    It’ll be rapidly forgotten if we lose or even draw at Luton but you can’t be unhappy with that performance tonight. Proper away performance against a team with subs on more than anyone we have.

    After so much misery piled on to us poor QPR fans, week after week after week, for the last several months, surely you've got to enjoy nights like tonight?

    I think that is because we are trying to play good expansive football, but don't have the players to finish it, or to defend well, but think we are getting better there. Plus the squad is thin. That is very tiring both physically and mentally, and when we have many young players, some like Willock and Chair to a lesser extent who can't last more than 70 minutes, plus old ones like Albert and Cameron who generally fade 2nd half, Albert dont last that long, it isn't surprising we often can't keep the level of play we manage 1st halves going all game.

    But anyways we defended well for our point today, and should have won it at the end there. 5 3 2 was another successfull change from Warburton. Dieng, Dickie, Cameron and Barbet were all f***** heroes back there. Dickie my MOM. But can we sell Dykes back to Scotland?

    There are people on here that would say that Dykes to score was 118/1 on its own.

    I figured if we score at all it’ll probably be a penalty :headbang:

    And this is the issue lose to Luton and everyone calls for MWs head, Norwich game is forgotten, win the game and we are great ! I personally think we are a very good team and need a manager to fulfill this, not just for for 45 minutes

    We definitely aren’t a very good team. We’ve got half a team of capable players in Dieng, Dickie, Carroll, Chair and Bright and a few others who can be good but often aren’t and then Kane and Ball who increasingly resemble competition winners.

    We went for a point, literally parked the bus for the majority of the 2nd half yet could have snatched it at the death. Not an enjoyable game to watch. One team wanted to win and the other team didnt want to lose. That about sums it up

    We didn’t literally park the bus.

    Unless you mean the actual bus which it would be silly not to park.

    It sounds as though Warburton tried 3-4-3, so fair play to him for trying something different.

    Looked like 5 3 2 to me, certainly lined up like that at the start. Sinton confirmed. Kane and Nico played a lot more withdrawn than against Swansea. BOS was up front with Dykes, both ineffective, except after the changes near the end when BOS realised he could run at them a bit wider than he had been. Dont remember an effort on target until well into the 2nd half when Ball headed straight at their debutant sub Keeper.

    Chair as you'd expect got forward more from midfield than Ball and Carroll, but didn't look like he was playing in a front 3 to me from the stream, nor did I hear that from our Commentsaors. We defended excellently, but had little up front. BOS Pen was probably compensation for theirs, both looked dives to me on 1st seeing at least. We need good strikers in from somewhere next week. BOS is at his best played wide, Dykes and Bonne dont look up to it, think they have still managed only 3 goals from open play all season.

    Fair enough. I didn't see it and was going on what some others described as 3 up front.
    Sounds like it was quite fluid anyway which is good.

    It was three up front. 5-2-3. It worked well, me thinks!

    But he was well well wide of the posts in any sport I can think of. It probably landed on a car park in Ipswich.

    BOS received a really nasty tweet, suggesting death to his family and parents...from a disgruntled "fan" who had bet money on the match.

    It is unclear whether he was upset at BOS for winning and scoring the penalty ..or missing at end...I hope it was not a Rs fan...
    Regardless it's absolutely disgusting..and shows what a foot baller has to put up with.
    I hope he takes it to thepolice
