QPR - Nottingham Forest

[BadDog]

Figs needs to be dropped now for next week, attacking wise dropping Ameobi was a big mistake.

I would have picked Darikwa over Gabriel.

Poor massive improvement needed.

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.

SA.

Cant pass either at present....

Again.  No possession in CM.  Can't see to put our foot on the ball.

Lacklustre.  Lacks energy.  Tempo.  Urgency from the off.

I hope recruitment have a ball player CM on the shopping list.  And a winger who is a class above what we have.

We keep getting mugged with soft goals.

Barnie.  QPR.  (Who have lost their best players...)

Dropping Ameobi wasn't the best idea.

Agree with the rest too.

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

Yeah.  I wasn't getting the fight or passion vibe.

Same as Barnie and Stoke games.

Lifeless and draining.

How can we not manage a shot on target against 'soft underbelly' Mark Warburton's QPR? And they've lost loads of key players.

I disagree, I don't think we need a ball playing CM. I think we need a manager who is going to ask his team to pass the ball on the floor. I would guess by magic, that some of the players we already have at the club would miraculously learnt to pass a ball in a way we've all been crying out for!?

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

I think 3 or more is a pattern down to approach and/or personal.

Could be CHs losing concentration.  Could be the lack of creativity in midfield (ie being able to pass and hold possession...)

It's all very Colin Calderwood Lite.

Shock he makes another wrong choice. f**k off sabri

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

We didn't lose because Ribeiro didn't play!

Nothing to see here. Clutching at straws.

[BadDog]

TBH dropping Yuri didn't hurt us, Blackett played well.

[Strawberry Avenger]

:huh: :huh: :huh:

Why didn't he put Worrall in his natural position.  The new CH next to him on the left.  And Rib' at LB...?

And put Figs, who seems to be suspect at the back...on the bench on 'ball watching' duty.

Blackett seems a decent player.
