QPR Post Match Thoughts

[welovebooth]

Two key performances that have largely lacked any kind of fight bar the odd exception - if this continues it will just be a question of which two other sides take the drop as well. Peformances like that would yield little in L2. Hope we don't face Aldershot in the FA Cup...

...and then to rub salt in we may be saying ta ta to our best player in January.....for peanuts, no doubt...

Thank the desperation from ts to sell for peanuts

No thanks Derby
Neil until the end of this season and pray for a miracle unless we can persuade Rowett or Luke Williams or Eustace or the Cowleys or Cloughie to come on board now

Every team who expects better want Neil warnock.

Derby fans Birmingham before they got Rooney.

How do you expect to persuade these managers

Take a massive paydrop no new funds and you have to work with a team who isn't meant to be in the championship.

Or millionaire just sit on there bum waiting for a better opportunity to come along to enhance there reputation.

I'm curious whats your selling point to these millionaires

We only put another plaster over a bad wound. All the pain will be revealed on Tuesday night when we get hammered. Only then will TS stand up and remove Taylor from his post.

How on earth, and not forgetting we're the home team, can any Manager want to play 1 up front on their own, who was totally bossed by two big lads in their back line? He, Taylor, is clearly showing he has no bottle for big games. I wonder what goes through Hugill's mind when he sees yet again, he'll be up front on his own?

I thought the first half was poor, dreadful, awful, and I'm keeping it polite. Second half, repeat up to about the hour mark. We slightly rallied but we were always looking vunerable until Ayala came on and further steadied the back line.

Never thought I'd say it so early having wanted Taylor to stay in charge but, I fear he's only taking us one way.

Because it's not 1 up top.

It is in reality but we are definitely playing with 3 forwards.

Just cutting inside isn't working.. And hasn't at any point this season.

Citizen, Err who exactly was cutting inside? All I saw was Hugill being battered with no support and when he flicked on more than once, who was there?

No one!

Thats my point.

It looks like one up top because Hugill is so isolated.

He played Green / Appiah so wide on the front they went missing frequentky. I think the idea was to use Bramall and whoever was left sided to overload, then play into Hugill or cut inside.

Same on the right with Fred and Dexter.

Hasn't worked.

Yet he continues to play this formation and set the team up that way.

Given the balls played to Hugill I can only see the intention is for him to win fouls and flick ons..... Yet he's been his best when he's had the ball down to his feet and had space.

It's madness at a tactical level that we didn't see under Warne.


Against Saints he made the chance and got Revan on and balanced the team better. He did the same at Coventry at 1-0 and we looked so much better....he said it himself. Then he ignores his own findings and goes back to type.

Mental.

There is another explanation for the stubborn refusal to changed a system that had clearly failed:

Taylor knows exactly what he is doing and wants to get sacked.

Remember what you said a few weeks ago to my post “we are doomed “ ?

Football is about fine margins we hit the Bar they hit the post either team could have won it.
I can’t help thinking that the voice to get rid it’s growing so no matter what happens it’s not good enough.
Today was a poor quality game bottom 3 sides you would expect that.
Our home support is embarrassing yes the players need to do better but our fans are shocking.
Clarity is gone now the fact we showed character today doesn’t matter the fact our confidence is low and we kept going doesn’t matter the fact he kept us up last year doesn’t matter the fact we’re not cut adrift doesn’t matter.
He’s not been here long so get rid and what then?
I’m interested to see who the ones who demand he goes think we can get in.
Warne got 3 relegations so what’s changed with our fan base?
Why after keeping us up and we can still stay up he needs to go. Dont tell me it’s the performances because we’ve had far worse under previous managers.

Pocket, in all honesty, do you think the last two performances against two clubs who are below us, is 'staying up' material.

Last week I was all for supporting Taylor and giving him a chance but when I saw the 4-5-1 line up today, I instantly thought, he has no balls to take a game to anyone and the first half and most of the second half showed it.

That kind of performance today will not keep us up. We have failed miserably to beat the only two teams below us and I for one are quickly becoming a Taylor out fan.

Come Tuesday night against high flying Ipswich, if he persists with his bombastic attitude that he knows best and fields the same starting line up then get ready to be soundly beaten. However, IF the light bulb comes on in his head before Tuesday and he feels he has to change the formation then we may be in with a small chance of something.

All we as fans are asking to see is an attacking line up at home, yes I get the one up front away from home hoping to snatch a point but, have a bloody good go at home. IF we have a go from the off and we still get beat so what, he will have tried an attacking formation and that's all we are asking for. Carry on with the negative start and we will be adrift through the festive period. Have a word with him Pocket, you know it makes sense

NB. To answer your questions:

He’s not been here long so get rid and what then? He's been here over 1 year so he should know what works for him and clearly what doesn't.

I’m interested to see who the ones who demand he goes think we can get in. There's plenty of Managers out there, Rowett for one.

Warne got 3 relegations so what’s changed with our fan base? Warne played in your face, high tempo, upbeat football, this guy has ripped the book up on this approach and with the players he's brought in, he could have continued that no problem but he prefers hoofball to Hugill and it ain't working.

Why after keeping us up and we can still stay up he needs to go. Dont tell me it’s the performances because we’ve had far worse under previous managers. Warne left a decent legacy behind and it's clear Taylor has his own coaching ideas from League 1 but the Championship is a completely different animal and he isn't adapting accordingly to take it on.
