QPR v Swansea
QPR v Swans Sat 21 Jan 15:00
We move on from the poor FA Cup showing in mid-week, where Martin made seven team changes with disastrous effect against a poor Bristol City side. The Robins just sat back, waited for us to make a mistake with our endless passing game and hit us on the counter-attack with great precision, two shots on target, two goals. Swans defence no pace and like a sieve, something Martin cannot solve with the squad he’s got, and it’s holding us back. Mind you with 18 shots, 6 on target, and only 1 goal against the Robins, we have problems up front too.
With two of our goal-scorers from last season in the naughty school and up for transfer and Whittaker brought back from loan to sell, what can one expect.
Our next opponents QPR appointed new head-coach Neil Critchley on 11 Dec following their 0-3 home defeat to Burnley, and after previous incumbent Michael Beale had left for Glasgow Rangers.
Critchley was in charge of Liverpool’s U-23’s before moving to Blackpool as head-coach and won promotion to the Championship in his first season there before joining Aston Villa as assistant head-coach to Steven Gerrard, but four months later they were dismissed.
His five league matches in charge so far are W1 D3 L1, plus a 2-1 defeat at Fleetwood in the FA Cup on 7 Jan.
Swans with two wins from the last 13 games need reinforcements badly but unfortunately the owners are concentrating on generating cash by selling assets in the transfer window rather than buying.

The inevitable goal from an ex-Swan

Whittaker said he was not in the right frame of mind to play yesterday!
Imagine phoning your workplace on Monday and telling your employer that, you’d be on your bike quick sharpish.

Let’s hope Benda’s knee injury is not too serious, sub goalkeeper Fisher makes too many mistakes.
Ntcham unlucky at the end, his winning goal disallowed for offside.
The ex-player factor occurs once again as Lowe scores the opening goal.
