    Feel sorry for the Addicks who battled train nonsense today to be rewarded with a second half like this.

    Good job there is an International break coming up next week. Give the players a rest.

    Key moments Leaburn should do better with his chance then 2-0 offside but key moments

    Why can’t our forwards attack the ball like Jebbison there….do and die in the penalty box

    Shame before the international break. Need more goals from our forwards

    We completely lost our shape after making the subs, and we were only 1–0 down with 20 minutes to go! In my opinion, we just needed Tants to come on for TC, keep our shape until the last five minutes, and then throw the sink at it.

    Go on likes hes the messiah. He hasn't scored or assisted. Thought I'm not blaming him as its a team game but he shouldn't be made out as this knight in shining armour.

    But generally his subs have a decent impact, just a poor week.

    Said it on Tuesday, say it again today... Leaburn, Olaofe and Knibbs just don't give the opposition defence the same sort of thing to think about, or keep them busy enough like Kelman, Campbell and Carey do.

    Until that happens, Jones shouldn't be switching it.

    We haven't even looked like we might come close to scoring here. Second best all game

    A game too far today. 2 away trips in a week and we're looking very leggy for it

    Has Knibbs done anything of note since the Watford game?

    Leaburn and Olaofe cannot press like Kelman and TC, sad but true that we look weaker without them both on up front.

    Can ‘lol’ this as much as you want but it’s pretty straight forward really. Defenders know what TC is capable of and double up on him. Opens up space for others even when he has an off day. Also means their full backs / wingbacks are less likely to push forward. Not rocket science

    Exactly. We weren't bossing the game when he was on, were we

    Whether he's not scored or assisted yet this season, it's a fact that while he is on the pitch, most sides keep two players close to him while he's on, which creates more space for our other players.

    Yet the opposition have to sacrifice at least two players to keep an eye on him defensively, because his pace is something you just cant afford to risk ignoring.

    He goes off, and the pressure lifts, and those marking him can think about being a problem themselves. Its easy to look at the stats column as the sole outlet

    Preston have controlled the game comfortably since he went off. We have limited threat without him.

    Smyth score for QPR.

    Another ex-player scoring today. Joins Jack Payne, Mason Burstow, Chem Campbell and Thierry Small.
