Well - We are still outta the relegation zone by the skin of our teeth tonight...
I think we will be lucky not to be there when WBA rock up on Mothering Sunday and I don’t see them mothering us either -
Watch West Bromwich Albion have more shots than the two that they had tonight at Loftus Road...
And watch us have less than the 19 shots and 19 that QPR mustered up tonight -
We are in bloody trouble - not critical trouble - but still bloody trouble nonetheless I’m afraid ! 😬

Maybe it’s not a ‘top six squad’. You wouldn’t know what a top 6 championship squad looked like you chicken shagger. He wouldn’t even know what the championship looked like, it’s that long since they were in it it was still called the first division. |

Danny Ward shouldn’t be starting games; get Burgzorg up top and bring Koroma onto the wing; Burgzorg isn’t a winger.
Wiles shouldn’t be starting either; can’t believe Matos didn’t start.
Rudoni needs to get his head screwed on

Still can’t fathom why we don’t play Thomas, Burgzorg and Koroma up top? They just seem to play well together. The odd mistake now and again, but you’d forgive them for that, rather than the pensive stuff we saw tonight. A frustrating side to support just now, absolutely zero consistency… Said it before, we still dont have a dominant centre forward or even a quick, goslscoring one. Thomas, Burgzog, Koroma front 3.. Rudoni furthest forward central midfield, with Matos and Kasumu behind. Spencer Helik, Balker(if he ever plays) Headley. Rest are subs.. Pitch was too big tonight, gaps between front and middle and middle and back too big. Put the legs on the pitch, get as much pace as you can on the pitch and make it smaller. Get up and compact it, give us the chance to win it and play shorter, easier passes forward. Let those who can run with it fucking do so, too many 40 yard passes tonight. Our strength is playing where the ball is, wether we have it or not. Its another game where nothing much happened, just enough to lose it. |

Some serious overreactions here. Were we good, no not at all but we just about edged a poor game away from home against a team above us. Rudoni has a useless header from 4 yards and Ward somehow missed the ball entirely with the goal at his mercy. They take their one chance. Fine lines. On the balance of play any result could have occurred. Can think of many a game this season where on the balance of play the only result realistically possible was a Town loss. Nichols had a few saves to make, their keeper didn’t dirty his gloves. He threw his cap on a couple of scuffers yeah. |

What everybody on this forum must remember is we cant play that bad when we are in a relegation scrap as now there can be little or no room for error
We had an opportunity to pull away from the scrap tonight but we ended up playing into the hands of the teams we are scraping with
Losing is one thing but for more or less every town player on the field to play such crap is unacceptable

You wouldn’t know what a top 6 championship squad looked like you chicken shagger. Or a top half league 2 side even In fairness to Bilo, he has seen more top half League 2 sides this season than we have in the last 20 years. |

Looks like Cartwight did a great job, striker wise, in the January transfer window. £2m plus on 2 strikers. One who doesn't look up for a battle and one who probably won't play again this season. Still woefully short upfront. Healey back on the grass and due back with the squad in a few weeks according to André T Think most of the team has been on the 'grass ' tonight!! |

I don't think the side AB selected or the tactics chosen were the main problem (and I speak as someone who suggested a 433.
The players just looked knackered.

Rudoni needs to get his head screwed on I know Burgzorg has shown some great quality in games this season but this evening he was more of a hindrance. Id be having doubts about selecting him at all on Sunday morning based on that. |

Hogg's poor passing and slowing us down cost us tonight. You could say he was non-existant. Still did more than Wiles |

Did the coach driver run over a kitten as they were pulling into the ground? That was a bizarre performance. Absolutely abject and devoid of any effort whatsoever.

Think people are getting a bit carried away. It is one bad performance from three under the new manager, off the back of a tough game with 10 men for much of it. Even then we statistically were competing and really could have got a point. Definitely need to be back at it against WBA though. That's 4 points from 3 games which would see us get a comfortable mid table finish over the whole season |

I can never understand how so many players can have an off day at the same time. One of two fair enough but that game was littered with mistakes from almost every player. |

Maybe but we will have to be better than 3 other teams. Perspiration not inspiration is how we have won games/points, as soon as the new bloke accepts that he will pick the team accordingly and try to get them to do the simple things more often and quicker. If we are 'tired' then everyone else is, its not an acceptable excuse. 3 days after playing 90 minutes isnt an excuse, maybe doing 7x12 hour shifts and being tired is??? If we are more tired than other teams the fitness staff want a bollocking or worse?? |

Tends to happen when we’re away from home. Seem to completely drop our standard just because we’re in a different ground. |

I would not play Mr greedy again...he's just a self centred sod and not a team player..Delano plays for Delano Stick with him and its curtains Clearly unbalances the side because no one has a clue what he's going to do when he has the ball...not what we need in this situation |

Overall we didn't play great at all. Too slow and sloppy in possession and too many players a bit off it. Spencer is probably knackered with playing 70 minutes whilst being ill and was due a poorer performance. wiles made less impact than I did just watching on red button and stroking my dog. Rudoni never quite seemed to get properly going. Sorba good in flashes but was heavily marked and a bit sloppy. Lees needs to be dropped on Sunday, abysmal passing and did nowt to make up for it. Burgzorg was poor but also never had that bit of look that he needs. Ward put in a typical Ward performance of running and fuck all else and then also missed a sitter. Headley played well when he came on and both him and Matos need to start for Wiles and Lees. Be great to have Balker back and hopefully this is just the odd bad game that won't show its face again for some time. Still think we'll stay up, onwards and upwards UTFT

Bar Helik from corners, Burgzorg has been our main attacking outlet all season. 1 good game, 1 bad game. He’s inconsistent but that’s why he’s at Town. He’s just as likely to score Sunday and win us the game than to put in a shocker imo. |

It wouldn’t be Town without some bumps in the road. Watch us slap Carlos’ bobbly face 4-0 on Sunday. It would be quite apt to get an early goal, sit back, time waste at every opportunity, get Nicholls booked for even more time wasting and then win 1-0. |

Yes he's frustrating, but more often than not he's a breath of fresh air. |
