeper.

If we get to a point in the season where not losing is what's needed (rather than needing the 3 points), then Bidwell will be useful, or protecting a lead in the last 10. He is still a decent defender. If we are playing a team who are launching it into the box, Bidwell will be more useful than...
