My Gawd , Derry in again , unbelievable after watching the lst 3-4 games Derry has been in , it doesnt work !

Gabbidon on the bench , Young must think why the f he signed for us with Fitz Fall etc around him , a really weak defence maybe we are going to play our strong team against Arsenal .

wheres DJ off to ?

[Macmoish]

DJ: Has to be an injury/sickness...

On the other hand, we have won some of our other games away, with what looked like a weak team.
I just know if Shittu was in the 25 squad instead of Perone, I'd be playing him, with what we've got.

[hitman34]

5-4-1 AGAIN loooooooooool

warnock is cluless, get him out fernandez

[Macmoish]

Taarabt hat trick today!

[harlowranger]

Well we won at Everton with a weak team but got beat by Bolton and Wigan with one and i dont see a point from these two away games with this defence , but i'm probably wrong .
Meanwhile Wolves if hold out for 15 mins with 10 men chuck us down to 17 th .

Derry has failed in that position for 4-5 games now , surely that place can be filled to better use , ie SWP or Bothroyd on actually going for the win as it wont come at Arsenal.

[Macmoish]

Step One: Let's not concede a goal in the first few minutes.
Step Two: don't let Graham or Sinclair or Lita score.
Step Three: BARTON: LET TAARABT Take some free kicks

[maudesfishnchips]

Step 4: pass to yoyr own team mate barton

[harlowranger]

Step 4 a ,looks like we are 4th from bottom .

[blandy]

lets have Tommy on if it aint working , cause at least he knows where the goal is

[mikehunt]

campbells mystery 'virus' back or what? sicknote, been a terrible signing for us.
thank god gabbidons been sussed out.
oh and derry? blimey, warnock is going all out for the attacking football to try and beat the team with who dont let goals in.

[blandy]

to me its look like warnock is just desperate to get to the window.........so gabbidon is now dropped , so is he now a bad signing who becomes surplus to requirements in january??...........no.....clint out of position .....?............ok here we go ............

[mikehunt]

proof adels dead ball skills are no better than bartons.

[Lonegunmen]

Great Helguson alone against a 6 man defence. Playing for a draw?

[NZ Ranger]

F*******ck!

[mikehunt]

so shite.
relegation is a dead cert.

[blandy]

truly awful defending

[saphilip]

Pathetic defending - 3 QPR players vs Graham and he beat them - in fact used them to score the goal. Did the ball touch his arm? Possibly but it is no excuse for an excuse of a defence.

So do people still think that I'm over reacting??

[saphilip]

Considering that of all the bottom teams only Bolton & Wigan lost these past 2 days - and looking at the latest league table - and you would have thought the team would have understood the gravity of the situation. Apparently not.

[NZ Ranger]

We're always just hanging in on defence whereas Swansea look way more comfortable & hold their ground.

[blandy]

i honestly dont think any of them realise the importance of games like this.......these are 6 pointers............we are gonna get F*** all at arsenal.......pull your fingers out and start wearing the shirt with a bit of pride and committment

[mikehunt]

they all crap themselves in defence every time the ball comes anywhere near them.
oh well at least warnock can moan about the handball on telly and every media publication rather than the real problems.

[mikehunt]

painfull to watch. this is the game if youre a neutral fan of the prem that youd take the dog for a walk when it came on cos its so unnatractive a fixture.
derry is so off the pace its untrue.
17 million man is trying but still giving the ball away too much, and adel has proved why nobody on the planet would have him other than us.
barton invisible apart from shot.
helguson and mackie should of took deck chairs.

[blandy]

i struggle to comprehend how a bunch of players, including a few of far greater quality than the swansea team, can play with such a lack of passion and creativity.........this is a team who we battered last year ( give or take a couple)............no passion, ....this is QPR you F***ing bunch of muppets.......pull your fingers out of your overpaid ar$es and start playing with somne pride

[harlowranger]

As soon as i saw Derry on the teamsheet i knew what was coming !
Negative, negative and even more negative .
If NW keeps playing Derry we will be down in March not May !

[RoryTheRanger]

This match is dire.

[jayrigg]

Not sure about the formation, with just HH on his own.I think we need to change that 2nd half,we have had chances,but i reckon NW has got to start using DJ soon.



cheers,


Jay

I'm not sure what commentary everybody else is getting but there was a telling discussion between the 2 pundits at around the 35 min mark. They both said that QPR were lethargic, disinterested and lacklustre - and figured that the impeding sale and / or release of half the team in Jan is likely to be the reason for it.

I think they have hit the nail on the head - the team is so absolutely disinterested that it is almost as though nobody wants to play for QPR - a total contrast to 12 months ago.

Make no mistake Swansea are total and utter crap but are so much better than us at the moment. That tells you how abysmal our team is at the moment.

I'm not sure how the team is goi9ng to get over it's current sitaution but doubtful goal aside we deserve to be where we are at the moment.

[NZ Ranger]

If there were a like button for forum posts saphilip, I'd be hitting it. Right in the money.

Shaun Derry, 4 not any where good enough
Fitz Hall, 4 getting turned like a vinyl record
Adel Taarabt, 6 trying very hard, can make a difference
Alejandro Faurlin, 3 PASS THE FUC#@ing BALL TO ONE OF YOUR TEAM MATES (ARE YOU COLOURED BLIND)
Jamie Mackie, 6 working hard
Armond Traore, 4 not in the game really
Joey Barton (capt), 4 the foul throw and miss passes sums his game up
Luke Young, 5 getting forward well
Heidar Helguson 7 always a danger, key player today
