It kills the game off. Surely it’s not a penalty AND a red card.

To be fair, we’re still in this game and that’s something positive to take from this half.

Don'tthink Blackburn are that good truthfully. They have had a few half chances and can't finish tbf. Pity Godden did not score hitting the post but he will get another chance at least. It's one defender missing, lets not assume we should be thrashed because of it. We will need some physicality up top. Sacrifice Allen or O'Hare - both having poor games.

There was one moment after about 35 minutes where O'Hare is driving at the defender who is flat footed on the edge of their area and instead of just cutting inside him and getting a left foot shot off he delayed and delayed until he could pass to Godden. Kind of summed up his last few games for me.

Problem is 90% of his crosses are dire

Then when we get an injury we can go down to nine.

Grendel having digs at Hyam is the best part about this game. It’s like he picks a player out of a hat to start slating.

This game is thoroughly depressing. We should have been going for it but an early red card and pen fucks it up. If we keep it 0-1 we can take something from being able to hold up against it. Feel really deflated.

Like when Brentford got gifted a 2-0 lead they can just relax on it and step it up if they have to. Sick of making it so easy

Well we should be long gone fact us we are still in it so we have to try and do something. McCallum is looking dire on the right and Hyam miles off the pace. He’s going to have to try something radical and get some pace and help Godden and create chances

Incoming 78th min sub when 3 down ?

What's most frustrating, is when we get near their box, we start playing backwards.

It's wet and windy, we need to start having shots rather than trying to always walk it in.

I think there was 2 or 3 opportunities to have a go, but we tried playing it in.

Always felt Rose got his place back in the side too easily. Never thought Ostigard should have lost his place. Seems more steady to me than Rose. Now that’s he’s suspended for the next 3 matches, I hope Ostigard cements his place in the first eleven.

We are capable of winning games at this level but it depends on us performing at least at 90% rather than the 50% in League One

That was a hard watch.

Still, we're somehow still in the game. Regroup at half time, take the game into the last 20 and you never know. Changes clearly needed though, we look lost.

in the last 5 games, the teams from QPR in 16th down have won a grand total of 4 games between them.
Yes we're struggling, but we're one of several teams, there's a very long way to go yet. Predictions of our certain relegation are very premature.

We need to stay in the game for as long as possible & try to nick something from a set piece or similar.

I'd be tempted to get Pask or Østigård on for Allen, put them at RB, switch McCallum to the left & push Giles further forward to at least give us some pace on the counter.

Godden is always our most likely scorer but Baka might be better suited to this scenario.

Agree totally. Just let it fly when you’re around the 6 yard box. That’s what Shipley did the last game to score.

He needs to dump the 3 defender plan they aren’t good enough and we are always vulnerable to pace behind us - the notion we can play out from the back as well is stupid we look likely to concede every time - if he doesn’t change it we are in for a long and sorry season
Click to expand...

But would a back four improve that much? It might stop space down the wings a bit but then we've got little chance of getting out from the back. Which brings up into 4-4-2 territory.

Time to change it is with 20 - 15 minutes to go. Make the most of fresh legs. We need to just spoil this games for 30 mins. I don't care if we are not pretty just kill it.

Giles has got us up the pitch a few times and got a few crosses in. They may well go on to score a few more, but we have to stay disciplined. Can't afford any more bans. Get Baka on and Bapaga to run at Douglas to get him sent off.

Yep, at least if you make a tackle ref might somehow believe it was a genuine attempt for the ball.

Just let him go tbh, there's a small chance Marosi saves but if not we're still in the game. The decision he made genuinely beggars belief.

4-3-2 from here on in. Godden is defending too deep so even if we do win the ball there's no outlet. Biamou for O'Hare now and Bapaga and Baka for some pace and ball carry instead of Allen and Godden after 65 mins

We hardly ever beat teams by more than one goal - it’s essentially a defensive approach anyway and we are leaking goals.

but to be fair Osti was very lucky not to be sent off in the first half of one of those games and was taken out at HT as he was pretty much a nailed on red.

Just put Kastaneer on the right and tell him to get at him.

He's either going to run rings round him or have a fight with him.

Either way, it would make this game better.

Put Østigård at right back and Giles attacking mid?

What you talking 'bout Willis.
