Match Day Thread QPR v Swans

While I agree we have been below our usual standard lately, we still picked up 7 points from the last 4 games which is a very healthy return. How many times under Rodgers, ML and Monk (Spurs game a prime example) where we played well and got nothing at all?
With the Xmas schedule jammed packed, I'd like to think that Monk sacrificed performances to ensure getting points on the board especially with the next three league games we have coming up and with Ki, Bony, Montero and Jonjo absent for those games.
Our performances might be different to what we have been used to atm, but we cannot deny that they have been effective in picking up points over the Xmas period. That said, I'd like to think that when we return to the one game a week schedule, we will adapt back to our usual way of playing.

 

'Can't understand why some say we were appalling, not only is utter bollox but it is incorrect too. Just what are people expecting from us? play like Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal. Get real for fekk sake?'

No, we expect to play like Swansea City not a bargain basement version.

 

Well Everton are playing the Swansea Way and they're on their way to the basement

 

But their no bargain

 

But their sliding towards the basement

Combined opposition placing 42 (mean 13)
Our league position is 9th (4 places above the mean)
All teams below us at the times we played.

Aren't statistics useless

 

apart from liverpool game where Brendan had the measure of us our football has been what to expect from a club our size In fact we have been playing above ourselves and if our finishing was better by everyone and the diabolical decisions that have gone against us we could well be alongside the saints or possibly higher. So with everything going against us we are having a fantastic season being in 9th place. If we were battling relegation then fans would be right to moan about the football and monk ....

 

Regardless of the football being played, cannot argue with this.
