QPR Post Match Thoughts

[DerekMiller]

I had some pushback on the other thread for suggesting Taylor has a "god complex" but what other phrases can we use to describe somebody who started, yet again, with the same drab god awful tactics that failed spectacularly in the first half against Coventry and saw us humiliated against Wednesday? Walt's description of clueless seems quite spot on but is it really that simple? Surely he can see it doesn't work? But it's like he has the belief if he keeps pushing it over and over and over then one day it will fall into place and he can say he told us so and that his "vision" was right all along.

In the last two games we have played relegation rivals who were both low on confidence and on long winless streaks, and we choked against both of them purely down to the tactics. Bringing Georgie Kelly on after 60 minutes and rescuing a point is NOT a tactical masterstroke, it's the actions of a man thinking "I'm 30 minutes away from being sacked so maybe I should put my "vision" on hold for a while." Strange how when he puts the Taylor masterplan in the bin and actually plays to our strengths we see a huge upturn in performance.

Positives from today. Georgie Kelly. Said it before I'll say it again, everytime this lad plays he is central to something good happening. Assists, a goal, more overall confidence going forward, the kid makes it happen. So no doubt he'll be on the bench against Ipswich (unless there's a board meeting before then). Much praise for Odoffin and the Viking also, Cafu was improved and put a shift in, as did Bramall. Beyond that the only other positive was the pipe band. The minutes silence for Remembrance was ruined by QPR fans not listening to the stadium announcer when he said a minutes silence would follow The Last Post.

I don't see much point in giving Taylor until Christmas, he's made it clear he won't deviate from his negative and dire tactics, if I thought there was a chance he would then I'd say lets do it. But one point from six against sides as dire as Wednesday and QPR tells us everything we need to know sadly
