Match Day Thread Queens Park Rangers vs Saints - Wednesday, November 5 - 19:45 KO

Decent enough, by the time he came on we were just camped in our half. He won a couple of headers and should’ve had a chance if Azaz wasn’t ****

 

Ah just seen you thought so too. Good to know!

 

He was a little better tonight, but still grim.

1/10 compared to his usual 0/10

Off the ball, marks no one and ambled about in the wrong places. Weak and didn’t offer an outlet. Too deep.
But he did sprint once and managed to complete a pass.

 

So he did more than Aribo then!

Baby steps with this guy I think. We're so bereft of options I'd rather Tonda played him in the next game to try and get him a bit further along the line, seeing as it's likely Tonda's last game in charge.

 

Harsh.

 

Arma has been so poor that normally I’d say it’s probably worth it..

But it’s really like playing with 10 men when downs is on. I worry that a lot of the pressure against us was because he’s a non-entity

 

To try and be positive, at least they all fought til the end. They didn’t collapse and give up like the last couple of games. Have to be happy about that

 

Nah. The pressure was because we decided to not defend crosses and sit 11 players on our goal line. Including Downs because he's tall, so there was nobody to clear to.

When we did have time to build a sensible clearance, we hoofed it anyway.

 

Touched it once, maybe twice, the whole time he was on. Failed to press, failed to do anything. Again.

 

Exactly this.

 

Ridiculously harsh. He made some headed clearances, he was open for a tap in if Azaz hadn't ballsed up the pass, he did hold the ball up once when I thought he was fouled on the left touchline.

 

Azaz was far worse but Downs is the one getting picked on. Ridiculous.

 

Our clearances totalled 58. Only 1 Offside in the whole game, although I was a bit suspicious about their goal, no VAR to prove otherwise!

 

Won a good attacking header against one of their CBs too, which up until that point was unheard of.

 

Yeah, was 58 clearances to 9. Mental.

 

Azaz was absolutely toilet as well tbf

 

Not harsh at all. He makes Guido Carrillo look like Erling Haaland

 

Romeu bounce coming on Saturday hopefully too.

 

Picked on? Someone literally asked, 'How did Downs get on?' - Why would I talk about Azaz?

Okay then for what it's worth, Azaz was crap, Aribo was crap, Downes was crap, Jander fairly poor, Bazunu crap, J-Rob crap until he scored, Fellows crap, Manning crap. It was only really our CBs and Scienza who played well tonight. Satisfied?
