QPR v Leeds Utd - Post Match Discussion

[DDB220]

We looked like 11 strangers playing for the first 30 minutes. No closing down of any meaningful intent, they had so much space to gain confidence on the ball. I was astounded how easily they played around us. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse it somehow did.

Need to recover from this quickly.

I’m fairly resigned to staying in the Champs next season, we won’t go up playing like this and if we do, we will be taken apart by Prem teams, we won’t be able to afford the marquee players we need. Sadly. Just hope we can hang on to Rutter, Joseph and Firpo(!) and rebuild a solid side as well drilled as QPR were.

Yes. I’m coming to stay next week. Remember?

ok Dave I'm in Moldova

So what happened between Monday night and today?

The wife said 2 things tonight. I rarely listen tbh but anyway:
1. Some of your players don’t look up for it.
2. Do you really want to be in the Premier League.
Thanks the wife now go and get me 2 Weetabix. No f**k it get me 3.

Self-harming with fiber is no way to handle this.

Not much really you can say.

Looked a poorly coached and badly set up team of strangers with no idea who is meant to be where.

Passive and negative out of possession, slow and static in possession.

Then some ineffective subs to top it off.

Re: DDB’s comment re: posters “coming alive” when we’re losing. I think a lot of it has to do with several of us naturally trying to find a solution to a clear problem…and given the thorough dismantling that we just suffered through, this only amplified that tendency.

Personally I’ve feared this for some time as it’s been trending in this direction for weeks. We’ve just been fortunate to have results go reasonably well. The dip in form has been apparent for a while (my eyes have shown this…and Cjay’s stats have backed this up). Rotation, earlier subs, etc. many of us on here have been trying to come up with ideas on what DF needs to be doing in order to get us back on track. Sadly, many of us were ridiculed for doing this (yes, trying to problem solve how we can get our dear Leeds unstuck) and how we are Farke haters, etc. and some are overly relying on stats, etc.

Think Ipswich losing tomorrow might be the worst result for my sanity

I've a feeling we may have something to play for v Southampton. Sky won't like a nothing to play for final day...

I said in January we'd pared back the squad too far. My guess is we have a few players carrying injuries, some illness recently and we've had injured players sitting on the bench, imo, but can't prove that

Squad management has been very poor

As I have explained

Good luck to him with that task.
Been a bit of a slide downwards since that dreaded international break. See it in sport sometimes. The indefinable thing that is form.
Oh god the BBC news just showed the 2nd goal from tonight as they announced Lester are promoted. Grim.

[whiteinfrance]

Missed it, sorry

I forgive you

They are gone mate, physically & mentally.

Another season in the championship will do us the world of good

We've moved to coping measures already

Has this ever been the case?

We owe nearly £200mil in fees . . . .

Ipswich lose all 3 and we limp over the line!!!! Believe!!!
