Match Day Thread QPR v Hull City

Errr...It's no Norwich but it's pretty decent. Maybe you're too old to appreciate it.

 

Listening to Serge, maybe Ajayi was left out today because of the disappointment of his World Cup and Egan played because of his WC.

Either way, Egan doesnt boss it for me, Hughes needs someone alongside him to teach him the same way Daws taught Maguire... as it is he's learning nothing. I think we will be in the market for a CB in January.... and as I said earlier, use the defensive coaches salary to get a decent one..

 

Can’t be too harsh on the team, giving their all at the moment.

 

We have Ajayi who's ready made as a top half centre half. We need to use him before he's away for AFCON!

 

We passed straight to them so many times , and gave the ball away plus our attacks are too slow. , theirs weren’t . We need Ollie because the keeps the ball first thought .

 

I did see a qpr player strike from 25 yards out against the legs of a City player stood in front of him and led to a City counter. Their shots on target went up, so presumably that shot (?) counted? If so, it is a meaningless stat if that is correct.

 

The stream I was watching showed a graphic saying we have conceded ten points from 1-0 up, and that might have been when we were drawing.

 

Blocked shots don’t count towards shots on target.

 

Ok, so has to be the goalie saving it?

 

It odd when Jak couldn’t have been more clear in saying Ajayi is his first choice centre back and Egan is just filling in.

 

I don’t think QPR are poor. They were on the wrong end of a lot of results before the break. They have a hell of a lot of attacking talent in their squad we didn’t manage it well. We move on. Still top 6 way above all our expectations

 

I hate watching sport. Got up at 5 am to watch the Ashes shambles and was looking at City cheering me up.
Because it is such a yo-yo league, I’ve always believed a big thing overlooked is playing teams at the right time.
We had that today and with the possibility of going third. We were bloody awful.

 

Too old to appreciate what? People coming out with a load of crap.

 

It's an incredible city. Stick to your weekends in Harrogate and stop talking nonsense.

 

It's over there somewhere, the point you missed.

 

Nah, it's not. He's consistent, as are you.

 

Norwich is an incredible city? WTF has Harrogate got to do with it? Has it changed since I was last there about 30 years ago? Have you got attachment issues?

 

Lets all be friends

 

QPR head coach Julien Stephan told BBC Radio London:

"Of course the win is very important, but for me the performance is also very important because it means a lot to win a game like this with that level of play.

"I think offensively it was our best performance since the start of the season. Very good movement, a great number of opportunities — 26 shots, 3.5 xG, so it's a lot without a penalty and credit to the players; they deserve this win.

"Another reason I enjoyed this game was the mental reaction after we conceded the first and second goals, because they shot only once in the first half and scored.

"But we stayed focused, the players stuck to the plan, and continued to play how we wanted."

Hull City defender Ryan Giles told BBC Radio Humberside:

"Obviously I'm really disappointed. I felt like we started really well but at times it can be a theme where we go in front and then concede a sloppy goal, and that was the case today.

"There are things leading up to it — it's not just the back four. Chas [Charlie Hughes] is putting his body on the line to try and stop it, and they get a lucky deflection that goes in.

"We've got to look back and see how we can stop the opposition having so many opportunities at our goal."

 

Just been listening to Burnsy and have to agree we’re staring relegation straight in the face unless we sort the defence out massively.
