I'd be worried if WBA were nothing special. They beat us convincingly. Exactly. We are going to come up against better teams than West Brom and need to turn up.

Swansea looked very good when they beat us but WBA looked even better.

QPR ‘are not there yet’, says BallBy Nick Kituno 30/09/2019 Dominic Ball is pleased with how QPR have started the season but believes they have not yet produced a “100% performance”. The dominant first-half display against Luton, after which he insisted they should have been six goals up, was hailed as Rangers’ best this term. Although West Bromwich Albion halted their four-match win streak in the Championship, Ball thinks there is more to come. He said: “I think we have had a very good season – a very good season so far. I think, as a team, we still know we have not had a 100% performance.
“I think if you look at the Luton game, the first half was probably our best half of football. We should have been 6-0 up.
“We are due a game like that, but going up against West Brom I think we can critically analyse ourselves and say, ‘You know what? We are not there yet, we have got to improve in a lot of areas’, and that is what we will be doing in training this week.
“I think they are definitely one of the better sides we have played against and they did have that experience – coming here, getting a clean sheet and scoring the goals they did.
“We are still a new team, we are still developing and finding out about each other.”QPR and West Brom entered the break level but the visitors edged in front after 54 minutes through 18-year-old Nathan Ferguson’s fine goal. Yoann Barbet’s dismissal with eight minutes remaining reduced Rangers to 10 men before the resulting free-kick was put away by Matheus Pereira. Ball, who joined on a free transfer earlier this summer, said the two goals they conceded were “sloppy” but believes lessons can be learned from the defeat. He added: “We have come away with a 2-0 loss and we will do exactly the same as what we always do – [ask] where can we be better.
“How can we make it so we do not lose those sort of games against the better team 2-0?”www.westlondonsport.com/qpr/qpr-man-says-theyre-not-there-yet-and-have-not-had-a-100-performance

Not many teams better than them in this league, their unbeaten record tells you that. How many points are they ahead of us ? Thought they were better last season to be honest.

I thought Perrera (no idea how you spell it) for them was class. Their closing down was too good for us and our passing was too conservative. Not enough drive going forward with a lot of coming short and going backwards. Not many runs in behind I felt but I think thats because they stopped us.
They were comfortable without cutting us to shred but they defo deserved the win. Might have been a different game if Chair had found someone on the cut back at the end of the first but it's all irrelevant as he didn't.
A point away to Cardiff tomorrow and I will be happy with that. They'll be in or around the play offs come the end of the season.

Pereira for them was class. As was Ferguson and as was Sawyer. Plus us playing just one CM was a weakness Bilic successfully exploited.

Too many misplaced passes from us allover the park, IMO, and not only when they were closing us down. Very frustrating to watch, and meant that we never really got into any kind of rhythm. Strange thing is that we actually had better pass completion stats than we did against Millwall, but that probably just goes to show that you can get away with more against a team like Millwall than against the Baggies.

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 very much doubt we would have held any interest for Bilic.
