I like Crooks, but he's seemed pretty ropey the last few matches. I'd have taken him off rather than Slater. Unfortunately we seem to struggle with midfield as Hadziahmetovic doesn't seem to have 90 minutes in him
I don't think he played particularly badly, but he just looks out on his feet after 70 minutes and having to play through a pain barrier isn't easier even for elite players. Similarly, Giles looks knackered as well, lots of heavy touches and poor balls in the last few minutes. Our squad is just threadbare in terms of quality at the moment, so there's not a lot the manager can do if there's a tactical change to be made AND we've got tired legs.
Pandur has his best game of the season and still concedes 3 goals, it tells you all you need to know about the state of our defence. Hughes makes mistakes that any other player would get slaughtered for on here, he’s young and has potential but he’s a long way off the finished article.
this one's gone.... frustrating but not an horrendous performance, still look dangerous going forwards.on to Tuesday
It's not the defence though, it's our midfield, teams just play through us when we don't have Lundstram and Slater on.
Second half, we had 3 goals, how many subs? Just 4 mins of injury time. Where’s the consistency in this? To be fair, we probably needed a lot more
I thought it was our worst performance of the season, letting a poor QPR side get 26 shots away is terrible.
