    Tough to find the positives today.

    We're in the play offs and where there's life there's hope.

    Le Fee can play 10x better than this, as can a few others.

    Mundle and Alese to come back.

    Please, please sort the tempo out though. Just too slow atm.

    Was talking to a cov fan midweek and they don't like lampard, he says he thought boro would beat them today.
    He also said they weren't playing good and it's only the ****e teams in the division that they are where they are, I told him they have a voodoo sign on us but he wouldn't have it. Says they would rather play sheff UTD, (so would I)

    More points under Lampard but every underlying metric has gotten worse since sacking Robins (although I still think that was the right decision)

    It’s **** I always try to find the positives in everything I always do. I love what RLB has done this season but I can’t lie to myself every week

    The style of football is negative and getting worse by the week. These set of players should be on the front foot not back foot.

    QPR passed through our “press” as if they were a top team knocking the ball about

    This run of form must surely be linked with Dodds leaving?? Somebody convince me im wrong?

    Since the turn of the year Rigg has 0 goals 0 assists and Roberts has 0 goals 2 assists. They will more than likely be your starting 10 and right winger next friday. Crazy.

    I got pelters before but Rigg is not ready to start games for us. I don't see a generational talent either. A good young player. I don't think he has had a good game for us since November.

    We've not played well since Leeds away, wished dodds would realize he's a great coach and not a good manager.
    Seems to have got worse though since the Portuguese bloke has came in as number 2.

    We somehow managed to make QPR look like Liverpool …

    … I’ve no idea how so many players couldn’t pass the ball while they found it easy.

    neil was concerningly ****e today to

    thought there was a few obvious tackles they were dipped out of and I’m holding onto the idea we were being a bit reserved

    if we’re **** in the playoffs I’d pie the gaffer and employ someone whose values possession of the ball

    I just can't see how with the lineup he is likely to go with. We have absolutely no creativity, nothing for the strikers to feed off and a fear of shooting from outside the box.

    I hope you are right though

    It's what the lad says who I was talking to, they're not happy with lampard but fair play to him he's got them there and If I'm honest it's the 2nd worse team we could've been matched against after boro

    So spending 1000s of pounds to spend a week in Portugal was absolutely pointless. I honestly expected us to turn it on today and show the rest of the league what we're capable of going into the playoffs. More fool me, i should have known better.

    Nah don't worry, after 76 shots without scoring Patrick Roberts will finally strike lucky.

    Maybe he needs to play on the left.
