Quite - they have definitely turned a corner from their initial poor form. It always confuses me how some appear to think it is only ever about what we do, as though the opposition is just going to let us play and do what we want. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well b back 3,208 Posted February 10 1 hour ago, Canary Wundaboy said: When we’re leading after 70 minutes away at a bottom 3 side on a wretched run and the head coach makes subs that throw away our advantage and a system that was winning us the game, we lose the initiative and throw away 2 points. If we’d won today we’d be level on points with the top 6. Again, we’ve fallen agonisingly short via a decision from the head coach that is clearly questionable. Maybe I’m mistaken but I thought they had won 2 of their previous 3 and drawn the other one ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Context is everything, had we nicked a late goal having played well all half to take a point I’d feel more satisfied than I do right now.

Mason 47 1,380 Posted February 10 58 minutes ago, TheGunnShow said: QPR were in some form coming into this so I'm not sure why an away game, against a team fighting to stay up that's hit some form is supposed to be a 3-point banker, frankly. Especially in the Championship! In fairness, I'm not sure there's many implying that we should be battering QPR by default. Certainly in my case, I probably would have been happy enough with a point before the game. I was dismayed at how flat we were in the first half, overjoyed with how the players stuck in and got themselves in front, then back to dismay as we made tactical choices that allowed QPR back into it. Directly following the subs we were so passive that the goal felt a bit inevitable. I think it's reasonable to be frustrated that we just took the boot off the neck. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellow Fever 3,792 Posted February 10 (edited) Of course we're all a bit disappointed in the result when we were 2:1 up with 20 or so to go. We all have our views on the substitutions - personally if Sargent had run his course (another 10 minutes?) I'd of left much the same and brought on the The Donk. Stacey was ill so that change was more forced with Sorensen playing as ever out of position. We lost our way! However, an away point at a rapidly improving QPR with banana skin written all over it is still a good point. No need for boo boys.

QPR aren't as bad as their league position suggests, they've been a lot better since sacking Ainsworth and are 10th in the 6 game form table. They've got a few decent players, Begovic is a great keeper, Clarke-Salter, Ilias Chair, Chris Willock etc. I doubt they'll go down. We've also only won at Loftus Road 4 times in the past 20 years, in 13 attempts, always been a tough ground for us. We lost there 3-1 under Farke in 2021.

Odd that Johnny Rowe's part in our second goal is omitted by the whiners. I'm not sure I'll be 100% right but, by my thoughts, going to Barnes lone striker meant that their back line could push up as there was no longer any real threat in behind. The ball wouldn't stick with AB nor Sara who moved up to support meaning the play was almost entirely in our half and out of our hands. Less decisive but also meaningful, Stacey's departure for a much slower player meant Chair and Paal (who I was impressed by) could push up without fear of being exposed. Stacey is a key outlet for us, often playing as high as his winger as he has the pace to get back. This is also why I think Rowe was generally anonymous. So the subs were not directly responsible however gave QPR the opportunity to play a lot higher than we had allowed in the 2nd half up until that point. As we know with this Norwich side, pressure will find holes. The subs are not a hanging offence by any means, but they do seem to occur in ignorance of the game state. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
