Match Day Thread FA Cup QPR v Blackburn

We played one of those teams today...................and lost.

 

I know as I was writing I thought about that. They beat Newcastle as well didn't they?

 

Here's your Brother Ellers.

It is slowly happening before our eyes and some of us don't even realise it. Shocking.

Welcome back Ellers.

 

They parked the bus against the Toon. They didn't have to with us!!

 

They are **** though. We were equally bad today but they got an own goal and one that looked about three yards offside. If Cilla was up front we'd probably have won.

 

I thought if I left the country for 4 weeks when I came back it would all have been a bad dream but sadly I am not Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.

 

I admire your optimism Wats. From where I was sat we were absolute pants.

 

They played with 2 strikers. We played with none. Apart from that it was 2 poor midfields slugging it out for control of the middle third of the pitch. Shame Eze got injured, he looked very confident on the ball. Been trying to explain to my sons what 'concentrating on the league' means..

 

We were.

 

Well, not quite Watford. He did elbow the 'keeper in the nose! That did have a bit of an effect on who won the ball!

 

Another stupid comment from Hollow....! "That team will never be picked again". Sorry but a manager doesn't ever say stuff like that and tbh if we get injuries then maybe he has no choice. He should keep his stupid comments quiet. What a good way to instill confidence into the team.

 

We are selling half of them to China. We got a portion of prawn crackers for Perch.

 

Are we selling Hollow.... to China?

Finally home after another disgraceful performance..Hard to find any positives out of a game that felt and looked like a testimonial,Eze looked like he may have some promise,silky touch and a bit of flair,shame he got injured.
Mackie worked tirelessly and never gave up..there the only scant positices imo.
Overall it was a gutless,half hearted,passionlesd,inept performance which hopefully after a few Hobgoblins and a chicken jalfrezi will melt away in the past..Thats the last time i foolishly purchase an FA cup ticket for the Hoops..The FA cup aint what it was#death throes

 

His comments are definitely a worry, even if we might agree with them, you can't alienate a whole swathe of your squad like that.

 

So just back. A nothing match.
Their first goal was unfortunate...Ingrams punched, when in old times he would have caught....the ball pinnioned of Lynch...who knew nothing about it.
There second was a breakaway when we were on the front foot looking for an equaliser. Cousins shouldave/couldave equalised ..but did we actually want that???

I said we couldn't win without a proper forward but later on I realised that it was service from the midfield that was the problem...there was none. Shidopo came on and at last we had some drive and penetration..As said Cousins should have equalised....If I had been on the pitch I probably would have. Mackie did run and run and run and run...

Eze pulled up at 17 minutes , never saw what caused it, other than the "QPR3rd round injury" curse...???hamstring??

We need a creative midfielder and a couple of goalscorer..

So sat in lower loft...with loads of kids ...it was nice...I liked the friendly nice atmosphere, the kids screaming for their team. The next generation...

Today I sat next to a comic, who peppered me with "one-liners" all the way though the match. "Beth want a a second hand broken quiz machine, fell of back if a lorry..if you want it ...no questions asked"......I really did suffer today!!!

 

Im so glad I didnt take my youngest today,there was nothing that would inspire him to go again.
Half empty stadium and absolutely nothing to inspire him.
QPR and flair used to go hand in hand.

 

After that debacle,my big fear is that they offer us a free ticket for the next match .

 

Last time I went to Loftus Road for a cup game it was against MK Dons when we were in the Prem...
