More of the same today from Loftus Road with the continued worry that if we play anyone half decent we will be found out.
Dunne whilst better than against Watford was still suspect and is becoming to look a liability. Green looked to be at fault for their goal and continues to worry me. His distribution also appears suspect. The midfield doesn't seem to operate as a unit with Nikko a passenger for much of the game. Yossi is the only one to appear to have any intelligence and creativity. Morrison flatters to deceive and seems to always wants to beat the extra man. Would like to see Hoillet start, he does seem to make a difference to speed and penetration of attack.
Difficult to see any difference in quality for one team looking to get promoted or one team not to get relegated.
We need Lady Luck to smile on us in the play offs if we continue to perform like this

It was an awful performance from us. At least we had the excuse last manday that Watford actually played.
Today, whiule looking far from good, Millwall were the better side but never really looked like winning the game. It was Millwall that did us a favour in bringing on Jackson for the Austrian centre forward who had won the battle with our centre halves.
Not only did that rob Millwall in an attacking sense but Jackson then needlessly gifted us a penalty. Obviously, Rob Greene felt guilty about winning the match & presented 'wall their point.
I don't think that we had one played who was better than average & the majority were below par.

QPR boss Harry Redknapp: "When you're 1-0 up in the last minute you expect to see the game out. "It's difficult to balance a team and maybe we had too many players who are good when they have the ball and not so good when they haven't got it. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27084043

Please could HR let us know which players looked good when they had the ball?
I didn't see many.

The wind made it difficult to try and get the ball down and play. Millwall were fighting for their lives, we were in 1st gear. Can see why they have won their last 3 away games and are unbeaten in 7. We are due a bit of luck on a big occasion roll on the playoffs. Operation Loftus road was a sucess, I have never seen so many 50 year olds posturing and posing ever!

We were poor but who knows, maybe they will up their game when it matters (probably not but if you don't blurt blind positivity you get shouted down here ) We can't string 2 wins together so as long as we win our first playoff game comfortably we'll be in the prem next season for better or worse.

Was truly a terrible performance. Some of players seemed to be looking after themselves so they either didn't get injured or booked or sent off and miss the Wembley play off final that we haven't even qualified for yet.
Our tactics today totally baffled me. Millwall are a big side and we had 5 players across midfield all under six foot tall and Austin upfront who I suppose must be just about Six foot so I'll tell you what we'll do. Kick it up in the air all afternoon!!!! Why was Benayoun taken off instead of Kranjar? He was the only one at the time who looked like he was going to create something. Barton and Carroll didn't have the best of games just didn't seem to be up to the pace of the game. Simpson also didn't have a good game and the less I say about Richard Dunne in the second half the better.
So overall it was becoming quite a disappointing day performance wise and then up stepped Robert Green to do what we all know he has in his locker. I know some of you will come back and say "think of all the times he's saved us" and your right but I never feel safe until he has the ball securely in his hands. And then when he does his indecision on his distribution is frustrating not only for me but I noticed the players having a go at him about it today.

That's a bit of an insult really JJ. I do think that if I have an opinion that is different to yours on a message board that I should be allowed to express it. You post an opinion and people either agree or disagree and post accordingly. If more people disagree with you than agree is that being 'shouted down', or just being in the minority (of posters who are posting). The thing about message boards is that there is little point in having them if no one posts or worse, that everyone agrees.

Apparently showing support for your team on here is "blurting blind positivity"

A review of a match has to include the good bad and indifferent, imo. Still Rob Greens style of goalkeeping is much different from any other keepers, I have ever seen.

Phew was close. We nearly snatched a win from the jaws of a draw. Harry is still looking for balance? FFS, He's had 45 games thuse far to find it. UnF***en believable. Only at QPR.

More me not being allowed to express mine I love how everyone who saw the game thought we were terrible and has posted as such, but it's only me who gets called a negative numpty

As long as its not personal everyone has an opinion. We all see games differently and for some the glass is half empty and for others half full.
This season I've been a half empty man as performances week in have been poor and often wins have been against the run of play. I can't remember the last time when I came away feeling that we had 'played well'.

I'm in the half full category myself, but cant come to games so haven't experienced the disappointing games week in week out.
Having said that I don't think we will make it through because I just don't see us stringing a number of wins together but would be over the moon to be proved wrong.

Thought the game definitely had an 'end of term' feeling to it.
We've played worse, and we've played a lot better.
Got to get our best 11 out and playing together for Barnsley. To my mind that has to include starts for Traore and Hoilett - Krancjar, bench at best (and even then I'm still not convinced...)

I'm a glass half full person because I find it amazing that we could have played so poorly for most of the season and still be in contention for promotion!!!
