QPR - Nottingham Forest

[wassy04]

qpr to me looked like the worst team we played all season

i don't think QPR were as bad as everyone is making out, they forced at least 3 good saves out of Brice, and that bullet header and a few other near misses, they are accused of being slow in the build up but they did move it quick at times and over hit a few cross field balls when in promising positions.
Put it like this the Forest team gave everything and sort of had to, ended up being an emphatic win against the 10 men.
Forest started quite well and the high press was causing problems from the 1st minute, confidence was high as a result and started to seem like a matter of time until we scored.
The foundation for the win as with most of the wins is the work rate and commitment when we don't have the ball.
The subtle changes to formation at the start was probably enough to undermine alot of QPR's preparation and instantly made them jittery.
Defensively we are unflappable.
This was the perfect away fixture and type of set up to face, a team that overplays it at the back and trys to play through teams.
But it was a tough game in that everyone needed to give everything to ensure the win.
I think QPR are capable of taking points off other teams around us and have some good players and probably capable of scoring a few goals but i'd sort of agree that i wish we could play that type of team every week.

yeah they really should’ve scored about 5 mins before our second, free header was a great chance. They created some chances but were very open and didn’t look that threatening really. That was before the red card too!
