Match Day Thread The Official Match Day Thread - QPR v Newcastle

8 points. Another clean sheet. Unbeaten. Sure we were ****, but at least we are **** and able to keep a clean sheet nowadays.

Progress!

 

Good point that's a place a few teams will lose I suspect we had a hard time but got through

 

Just stop playing Shola!

 

Can't wait to see how Pardew tries to find the positives in that absolute mess of a performance!
For ratings i'd say:

Krul - 6
Simpson - 8
Saylor - 7
Colo - 6
Raylor - 3
Obertan - 7
Tiote - 5
Cabaye - 6
Gutierrez - 6
Shola - 3
Best - 6

Marveaux - 6
Ba - 6
Sammy - 6

In short, only really Simmo and Saylor stood out, other than that, everyone looked pretty average

 

lucky point and a good point for the table ! they were better than us , and we didnt really know what we wanted ! at the end it was just a mish mash for us ! No one to aim for and no one to lead ! Im sure we will improve for Villa !

 

... Next up Villa(A), Forrest in the cup and Blackburn(H)..

How many points should WE be getting??? I'll be happy enough with 4!

 

Good things to take out of this game. Clean Sheet. Again. CL Place, except we haven't really earned it. We need Best to play most of the game, but a new striker. It is very clear how we need a new striker. Santon will be pissed off at not playing (not a good thing). Hopefully he starts against Villa. He was woeful. Only 4.5 days til the Villa game. Best played well, so did Simmo(not as much in the second half), Colo and Saylor. Krul had nothing to deal with but when he had to, he did. Good kicking aswell from him. We should've started with 3 midfielders and then brought on Ba to accompany Best. Cabaye was lost without a Gosling, or Marveaux to play with him. In 8 days, Ben Arfa will play against Forest. Obertan was good first half, not so much in the second. Gutierrez has to start on the bench next match - he looked off the pace for the third match running, and I reckon someone like Sameobi/even maybe Lovenkrands, to play there.

 

sorry mate but look at their team 2 good players about 4 prem class the rest CCC players it's a ****ing disgrace that we decided to attack in the 80th minute and their defence looked worse than ours when we did,piss poor team and tactics from pardew ****ing well angry with that never mind a lucky point it's more like 2 lost due to our ****ing manager...... shocking

 

We need to start playing Ba and Best upfront, they just need more games to gel.
We have no goals in this team..

 

In seasons gone by we'd have lost. We helped QPR play well. How bad were Tiote and R Taylor? Obertan was poor on the wing, needs to be in the centre to look threatening. Overall a point gained all things considered.

 

And how many shots did we have out of interest?

 

since when were QPR a poor side ? they have a good vibe around that place at the moment and it was never going to be easy ! Also they have some good players with , Barton , SWP and Terrabbt .

 

here, DRRRRRRRRRRY UP WILL YIS

 

+ a million

 

4 points from those 2 games and we'll probably still be in the top 6!

 

Good result, considering the awful performance. Shola once again proves why he shouldn't be picked. I though Obertan was poor also, didn't track back at all and offered nothing going forward, I would drop him for the next game. Simmo was much better IMO, hopefully a sign of things improving with him.

Pardew needs to get out of this fixation with 4-4-2 though, we were completely dominated in midfield largely due to QPR's extra midfielder.

 

Thinking about it, we played most of that game with 8 players (Tiote, Shola and Raylor were ****e), and we still got a clean sheet! Bloody lucky they have Bothroyd up front though!

 

Keep up the 2 points per game ratio and we'll have 76 points come the end of the season... Enough for second place last season

 

Woeful performance but still got a point. QPR were well up for this game, and Taarabt to be fair tonight was brilliant. Made some players look like lemons. But as has been said previously, we would have lost that in days gone by. Another clean sheet is a brilliant effort. We have to improve significantly for the Villa game, because they won't be so wasteful.

 

The only positive was the point.

Raylor, Tiote, Obertan, Shola and Best(second half) were quite awful.

I liked Marv and Sammie when they came on, showed some good runs and touches.
