QPR - Nottingham Forest
(12-09-2020, 05:03 PM)Plymouth red Wrote: That was awful beyond all words. No fight or passion.

Starting xi was questionable
Decision to get Worrall to hit long diagonals was odd
Players gave possession away cheaply
Not a single shot on target against a team managed by Mark warburton
Strange substitutions
No real sense of urgency before or after we conceded
Shaky defending - both goals came from poor errors

Overall this was no different to either the Barnsley games or Stoke game

There was a clear sense of urgency after we conceded, created two sitters for grabban tbf

Far too defensive, and clearly he has learnt nothing

Managed also to defend so well that we could not get a single shot on target.

Dont think defending had much to do with missing 2 sitters. Both missed target. Miss chances like that and you get f@(k all.

I feel I am a bit obsessed but does Benalouane give away that pen? Figuerado needs taking out of the firing line. Let him regain his confidence away from spotlight, giveaway goals where it doesn't matter. Because we score so few goals, the pressure is always on  the defence.

Yeah - I suppose. Would not say it was sustained though. We did not exactly pepper their penalty area with shots and crosses nor did we really ever have them under that much pressure. We made it very easy for them. 

I do worry about Grabban form. He needs a goal desperately.

Something is wrong with your shooting if you can't manage a shot on target.

Let’s have no ‘short of fitness/early days’ excuses! Some clubs returned to training a full 2 weeks ahead of us - still scratching my head to understand why.
No excuse - though it looked like we hadn’t trained together at all.

Indisciplined display for me. I have a feeling the players are wanting a different approach to sitting back and are caught between two stools. Sabri has lost me at the moment...

What is a shame is that I feel that the recruitment this summer had done much to banish the memories of the last couple of games

But today we managed to blow up that optimism and hope.

I mean, we even managed to concede ANOTHER injury time goal. That is three league games in a row we have done that. This cannot be a mere coincidence

Can't defend. Can't score.

Figs elementary penalty gift. Grabban misses 2 or 3 you'd bet him burying.

Another 'loss of concentration' moment. I'd rather Big Ben in than Fig' at the moment.

Seem brittle at the back.

Big Ben?  No.  I don't think so.
