Cheers Northolt. In a bizarre way, this loss my boost confidence enough to give Stoke and Norwich and WBA problems over the next 3 games. Anyone fancy 9 points?!!
I think 5 points from those 3 games would be a great return and not out of the question. Stoke seem to have hit a bit of a sticky patch in the PL so there's chances...
thought it was a gr8 game, well played QPR, just when it looked man city could score at will, HH scored and made it an interesting finish
thats probably the first time i've come away from loftus road after a defeat feeling good about the team & performance, so deserved something out of that match, that is the team we should stick with in forthcoming games.
A Real boost in confidence for the players as well as us fans we played like we deserved to be there,we just need that intencity when we play the lesser teams 5/6 points fron the next 3 games will set us up nicely for the Liverpool and Utd games.
I don't think we could have played any better, what a fantastic game of football that was! Certainly worth a draw but if I'm honest the quality of Citeh told towards the end, helped on by their immense range of substitutes. It was so funny watching us do the Poznan goal celebrations when we scored. I think Warnock has got a lot of thinking to do now, you could see how effective Barton & Faurlin were in the middle of the park and we didn't seem to miss Adel at all. Is a conventional 4-4-2 what we need to stick to? It certainly worked for most of the game against MC and it was only a couple of errors that saw us miss out on a point or even three. Well done QPR and well done to the fans, it was the best atmosphere at Loftus Road for ages.
Was a great performance and the crowd played its part aswell. Was glad to see so many fans stay and applaud the boys off at the final whistle. Shame Stoke is not next week.
Yes, Helguson was immense in the air, and once again teamed up well with Bothroyd. SWP, always tricky with his footwork, seemed to be continually slipping on the turf - perhaps he should have changed studs? As for attacking options on the bench, apart from Tommy Snith, we were obviously limited, but I thought Puncheon contributed absolutely nothing as a sub, and sincerely hope that he returns to Southampton when his loan term expires (if not sooner). Traore had great runs down the wing, although from good tactical positions, his crosses into the goal area were poor at times, and Helguson/Bothroyd really need that service to strut their stuff.
At times Traore's crossing was poor, one lead to a City goal. But he also made the goal that Bothroyd headed in off HH, and I thought he did well defensively yesterday
