    All the hype around his signing was that Rio would be a great pull for him coming to QPR and Caulker will learn a lot playing next to Rio.

    Caulker is a good player, but the reality is Rio is dragging down big time.

    TBH I haven't seen much to impress me from Caulker either.

    Our entire back 5 look awful!

    I thought Traore was the best of the back 4 today. but even he gave the ball away too cheaply in dangerous positions a few times

    Would prefer Ned in the centre instead of Rio, and Isla back in at RB

    Does make Simpson being allowed to leave an increasingly strange decision

    Traore was pathetic. How many times was he blocked when trying to cross? He cant defend and got into so many tangles and mixups, and like the rest of them he cant pass. Him and Kranjcar were awful!

    Hard to disagree with this.

    I'd like to see Yun given a chance, with Isla left in so that Ned can play CB.

    You should never change your back four following a successful season. No lessons have been learned after Warnock did the same thing following our last promotion. Clueless has just done the same thing but with an even worse outcome than what Warnock experienced.

    Not wanting to defend anyone after that performance but Traore was left very exposed by Nico, on second thought no I'm right no support for anyone.

    It seems we are the only club that none of our signings have hit any kind of form..... why?
    I hate to stir the pot but something seems to be amiss.

    Could it be our fearless leader can no longer bring the best out of players?
    I must admit I'm starting to feel more of the same won't cut it.

    Can anyone offer some positive feedback to cure my sudden bout of Harryitiss?

    I think Harry's too nice to them and lets them get away with lack of effort. We need a manager that can scare the life out of them and put a rocket up their R's - totally unacceptable at the moment

    Traore was fine and is improving very game IMO

    We have tried all R's together we need immediate creativity to put the opposition under some threat IMO … the game changes on confidence and it needs just a spark and it will change

    We have the players … the funny thing will be how Harold attempts to spin his original cock ups

    I demand Taarabt as he will light up all our very good players … just watch it happen

    Todays game at this level is not just about effort and we have the clever players to make any side in this league look at themselves and panic

    We lack expression … its that clear to me

    He was.

    Nico has played well this season, but he was awful yesterday (everyone's allowed one now and then).
