All the talk should of signed a striker is perfectly valid but get the reason why MW went for a MF player, unfortunately he picked the wrong type of player.

I'm not defending Chair second half because he was anonymous but maybe why he gets such stick and no one really criticises Amos is because frankly no one expects Amos to turn a game. Two different types of player that play different positions, so an apples and oranges comparison really.
In general, the criticism of Chair hasn't been over-harsh IMO. No exactly. It's because we all know how good he can be (eg. the assist today), that makes it so frustrating to watch him piss away his talent dribbling back and forth on the sideline only to finally pass it back to a CB or lose possession completely. |

MW saying 78 points get us into the playoffs 6 wins and a draw from 9 games. Very tall order especially with how we’ve been playing the last 6-7 weeks. If we manage 4 points off Sheffield and 3 off Huddersfield we may make it with less wins, but still not looking bloody likely. Here is to hope 🍻 |

I can’t remember who or where but back in Jan someone posted ‘let’s hope this season doesn’t turn out to be a reverse of last season’. I wish he hadn’t.

Exactly - so we sell him to a manager who sorts out his game and everyone will say the criticism he got was unfair. The manager could change a lot of things about the way people have played since Jan. |

We literally have 5 of them already. Ridiculous. We needed someone to inject some energy and purpose into the side. We got a statue. Massive error. |

All club seems to do is get in players for u23 squad that in all probability will release also

Warbs, if you're still reading, well done for heeding our advice on the starting line-up and, as we saw, it paid off with the 1st half goal. But you should have stuck with Dozzell and Amos as they had the energy Johansen and Hendrick lacked. Hope you've learnt from that moving forward mate.

16th in the championship form table.
Unbelievable considering we were virtually top 2/3 of it for most of the season.
What a capitulation at just the wrong time and I’ve got to say it’s all our (MW) own doing.

Something which has gone under the radar from last night - Barbet. Injured? If not, why rest him for a key game? If he needs a break wouldn’t Peterborough at home be a better managerial decision? If he wanted Sanderson in for pace Dickie would be the one to sit it out.

But I think Sanderson was more on there on the left to help with the pace that they had down the right. |

Leave a settled back three and play Moses on the left. Six-pointers are not the time to experiment. |

Yes, you can stomach being turned over by better teams but no one is particularly good this season apart from Mitrovic FC. |

Yes, you can stomach being turned over by better teams but no one is particularly good this season apart from Mitrovic FC. You’re right. So frustrating. So near yet so far and it’s all through shit decision making. We looked so slick, so fluid & dangerous for the first 25-30 games and now we look slow, clumsy, laboured & frankly poor! Haven’t said it once as things can turn quick in this league but I will say if we don’t get 3 points Saturday I don’t think we’ll make play offs. Momentum and form is with others, plus the psychological impact on the players dropping out of the top 6 will be massive. A win keeps this crazy ride going for another game. |

Warbs actually picked the correct starting 11 and that showed in the 1st half as we played well and looked in control - indeed like our old selves once again.
On 60 minutes, however, he became the master of his own downfall again, with those counter-intuitive substitutions.

As mentioned by plenty of us it completely slowed us down and invited them onto us which they lapped up. To be honest we haven’t put in a brilliant performance for ages. We’ve been stumbling through games either losing or drawing lately. Can’t remember the last game we properly outclassed someone. The mojo seems to be gone. |

First 15 minutes yesterday were the best first 15 minutes of the season. Maybe old strategy to start poorly and finish strongly is better after all. If so, you need to have influentical players like Amos on the bench.

Thomas created the chance winning us those three points late only to be then absent from the bench. Why? Ball did a brilliant job of work as make shift CB same game and he's disappeared too. Why? Hendrick ought never be on even the bench.

I noticed the other day, a post containing a tweet mentioning the fact that we have won more points from a losing position, 13 I think, than any other club. It’s all well and good, putting a positive spin on things. In that instance, I guess it could suggest that we have a ‘never give up’ mentality, or perhaps we make pro-active substitutions.
Now I know I can be a miserable old git at times, but something about that didn’t feel quite as good as it looked. So for balance, I did a quick check of another stat that I had a gut feeling would prove to be more telling. It turns out from looking at the league games in which we have been in a winning position, that we have dropped 20 points by either losing or drawing these matches.
Perhaps that stat, is a pretty decent indication of just how dreadfully poor our game management has been. Not least aided and abetted by constantly putting ourselves under completely unnecessary pressure by pissing around at the back, supposedly trying to ‘play out from defence’, when in reality, it’s often a case of waiting for the inevitable sloppy pass, leading to us either gifting the opposition a chance, or us lumping it upfield anyway.
Anyway, that’s my positive contribution of today. 😂

Hendrick ought never be on even the bench. Both Hendrick and Chair vanished and that cannot be tolerated. If Willock is out then play Thomas and replace Hendrick with Ball and keep these 2 passengers off the pitch. We need 11 men every game now not one who is never in the game and another one who thinks it is ok to not work hard. |

Said to my son the other week Warburton seems to have disregarded the players who got us to the top end of the table in favour of players he signed and also the Chair situation after AFCON Should have stayed how we were. Hindsight eh. |

Thomas always puts in a shift and gets involved when he gets the rare chance to come on. He hasn't start a game since August (at LWB.....). Anonymous fucking Hendrick waltzs into the side, is shit, plays every game, and we keep losing. I mean WTF??? |

Nearly all of the above posts are right,i have said this for ages now.
He is from the city,where they play the numbers game but with a certain amount of caution and this applies in his football.
To much,caution,subs poor,predictable around 60 mins,lack of game management.round pegs in square holes,if its not broken dont fix it etc,etc.
Gone on record did not need a forward but got another midfielder of similar ilk to what we already had.
Some might say who was available,there were players available i am not going to name them as i have before,even a youngster on loan or a seasoned pro
would have been better than not addressing the prolblem that virtually everyone could see.
Sometimes you have to roll the dice and the club as a whole didnt,we will never know for definite and can only conclude it was down to
MW on the various comments regarding this.
Mw has done very well in getting into contention for promotion but sadly he seems to have had a brain fart around the end of Jan and its still going.
However we are Q.P.R.and never do things the easy way,so please Mark and the players and the fans one last push,no cock ups.sensible team selections
etc and we can still do it.
Rangers we love you,go for it.

Not sure Willock`s injury is a serious one. Warburton`s said he got kicked in the hamstring. Whatever that means... It probably means he got kicked on the injury they’ve been keeping quiet for a few weeks☹️ I guess you`re correct. Hence, I hope they will try to replace him with a new signing, short time- because indeed, he really is that important to our play-off aspirations. |

I went out last night to play 5-a-side and we had just gone 1-up. Got home and we'd been tonked.
I really feel that was a BIG loss.
Wouldn't be surprised now to see us really struggle to get anywhere near our form of earlier in the season. Whatever people's feelings about Dykes, he did a job of work, gave us options and scored some important goals.
Chaz seems to be concentrating on his media career - putting on a bit of timber and slowing...
Our keeper situation is dire.
If I had to put my house on it, I wouldn't bet it on us making the play-offs.
