QPR 1 Swansea City 3 (21/08/19, Osayi-Samuel. 12,287)

The defending is part of the style of play, Are you saying you would not change that?

No drills can make Barbet not dive in or get caught the wrong side of his man.

That doesn't make sense. Coaching is all about improving players and helping to cut out errors. We knew he was slow when he arrived but I would rather we carry on as we are over using the Clint Hill solution to no pace which was to drop ten metres every time the opposition won the ball and isolate the midfield. Bringing the BFG isn't going to introduce any pace into the back line so it isn't like we have a ready made solution waiting in the wings is it?

Or could end experiment as soon as Wallace is back. Hopefully he is competent LB as sure to god manning is not. Just see the goals could argue he’s had part to play on all three. 1. Corner one 2. Let’s guy into the box for pen and 3. Ball watching for the third

I agree, but Smith as the last man was tempted forward by the shit corner in the first place.

A lot of the mistakes that are being made a direct result of either a.) holding too high a line and getting caught out (Barbet's penalty in the cup is a good example. Caught up field and tripped the man trying to chase him down), or b.) simply playing football in dangerous areas when a better bet would be to get rid. 

Personally I'd like to see us trying to play football in the right areas. That is all I'm saying!

Goal from throw in at Bristol what goals have we conceded from overplaying??? Only ask as the discussion seems to have evolved to are we playing wrong areas when to me this is not the problem. The problem is silly lazy errors/decisions

Don’t see reason to stop knocking it about as it’s not issue, yes clear lines when needed all in support of that but why step away from building from back when it’s not actually been issue

I didn't respond to this as I wanted to have a think about it. QPR cannot keep going in the same direction of firing a manager every season because the results aren't happening the way that the fans want. For the first time in many years we have a manager and a coaching staff who have a firm plan about how they want to progress. They are hamstrung by having to bring in an almost new squad of players who barely knew each other before the start of the season, let alone assimilated and executed the new playing style; a squad assembled on a rock bottom budget yet still managing, for the most part to look a lot better than the sum of their parts. The biggest problem QPR face in the future is their own fans; they don't want cake tomorrow, they want Cordon Bleu now no matter how impossible an ask it is. I (justifiably) get pelters on here for standing up for what is happening on the pitch, albeit with one or two who also see things from my perspective, and I make no apologies for that stance.
There is absolutely NO future in cobbling hotch potch teams together and getting a manager in because he is cheap or a former fans favourite. Fans will have to get with the program and support the club no matter where we end up next season or face the reality that the club is going the way of Bury, Bolton et al sooner rather than later. The clubs I just mentioned should be a wake up call to QPR fans that we can't carry on as club in the way we did up to a few years ago when Ferdinand & Hoos were brought in and since the appointment of Amit as Chairman an subtle air of normalcy has begun to pervade the stewardship of the club. DO NOT destroy this recovery by demanding that we revert to type because we just went on another six match losing run, look at how we played, how the club is trying to move forward on the cheap, how they are trying to ensure that in another 100 years that there is still a club called Queens Park Rangers F.C. playing in West London and not a facsimile AFC QPR because we didn't heed the warnings. No club has ever (to my knowledge) assembled a new team and got it firing on all cylinders the first season, even Man City, when the money rolled in. bought Robinho and thought that the Premiership was theirs for the asking. It took them several more years to get to where they wanted to be and as fans we have to respect that a team cannot be built in one season and there will be hurdles we fail at during that growth.

Having a moan to get things off your chest etc. is fine but no more demanding that managers be sacked, players be dropped after a bad game or two etc. it's destructive to QPR's future to hold that mindset and it won't do your own personal health a lot of good. Look at the golden chest at the end of the journey rather than focusing on every sharp stone you step on along the journey. 

Agreed. I'd like the club to show some patience with Warburton and I think they will. Hopefully this shouldn't be too difficult to do as tactically, technically and as a man-manager, he (and his team) are arguably the best we've recruited since Warnock.

I doubt we'll keep more than one clean sheet this side of Christmas.

It`s not very likely.   

Thank you, TBH there is a lot less criticism on here than some of the SM sites, which have a disproportionately high number of wankpuffins claiming to have all the answers to QPR worrying football problems. It won't be the knee jerk "Warburton out now" clarion calls that will be the problem if we go on a losing run; it will be the "I was a big supporter of MW when he arrived but we can't afford to keep him now if we want to avoid League One" type posts when we are 10 points clear of the relegation spots. These are invidious and sew the seeds of discontent because they seem reasonable but take no long term view of what the club is trying to do. 

Speaking of defence, I just watched the highlights and the 3rd goal is a disgrace. Criminal defending from all involved.

That area of the field is a concern and needs to be addressed as we are far too easy to get at.
