So weird to watch. Every player looks like they’re just going through the motions. Apart from maybe Esse. Devoid of confidence right now.

[Osullivan18]

Hes a good player

That's fair, I haven't watched QPR bar against us this season. I know people mentioned we should go for him in the summer

 

[Finham]

Heard a rumour today that the Onyeka signing hasn't gone through because Doug is considering sacking Lampard and bringing in Neil Warnock to get us over the line. And so he's keeping the 8 million in his pocket firstly to pay off Frank, and then to sign Sol Bamba and Adel Taraabt for Warnock instead.

I remember a hungover New Year game when Taraabt ripped us a new one as QPR were on their way to the title. I wish I could remember as little of that match as I could the night before.

 

[mark82]

Is Kone good or are we making him look good?

He's a good player, but I think in general we are making an injury depleted QPR look pretty good at the moment.

 

[Jamesimus]

Well at least the midfield isn't wide open this time, but really really poor again.

Centre backs all over the place. Simms a waste of a shirt so far.

I think that’s a fair assessment, Eccles seems to have shored up the midfield somewhat. Centre backs look like they’ve been up all night smoking spice and playing on the Nintendo Switch.

 

[Cov4life]

This is no longer a ‘blip’. I have no idea what we’re trying to achieve. Looks to me a couple aren’t putting the effort in.

 

[TomRad85]

One of them is dead...

He'd fit right in.

 

[Ashdown]

It’s pissing it down and QPR continue to water the pitch

 

[Liquid Gold]

Wasn’t this the team a lot were asking for

Doesn’t matter who plays. The lot of them have bottled it. They are so fragile mentally.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Wonder if hull and Ipswich fans are so cruel to their teams

Their teams aren't going to enter the record books for bottling the biggest lead in the league's history

 

[Esoterica]

One of them is dead... unlike the the rumour.

Oh damn, had no idea, just knew he was a Warnock favourite

 

[chiefdave]

Time for Lampard to earn his money.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Not sure which is worse. The performance on the pitch or the support in the ground. Its like a morgue in the city end today.

Or the support on here

 

[steve101]

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 still very much in the game. We rarely seem to get possession now in the centre of the field. We play it around at the back, play it to the wings and rinse and repeat. We need to mix it up a bit. Far to predictable.

 

[Nick]

That kone tackle should have been red

 

[fernandopartridge]

Yang really was a waste of a signing

I'm not sure today's game is the one for him TBF

 

[Hutch11]

Ffs 1 great save and other than that they’ve done fuck all , we are a better team than them

 

[Otis]

Wasn’t this the team a lot were asking for

Yeah (Simms apart). But we can't predict how the players are going to play before they enter the field of play, can we.

They are better than this, but not showing it

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Must be better second half , we can win this but again the ongoing form is a concern

We barely look competitive. No ideas going forward, no discipline at all at the back. Hoping for individual brilliance to bail us out because this stubborn manager can't adapt to what he's got.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

So depressing atm. We’ve completely regressed from our quick dynamic attacking football of this season to the ponderous and slow possession we played under Lampard in the early days.

Cardiff away comes to mind

 

[hill83]

Stand off us and fill the gaps.
We don’t know what to do.

Press us
We don’t know what to do.

We look like we’ve been found out.

 

[Nick]

Never a pen either

 

[Osullivan18]

I'd be angry if we weren't given the penalty shout, so that makes it about 10-2 for pens we haven't got Vs pens others should have against us I think

 

[Para1140]

Hard watch this. Creating nothing

 

[skybluecam]

Not sure which is worse. The performance on the pitch or the support in the ground. Its like a morgue in the city end today.

Been like that for a while

 

[FergieTheFinisher]

It’s a shit game so far, but we have a quality bench to use in the second half. QPR can’t say the same. Expecting at least Esse and Hadji to come on at 60 mins and poss Torp too.

 

[Jamesimus]

Don’t know if that QPR one was a penalty looking back at the replay there. Grimes barely moves and essentially just holds his ground and sticks his knee about one inch further forwards.

 

[shmmeee]

It’s across the pitch, management team has to take responsibility it’s not one player it’s all of them.

 

[SkyBlueAussie]

Take Wright off and bring Simms on for the second half.

 

[covboy9]

Both fullbacks pitiful, Simms embarrassing, grimes miles away from other central players , EMC didn’t fancy it today we are shit

 

[Liquid Gold]

Ffs 1 great save and other than that they’ve done fuck all , we are a better team than them

At least they’ve had a shot on target. I don’t know by what metric we’re better than them.

We’ve got possession but done nothing with it.

 

[Jamesimus]

Time for Lampard to earn his money.

Is he subbing himself on?

 

[mrtrench]

It's a very dull game so far. Weather aside, it's like a mid-May game between two mid-table teams. Looks like we used up all our creativity allowance greedily in the first half of the season.

 

[quinn1971]

Least we’re not losing but it’s a poor QPR side,,big 2nd half incoming

 

[Finham]

Yeah (Simms apart). But we can't predict how the players are going to play before they enter the field of play, can we.

They are better than this, but not showing it

Story of my life!
