Could be a long season. Not getting any points even when we play well Frustrating for sure. I really thought we had this one.

Long, long season with a default setting of trying to draw. Bad tactics.

At least Carayol sounds like he's making himself known in the short time he's had.

I don't think you can accuse him of that in this game. He's made a kind for kind with all 3 subs. So Wells a midfielder or is Carayol a striker? It looked to me, that he took off a striker and brought on a midfielder, just before we conceded again. My mistake, you're correct. But Carayol is an attacking winger I thought.

Full time, 0-1. Again, Powell goes defensive at 0-0 late on and we end up losing. Same old....

Depends how you look at it I guess. He's brought two attack minded players on but taken off our player most likely to score

Absolutely had it with Powell now. Negative and defensive. Time for a change or else league 1 awaits

Explain how it means Powell is playing for the draw, and justify it, and I will address your preposterous notion Taking off a striker to bolster midfield is a defensive reshape, not an attacking one. It did not increase our attack, it decreased it - It also didn't work again. The substitution creates a different channel in which we can attack. Football isn't as black and white as you seem to think it is. Taking a striker and replacing him with an attacking winger is not a defensive substitution, it is Powell doing all he can to attack QPR in a different way. Before the game you were calling for us to start with 5 in midfield. Please in future Marcus, take some time to think about what you have previously posted, and try to consider why managers make particular changes. Blaming this loss on replacing Wells with Carayol is so so abstract in the way you claim it

Can't believe we lost that. The goal QPR scored hurt me so much I kicked two chairs in front of me and punched two to the left of me. We were in the ascendancy. Don't normally react like that but damn I feel proper gutted tonight

Blaming this loss on replacing Wells with Carayol is so so abstract Wrong. I wanted 4-4-2 with whitehead being sacrificed for Bunn or Carayol. Please in future, take some time to read what people have posted before having a pop. Oggy has it as a 4-3-3. I think I'd rather see a 4-4-2 with Crayola or Bunn on the left in the place of Whitehead. Edit - said right wing, not left.

Heartbreaking but we never ever looked like scoring. We are toothless in attack. Wells and Miller have to be the worst front 2 I've seen in a long time. We desperately need a new striker

Think you need to see my history... I just disagree with ridiculously negative people who seem to lap up a defeat... If your criticism had substance then it might be different. I've no opinion on the game, didn't listen, didn't go...

What about this: You fuck off and start your own dream team. 4-4-2 every Saturday, playing for the win every Saturday, 3 points every Saturday. It's that easy. Find 11 dickheads like yourself. Go culture yourself mate - your negativity spoils football. Get in the fucking sea

How brave are we? Are we happy to cling on to a point and probably get punished late on or do we have a go anyway and try to get all 3 Got the late punishment bit correct

Thought it was a poor game both teams lacked cutting edge, they got lucky!

I think the bottom 4 as it is now will be the 4 teams down there all season, MK and Preston might get sucked in as their confidence disappears, just hope we end up on the right side of the dotted line

Not a bad effort and deserved a point. But we were poor up front. If Vaughan is off the scene we need to bring in a quality forward. In fact I'm pretty certain we will.
Miller is NOT a first choice striker at this level. He's an impact player from the bench. And wells looked very poor today
Must get wins very quickly now if we are to achieve our expected upper mid table finish.
The table is starting to look worrying.

Whitehead was comfortably my man of the match today. Any criticism coming his way is just plain wrong. The manager really needs to sort out the attacking play now though. When we broke forward the midfield just sat deep and offered no support and for that reason we never looked like scoring. We tested Green twice all game. With the amount of possession we had that isn't good enougg

So now your having a go because I suggested 4-4-2, when previously you were having a pop because you wrongly assumed I wanted 4-5-1. Priceless. So you agree with Powell's formation then and disagree that 4-4-2 may have worked a bit better? How did we get on with Powell's non 4-4-2 then? Are you happy with another loss, just to avoid any negativity?

I disagree Jonny, and yes I went today. Whitehead and Hogg offer no attacking threat at all. Both defensive midfielders. Whitehead has been dreadful, he only seems capable of passing the ball backwards. Dempsey got a load of assists last season for Carlisle, and chipped in with 10 goals or so too. What is the point in signing a player like that and not giving him a game at all?! Miller can barely last for an hour. This is a guy that struggled to get into Blackpool's team before we signed him. Hiwula scored goals last season, Lolley has performed brilliantly every time he's started for town. You see where I'm going?! I could write more but it's just making me angry! .

listened on RL today...recurring theme was poor passing in the crucial areas(up front) ..and only one shot on target, all game...at home ? the other 13 shots missed the target. To me, Wells sounds like a luxory we can't afford,and with vaughan out and Miller chugging away .. we need a goal scorer...with a cool head..notjust kicking it at defenders legs.. Our 8 corners didn't sound to be doing much either. Defensively, well 6 goals conceded in 5 games isn't bad...but we should be scoring at least 3 per 2 games (70 a season) but we've notched just 3 in 5 games..that's the worry, does Powell have enough about him to make us more potent up top. Anyway, time to regroup for 2 weeks..still 41 games to go..so no panic..yet. enjoy the international break ....and hopefully a new striker .

Going to be a very long season unless we do something about it. Dominating games and not finishing the opposition off, we was unlucky today but how many times can we say that we were unlucky! 5 games in and no win hmmm

How on earth can you say Whitehead was dreadful??? We nullified an ex premier league team all game bar a 5 minute spell due to our play. I agree we shouldn't be so defensive at home but to single Whitehead out is plain daft.
