Well played today lads

[alfaranger]

Missed the game today and just picked it up on MOTD2. Dont know what I was expecting really. Had read all the comments on this board and was watching out for SWP being a tryer and unlucky and for SWP being a headless chicken. For Bothroyd being man of the match and for him 'not to be able to hit a cows arse with a banjo' (love that one). For Derry being out of his depth and for the whole team trying. I know it was only highlights so not a true picture but was pleased with the amount of possession we seemed to have and the amount of chances we created (Aware of klr's point re points not performances). Its a shame that we havent anyone more competent than Bothroyd to try and deal with those chances though. Agree that Derry seems to have run his course. Mackie did well and HH probably should have had more of a mention. Would Barton, Faurlin, Adel and Traore made a difference. Yes. We would have won.

[mm2h]

True it was a more spitited performance especially for the first 30 mins. At half time we had had 10 goal attempts to Newcastles 1 ! Yet they only needed one to score.

We never looked like scoring. Even if we had had 50 goal attempts in the game we would not have scored.

Sure we are missing Barton and Faurlin but Barton for sure was not missed.

Bothroyd is total rubbish. SWP run around like a headless checken most of the time. Derry made some awful passes and bottled it on a num ber of tackles after his yellow.

Kenny is performing well below par too.

Mackie runs a lot and never gives up but has not 'finesse'.

And what is it with throw ins. No one ever wants the ball so most times it goes straight to the opposition!

5 wins and 1 draw minimum needed from the next 7 Premiership games or we are back in the Championship for sure.

The table never lies.

So we were playing away from home against one of the biggest clubs in the country and had 10 shots to Newcastle's 1 in the first half and the performances from nearly all our players from a weakened team was rubbish.

Maybe its just me but I just dont understand.
We are in the relegation positions on goal difference.
Have an excellent new manager.
We have money to buy new players.
And we now have a lot of games coming up which should all be winnable for our squad.
This should be an exciting time to be a QPR supporter so lets get behind the team rather than slag them off.
Mark Hughes has had 1 game ffs.

What's the calculation here? You want us to collect 16 in 7 when we did 17 in 21? Seriously?

I'd be happy with 3 wins and 3 draws. With THIS team, oh yes.

UNLESS we bring in a quality CB, an LB, a CM and a striker. Then...maybe. Just maybe.

[Jon Doeman]

Another good post Andy, the sentiment behind it is quite correct,
it's important we as fans don't lose our bottle, bring on Wigan!

[Jon Doeman]

Nice sig BTW Andy, got me! ;D

Andrewqpr no-one can doubt your positive outlook, but you are missing the point a little, we've had this now for weeks not just yesterday, but under warnock too, where we were repeatidly (in his eyes at least) the better team, creating more chances and "deserved to win"...but at the end of the day we've got 1 point in our last 8 matches. We are going to be relegated unless something is done urgently. Saying we are creating chances isn't giving us any more points on the board, of course its more positive than NOT creating chances, but if anything the fact we create so much and score so little just highlights the problem and adds to the frustration. I'd much rather create 1 chance and win 1-0 than do what we did yesterday. Meanwhile swansea and norwich must be laughing at us, both their managers said last season we were not good enough to go up, and they were sadly right

Dont agree with that but if we all thought the same way then posting comments would be boring

Morning Jon.

You are nosey mate

That is true enough I just want the r's to stay up even if it means a couple of "dull" 1-0 wins ;D Lets hope this week gives us all something to be cheery about...mainly some good signings, a win vs mk dons would be a sort of bonus just to remember what its like to win a game!

[Macmoish]

Any QPR fan who berates the players during the game/let alone boos them, I think is slagging them off.
Anybody who tweets a player and berates him, I think is slagging him off.
Some putz (two tweets/two followers) is berating Fernandes (and Fernandes is responding)...Again slagging off.

But I think on a message board giving your opinion about how we played/how good players are, is perfectly legitimate.

I like most of us only saw the game on TV (web) - wonder where that poster is who used to denounce (certain) overseas posters for offering their perspective? Oh yes! - probably draw different conclusions. I saw it. We had shots...But we could have played another hour and more likely Newcastle would have got another than QPR would have equalized. In my opinion... I just didn't think we played well. (Nor do Newcastle. But after the first 15 mins, when we could/should have scored, they were better...)

[Macmoish]

OOPS

Fernandes Tweets

The fact that we had 20 shots on target. Hit the woodwork twice. Good discipline. Buzaky and derry played well. Defense looked solid. And team came off positive.

RT @jbezants: @tonyfernandes what did you find encouraging from the performance of QPR yesterday?

Agree with all of that 100%

[maudesfishnchips]

buz and derry played well??

now that is a worry coming from our chairman who has the money

[Macmoish]

Meanwhile don't worry

Rome wasn't built in a day. Back the boys and they'll come good. Let's raise the roof tomorrow and Saturday and bounce back in style #QPR

Keep the faith #QPR fans. I've seen enough behind-the-scenes this week to have every faith in this group and the new management team #QPR

so what your saying is that its not exceptable to slag off the players on twitter or facebook or at the match but its perfectly fine to do so on a MB?

that makes sense

Yeah it does, the players most likely don't read the MB's. Sending abuse directly to someone is different.

[klr]

If I was earning FIFTY THOUSAND POUNDS A WEEK for doing absolutely f*ck all then I wouldnt be reading messageboards either!

[hitman34]

so much for ric roc on watrb then, his email was all over match of the day, so im guessing mybe some do read these message boards.

[hitman34]

anyhow, im not one for abusing the players as i recognize the effort they put in week after week. its not their fault that they are not good enough.

if they were just standing in the centre circle picking their nose or scratching their arse trust me, i would be the first on here to slag them off. if hughes continuse to pick this team for the next three months and is to subbourn to change then he will feel my wrath. not the players though.

[Macmoish]

Little difference: That was a leak inside the club passing on to RicRoc team news which he published. That was picked up by everyone as NEWS.

OF course the club reads/"monitors' The message boards. But that's for news...

I think it's one hundred percent legitimate to discuss games. Even to say you don't think a player is very good. PERSONALLY I don't abuse any player - not even Paladini signings such as Ugo Ukah and on. Not even Rowan Vine...

"It was great game."
"Yes it was"
Briatore and Hughes are geniuses.:

Ok?

[hitman34]

no need to get sarcastic mac, im all for saying this one cant cut it in this league or that one did not preform today but you only have to look at the bothroyd and swp threds to see some bad personal insults being said.

you either except it or condem it. its abit silly saying its alright to say that crap here but not over there.

anyway thats my op, i will leave it at that.

[Macmoish]

I think for anything there's a difference between sending the player or owner a tweet abusing him. And saying something- even if it's just as nasty (which I personally wouldn't say anyway) on a message board.

[mikehunt]

agreed. well played lads. amazing how that new manager syndrome works out and we ended up with 3 points. you could of wrote the script couldnt you.
