I thought we deserved a point from that game. 14 attempts on goal and only 1 on target is part of the problem.

I got this text from my mate who works at our training ground during the game ...

'Was talking at the training ground yesterday and a lot of the blame is being pointed at Ferdinand's replacement Ben Williams. Apparently he has a military background and is trying to change everything. '

Ben Williams ... QPR FC | QPR appoint Director of Performance

Nines, thanks for this info, as I was not aware that we had appointed a Director of Performance.

A simple definition of “performance” is: “Someone's or something's performance is how successful they are.”

For us, it is not exactly rocket science. We are performing very badly. We need to stop conceding a multitude of goals and need to start scoring ourselves, plus hopefully more than one in a blue moon.

Where do I have to send my invoice for this piece of invaluable insight and consulting advice?

Yes, yesterday we played quite well. We may have, perhaps even should have, won had we not let in two quick fire goals, or scored more goals ourselves. But unfortunately, we lost again.

We are in a very long trend (our “performance”) of bad results.

You can’t keep enduring this so-called ‘bad luck’ for this amount of time. You make and create your own ‘good luck’ with what you have in the right way and it does turn around.

GA is doing nothing of that. Loads of good comment and advice on here, week after week. No rocket science. No stupid selections. No ramming square pegs in round holes. No delusional thoughts on games. Just get the players playing in their best positions with honest graft and do the basics to your full ability. FFS, this is the worst I can remember for an awful long time.
Come on guys … you need to change it!!
Please!

Just seen the statistics: 14 shots 1 on target.

FFS - do we actually practice anything in training or are there no goal posts at the training ground and we shoot aimlessly.

One more game for GA, without a reasonable performance, then I'm changing my vote to bade for him to leave, not that the board actually listen to the fans!

I agree that this stat is very painful. The absolute minimum expectation of any “footballer” is to be able to kick the ball straight.

When a profesional footballer shoots on goal, he should hit the target. The best shot of all time is useless if not on target. It if the most basic of football “basics”.

We're waiting till all the decent options to replace him are snapped up , and then we'll make our move and appoint Ramsey till the end of the season ! At which point I'll be taking 500 tramadol washed down with a bottle of Remy Martin !
Done the tramadol with lager by accident once
Not recommended

Might be fun with Remy Martin though

Like most in their early twenties I went through the Poker phase, not heavy but enough to pass the time.

I eventually learnt that hanging on to the duff hand was pointless, that the flop probably wasn't going to produce a 3 and 9 to match my hand and let me win with 2 pair.

Our substitutions remind me of this blond optimism...

"Maybe these 4 kids with 6 sub appearances & no goals between them, being played in positions they dont know and all possible service now off the pitch may somehow pull off a full house in the 2 remaining minutes"
 
Hilariously tragic! I've never been so pissed off with our club. Ainsworths tactics are quite extraordinary and unexplainable. I don't think I've ever thought of a QPR manager so clueless.
Tragically true Bob. Those substitutions were crazy. Can’t believe he thought putting Smyth in for Armstrong would strengthen us. We were losing FFS. Dixon-Bonner for Colback? Really. Kolli for Adomah? Where’s the logic. It’s beyond me. He made us worse after the substitutions - when we needed to keep the pressure on them to have any hope of getting an equaliser. It’s bad enough we can’t score with our starting eleven; we have even less chance with his changes I’m afraid.
it does seem the team are losing it with him too. Kakay’ s spats becoming regular. Armstrong losing it at his substitution. The youngsters are putting it out there. I suspect the older heads are keeping their powder dry awaiting the inevitable sacking ahead.

Kakay will no doubt be out for the next game but he's pretty crap anyway. He had a spat with Ainsworth at Leeds and was dropped for a left back. To me, from what I've seen live and on TV, the players seem fed up of Ainsworth. I really do wonder what goes on in training. All he banged on about was intensity. Well that was clearly lacking for the first 45 mins. As you say, his substitutions were quite unbelievable and unnecessary. He's playing a guessing game at the expense of the whole club. What a bizarre appointment he has been. Clueless from all parties.

Regardless of how good or not players are...we need all players playing hard to get into team. Not having spats with the boss

I never expected much from Ainsworth tactically, but I thought that at least he would get the players motivated and all pulling together. The opposite now seems to be true and I really can't see why the board haven't acted.
