QPR 0 WBA 2 (28/09/19. 13,959)

I’m sure I’ll get slated for saying this but I don’t think Lumley had that bad a game. The shot from Ferguson curled between two of our defenders and he was totally unsighted. Some keepers would have saved that but a few probably wouldn’t. He made some good stops today. Yes there are better keepers out there but they don’t play for us unfortunately.
Brum were the better team but it’s a bit galling we conceded two stupid goals.

I rate Lumley but he can be quite slow to react to shots and get down. Normally a keeper might be weak on crosses or coming off his line, lose his nerve at key moments etc but he seems OK there. He was very cocky when he got in the team last year but seems to have lost a bit of that belief.

That'll be the fans in the Loft & R Block etc. screaming abuse at him. He can hear every word shouted at him and for a kid who has come up through the ranks at QPR it must make him sick to the pit of his stomach when he hears grown men and women calling him a useless cunt and to fuck off. It's no wonder he has no confidence when the slightest thing that someone decides they don't like about him results in a tirade of opprobrium directed his way, from people who I guarantee wouldn't have the guts to say it to his face. We have a team assembled for fuck all cost and we got beat by a team that cost over £70m to assemble yet people want to slag off their own players. Don't tell me it is criticism when words like shit, turd etc. are being used, it's abuse. 

Up to today WBA had conceded nearly as many as us. Saw a lot of similarities in their play to ours this season only they are better at it than us. They will be vying for automatic promotion, we hopefully, will be vying for the 6th playoff place.

Not the end of our season today, take it on the chin, learn and move on.

I also think we are seeing the player he really is now he's gone.

Beaten by a better team with much better game management and there is no shame in that as I expect them to be in the top 2 especially with Bilic at the helm. We are a work in progress and a top half finish would be a excellent season.

Everyone was average yesterday. Everything we have been good at this season we lacked.

Think game like yesterday was made for Amos as he is tenacious and plays forward, whereas yesterday everything felt slow and went backward. Hugill aside thought we sounded really quiet out there no voices

What’s happened to Hall??

Wells didn't get a sniff yesterday due to the imposing physicality of their huge CBs and our midfield getting crushed, and he was royally fucked off. That might explain why he didn't track back. Put it behind us now.

Think we had the opportunity of appointing at least once over the last few years when we were looking, he was abroad and wanted back, wouldn't have been a top top money cotract at the time. Geniuses upstairs preferred to look elsewhere.

I can think of someone who'd have given them an interesting last half hour  Only joking boys.

(Then again with the mf missing en bloc and no width.....)

Seriously though we need to learn from this rather than put it behind us as an aberration.  Massive reality checks are always good if you can learn from em. 

Warburton takes exception to a suggestion that the game had been an education for his young players.

He said: “Without being rude to you, it’s derogatory. What do you mean it’s an education?

“Maybe their budget is multiples of ours and the expectations are there, but we’ve shown in recent weeks that we can go home and away and play good football and hurt teams.

“Up to last week we had the second-most chances created. So I think we’ve earned the right to be shown some respect and if teams don’t show us respect we’ll hurt them.”

Things learnt from QPR’s defeat against West Brom

By West London Sport 29/09/2019

QPR’s winning run was brought to an end by West Brom in a game which underlined the visitors’ status as one of the Championship’s heavyweights.

Rangers boss Mark Warburton was having none of it when it was suggested that his side were given an education by the Baggies. But the game did tell us some things about Warburton’s team.

Cameron is no right-sided centre-back

Geoff Cameron has operated as a central defender for much of his career and has previously looked the part in that position for QPR. But on the right of a three, he never looked comfortable and was quickly targeted by Albion, who realised early on that he was a weak link.

Cameron is needed in midfield

Cameron was missed in the centre of the pitch where, at his best, he does a great job in front of a back four. His performance at Stoke on the opening day set the tone for the win against his former team and against West Brom he might well have helped Rangers get a foothold in what was often a one-sided game.

Eze and Chair are no longer surprise packages

The young pair’s growing reputation meant Albion were wise to the threat of Ebere Eze and Ilias Chair and worked hard to shut them both out of the game. That’s something they will need to get used to, especially against the better, more streetwise teams in the division.

Thought Sawyer was best player on the park. West Brom have signed a gem there from Brentford

I reckon he'll revert to back four at Cardiff Ginge

i thought they were excellent , They done a massive job on us ,they knew Eze was our playmaker ,and they marked him out of the match ,the only time he had the ball ,was in our own half, they were first to every ball in midfeild .
The only Rangers players who really excelled for us was BFG and Barbet (and he got himsef sent off !) Kane ,if i!m being nice wasnt good enough and Lumley , fuck me , is always gping to cost us ,and his distrebution is woefull  ...........................
