Not really sure what to say - it was that bad.
This must seriously be the worst midfield we have had for years. We wouldn't have scored if we played for another 10 hours. Do we bother to practice pass and move during training, and who is in charge of set piece training?
It was embarrassing that our one shot on target from the Halford free kick was even cheered and laughed at by the QPR fans. I can't believe that players like Zheng and Ambrose are putting in displays like that - total disgrace and should be up there with the better midfielders in the league.
Don't know if anyone noticed the QPR bench was so much more animated than ours. Ainsworth got substituted and was standing with the manager driving on the team, showing real passion. Our bench was lifeless.
I'm not overreacting and I've given this significant thought before posting, but I honestly feel we are in serious trouble next season.

What planet is he on?
A totally shocking display. Does the team try to play to a plan or do they just adlib it?
If marks out of 10 were awarded added up they woud be lucky to amass 11 in total.
As for today.......it was so inept is was untrue. This was a side needing to win to achieve a top 6 place. To win means you HAVE to score a least 1 goal. So what do we do? decide to pass the ball around the back until closed down and then launch it 80 yards towards the corner flag.
We had 2 attepts on goal - Illwelumop's turn and shot and halfords free kick - halfords was the he only one on target.
Utter rubish. If we do not buck our ideas up then we have problems ging into next season.
We need at least 1 attacking midfielder ala reidy/Murphy/parker/jensen (pref 2) and a strong no nonense ball winner in midfield , ala Savage/bowyer etc.
without these 2 playerrs we are doomed.........oh,yes, i was right all along about Reid. Sell him at your peril I posted in late January. Oh, well.......at least we still have that £4m in the bank.
If you think we were bad, he reckoned that that was the worst display by QPR he has seen all season. That makes me feel even worse because I thought QPR played alright.
It did remind me of some sterile premiership games (without the class of course). Both sides pushed up on one another so that playing the ball around at the back was completely negated by the lack of space in the midlfield. Add to that the inability of especially our midfielders, like Ambrose, ZZ and Holland to actually pass the ball to a team mate or carry the ball foward. This mean't that our attackers were starved of decent delivery. If you also add a totally inept free kicks and corners we took, it was small wonder we failed to score.
This is half a season of inept displays. Ever since Reid got injured is been slowly going downhill. We're in trouble next year. Make no mistake about it.
three right backs (two on loan)
four centre backs (one on loan)
four left backs (one almost drawing a pension)
This doesn't make for stability.
Normally get mates to text me or nip to the car to check
